Zen Planner review
A focused gym platform with billing, scheduling, tracking, and staff tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Zen Planner is gym and fitness business management software for gyms, martial arts schools, studios, and fitness businesses. It brings together member management, class and event scheduling, online booking, waitlists, recurring billing, payment processing, digital contracts, waivers, reporting, staff tools, workout tracking, marketing automation, CRM, and member-facing mobile access. Its strongest fit is for martial arts and other skill-based gyms that need to track progression as well as manage day-to-day operations.
Pricing is straightforward at the published entry point: Zen Planner Studio costs $99 per month, billed monthly, for the 0–45 active-member tier. The plan includes membership management, scheduling, workout tracking, a mobile app, and reporting tools. The product details describe pricing as tiered by active members, so operators should assess the member band that matches their current size and expected growth. Multi-location support is included, while billing and payment processing are part of the broader platform feature set.
The standout capability is the combination of operational management with workout, skill, and belt tracking. That makes Zen Planner more relevant to martial arts schools and skill-focused programs than a basic scheduling or payment tool. Staff can use mobile tools for attendance, scheduling, notes, and time clocks, while members can book classes and join waitlists. The platform supports web and Android, with integrations listed for SugarWOD and Daxko Payments. Choose Zen Planner if progression tracking, billing, booking, waivers, and staff workflows need to live together. Larger operators should review the active-member tiers, and iOS-dependent businesses should consider the platform coverage carefully.
