Shifton review
A low-cost scheduling option for very small gyms with core workforce tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Shifton is a workforce management platform for gyms, fitness studios and other shift-based teams. It supports scheduling for trainers, instructors, front-desk staff and floor staff, while also handling availability, time-off requests, open shifts, swaps, clock-ins, clock-outs and attendance. Managers can coordinate multiple locations and review labor hours, budgets and pay-rate reports. Employees can access schedules and submit requests through web and mobile apps.
The pricing structure suits small teams that need a low entry cost. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes basic functions, up to 10 people, one project and no time limit. The Basic functions plan starts at $1 per employee per month when billed monthly. It adds shift scheduling, shift swapping, open shifts, a mobile app and API access. The vendor’s pricing page also states 60-day module trials. Paid pricing is modular, and additional modules cost extra, so the total cost depends on the capabilities a gym selects.
Platform coverage includes web, iOS, Android and API access. Listed integrations include Usedesk, Zapier, Intercom and QuickBooks, giving gyms options for connecting scheduling with support, automation, communications and accounting workflows. The feature set is broad for day-to-day staff coordination, with attendance tracking, mobile notifications, employee access and labor reporting alongside scheduling. Very small gyms should consider Shifton when a free plan or low per-employee starting price matters. Teams needing a single all-inclusive package should review the modular structure carefully before choosing it.
