Glofox alternative
Glofox is built for class-led fitness businesses, from independent studios to gym brands growing across many locations, and is part of ABC Fitness. If you run one studio and a timetable of classes, Strong OS is shaped around you.

Strong OS suits
A single-site studio that runs a class timetable and wants a real person to set it up.
Glofox suits
Gym brands and franchises growing across many locations, with a branded member app.
Book a demo and we set Strong OS up with your own classes, so you judge it on your studio rather than a sample one.
Download your client list, and remaining class credits with their expiry dates if Glofox lets you export them. Do it before you cancel, not after.
Your members, their remaining credits and expiry dates go in, and we build your timetable, memberships and class packs with you. Nobody is emailed until you choose to invite them.
How memberships keep collecting depends on who holds the payment details today. We go through it for your setup before you pick a date.
You invite members when you are ready. They set a password and book from your booking page or the app.
Credits per class type, class packs and waitlists, built around a studio timetable.
Single-site studios aren’t one segment among many for us. They’re who Strong OS is built for.
Clean and quick for you and your team, every day.
We set you up personally, move your members and their remaining credits across, and get you live.
Glofox offers a branded member app and is built to scale from one location to many. If you’re a chain or a franchise, look closely at it. If you run one class-based studio, you may want software built only around that.
Judge that on a demo with your own timetable rather than on our say-so. Strong OS is built to be quick and uncluttered for one studio’s day to day.
Yes. We import your members with their remaining credits and expiry dates, build your timetable, memberships and packs with you, and onboard you personally. Ask Glofox what you can export, and in what format, before you plan the date.
Not if they are in your export. Remaining credits and pass expiry dates import with each member, so a member with six classes left still has six.
Our focus is single sites. More than one venue is supported, but not deeply. If you run a franchise or a group, Glofox is built for that and we won’t pretend otherwise.
If you run a timetable of classes and memberships, yes: pilates, reformer, barre, yoga and aerial.
Book a 20-minute demo and we’ll show you exactly how a switch from Glofox would work for your studio.
