PT Suite vs Gymcatch

PT Suite vs Gymcatch: frequently asked questions

Is Gymcatch good value for instructors?

+

Yes, on pure platform cost Gymcatch is hard to beat: £10+VAT/month covers unlimited bookings and customers, with no commission or per-booking fee from Gymcatch itself. Where the value shifts is once you need more than bare booking — memberships/subscriptions, custom waivers, discount codes, courses, and website integration are each a separate £2+VAT/month bolt-on, and there's no native workout programming, video sales, or client progress tracking. For a class-only or bootcamp instructor with simple needs, Gymcatch's base price is excellent; for a business needing several of those bolt-ons plus programming, the maths starts to favour an all-in-one.

What's included in Gymcatch's base plan versus the bolt-ons?

+

The £10+VAT/month base plan covers web and mobile booking, unlimited bookings and customers, scheduling, waitlists, passes and bundles, notifications, and payment processing via GymcatchPay, Stripe, or GoCardless. Memberships/subscriptions, customised waivers, discount codes, courses, auto credit-backs, and website integration are each separate £2+VAT/month bolt-ons you add individually. PT Suite includes recurring memberships, waivers, and a branded website as standard, without a per-feature add-on model.

Does Gymcatch include workout programming?

+

No. Gymcatch is a booking and payments platform for classes, courses, and appointments — it does not include structured workout programming, an exercise library, progress tracking across training blocks, or AI-assisted session planning. Instructors who also do 1:1 or small-group personal training typically pair Gymcatch with a separate programming tool. PT Suite includes real workout programming, AI session planning, and client progress records natively alongside booking and payments.

What's a Gymcatch alternative with a website builder?

+

PT Suite is the closest alternative that adds a full no-code branded website — Gymcatch's website integration bolt-on lets you embed its booking widget into a site you already have, but it doesn't build or host the site itself. PT Suite includes a fully branded website with services, pricing, schedule, and on-demand video library, on your own domain, as part of the base price.

Does Gymcatch charge booking or commission fees?

+

No — Gymcatch's own pricing page states there are 'no booking fees, admin fees, or hidden charges' beyond the flat £10+VAT/month platform fee and any bolt-ons you choose to add. Standard payment-processor fees apply from whichever processor you use (GymcatchPay, Stripe, or GoCardless), set by the processor rather than Gymcatch. PT Suite works the same way: no platform transaction fee, only your connected Stripe account's standard processing rate.

Gymcatch vs PT Suite — which should I choose?

+

Choose Gymcatch if you run class-only or bootcamp-style sessions and want the lowest possible flat platform fee, adding bolt-ons only as you need them. Choose PT Suite if you want memberships, workout programming, AI session planning, on-demand video sales, client progress records, and a branded website included in one flat price rather than assembled from separate add-ons. Instructors running a mix of classes and 1:1 or small-group coaching tend to get more from PT Suite's bundled approach.
