A Clubworx alternative

core.club vs
Clubworx

gym & fitness club management software

Clubworx is built for gyms, martial-arts schools and fitness studios. It handles member management, attendance, recurring billing and a sales CRM, and it does the day-to-day of that kind of business well. core.club works for any club. It covers the same memberships and billing, then adds a native member app, events, court reservations, leagues and member chat.

Frequently asked

Is core.club a Clubworx alternative?+

Yes. It covers memberships, billing and class check-ins like Clubworx does, and adds events, court reservations, leagues and member chat in a native app, for any club rather than only gyms.

What does Clubworx do that core.club does not?+

Clubworx has a sales CRM with lead capture and follow-up, and SMS marketing. core.club now has digital e-signed waivers and automated email marketing, but no sales/lead CRM or SMS campaigns, so a gym focused on converting leads will still get more from Clubworx there.

Does core.club do recurring billing?+

Yes. Recurring dues and one-off payments run through Stripe, with a 2.5% platform fee that’s capped.
