Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OLM is gym management software for martial arts academies and gyms, including BJJ, judo, karate, taekwondo, and Muay Thai. It combines kiosk and QR-code check-ins, class scheduling, belt and rank tracking, recurring membership billing, digital waivers, member messaging, analytics, training journals, and churn alerts. The product is a fit for dojo teams that need ranked-discipline workflows alongside attendance, billing, and member access through web, iOS, and Android apps.
Its pricing structure centers on free platform access rather than a fixed paid monthly subscription. The $0-per-month Platform access plan includes unlimited members and check-ins, AI Monitor with churn prediction, Stripe Connect billing, class scheduling, digital waivers, and a white-labeled mobile app. Membership invoices add a 2% transaction fee with a $2 minimum, while seminars, merchandise, and drop-ins carry a 3% fee with no per-charge cap. In-gym POS transactions for drinks, snacks, and retail incidentals have no fee. A one-time $499 setup fee covers roster import, Stripe Connect setup, white-label theming, and a founder onboarding call.
Waivers are a standout capability: OLM supports signatures, PDF storage, hashing, and audit trails, which gives academies a structured way to manage member forms. The wider feature set also includes recurring classes with caps, waitlists, and instructor assignments; per-discipline promotion history; revenue, churn, lifetime value, and instructor utilization reports with CSV export; and a member app for schedules, check-ins, waivers, billing, and notifications. Integrations include Stripe, Resend, SendGrid, S3, and Clerk. OLM suits teams wanting broad dojo operations in one system, while organizations seeking to avoid transaction-based pricing should consider alternatives with a fixed subscription model.
