Built for jiu-jitsu academy owners
GymForge helps owner-operators create classes, add students, and take attendance from a phone without the bloat.
Founding gym pricing: $39/month
Soft open: early access for friendly gyms and real owner feedback
No credit card required to create an early access account
No signup required to try the demo
No spreadsheets. No chasing people. Just tap and go.
Everything is designed to work while you're running a live class, not sitting at a desk.
Most gym management software is:
Packed with features you don't use. Enterprise dashboards, marketing suites, corporate spa tools. You just need to manage students and run classes.
Dozens of menus and settings pages to check someone in. You should not need a front desk system just to mark attendance.
High monthly fees for tools built around someone else's business. Small academies need focused software at a sane price.
You end up spending more time managing software than running your academy.
GymForge is focused on the essentials:
Profiles, belt ranks, emergency contacts, membership status. The basics a real academy needs.
Know who's paid, who hasn't, and what's coming up. Simple tracking without pretending to be your whole finance stack.
Simple check-ins that work. See who showed up to Tuesday night no-gi without fighting your software.
Belt ranks, promotions, family accounts, class schedules. Designed for academies, not generic fitness checklists.
No clutter. No unnecessary features. Just the core tools a small jiu-jitsu academy needs.
Jiu Jitsu academies that need software that understands belt ranks, open mats, and kids classes.
Small martial arts schools that don't need enterprise software built for 50-location chains.
Gym owners who want less admin work and more time focusing on what matters.
Coaches who'd rather be on the mat than stuck behind a screen fighting clunky software.
GymForge is in a soft-open period for early jiu-jitsu academies. The goal is to stay close to real owners, improve the core class flow, and keep pricing practical for small gyms.
Founding gyms get a clear monthly price while GymForge continues to mature, with no bloated package or enterprise sales dance.
For early academies that join during the founder pricing period.
GymForge was built by a longtime jiu-jitsu practitioner who wanted simpler, more affordable software for real academies.
Most tools try to do everything, then make simple things harder. GymForge is focused on the work a small academy owner does every week: set up classes, manage students, and take attendance without fighting the software.
Not fully. GymForge is in a soft-open early access period with friendly gyms and interested BJJ owners. The core flows are being tested carefully before a broader launch.
Founding gyms get GymForge for $39/month while active. It is meant to keep the product affordable for early academies while the core experience improves.
No. GymForge is designed for owner-operators and coaches who need to handle class setup and attendance themselves, often from a phone.
Yes. You can try the demo without signing up, or create an early access account without a credit card.
