OpenMat review
A free gym management system covering scheduling, bookings, billing, attendance, and waivers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenMat is gym management software for yoga studios, CrossFit boxes, martial arts academies, and general fitness facilities. Its Free plan combines class scheduling, online booking, capacity management, memberships, payments, attendance tracking, digital waivers, member messaging, and instructor roles. Studios can publish schedules, share public booking links, manage class capacity, and support memberships, class packs, drop-ins, and trials without a monthly software subscription.
The pricing model is straightforward: the Free plan costs $0 USD per month, billed monthly. It includes a gym account and schedule publishing, scheduling and online booking, memberships and recurring billing, check-in and attendance, digital waivers, and member communication. OpenMat charges 1% on paid classes and 0.7% on recurring memberships when eligible online payments are collected, in addition to Stripe processing. Stripe is the listed integration, making it relevant for studios that want membership billing and payment collection within that ecosystem.
OpenMat also includes an AI-assisted workflow for importing schedules from images, which can help convert existing timetable material into a published schedule. Instructor assignment and staff roles add operational structure for teams managing classes across a shared calendar. The product is available on web and iOS, so it suits studios whose staff and members work within those platforms. It is a practical choice for businesses seeking core management tools without a monthly fee, while studios that require waitlists, resource booking, or broader platform coverage should consider alternatives with those capabilities.
