Gym management software for gyms in South Africa
Independent gyms in South Africa compete with big chains on service, not size — and that means knowing every member. SetGo gives owner-run gyms, CrossFit boxes and studios one system for members, plans, renewals, receipts and attendance, with an app for members. We're now onboarding our first gyms in South Africa.
Plans from US$9.99 a month — see SetGo pricing.

Running a gym in South Africa with SetGo
Many South African gyms collect monthly fees by debit order, with EFT, card and QR apps such as SnapScan and Zapper for the rest. Failed debit orders are a regular month-end task, and POPIA governs how member and banking details are stored. SetGo shows who has paid and who has not, so following up on a failed debit order starts from one list. Staff record each payment once it has cleared, and the member's days left update straight away.
