Why gym owners switch from Glofox to PodiumKit
- •Transaction fees add up fast — Glofox takes a cut of every booking. At 34 members, HVPT was losing ~£100/month in fees alone.
- •No weights tracking — Glofox has no built-in way for members to log lifts, track PRs, or view progress. You need a separate app.
- •Your data isn't yours — try exporting your full member database from Glofox. PodiumKit gives you full data ownership and portability from day one.
- •Setup takes weeks, not days — Glofox onboarding is slow and impersonal. PodiumKit goes live in 2–5 days with white-glove setup included.
Key differences
The three reasons gyms switch from Glofox to PodiumKit.
Full branding
Your app, your name, your colours. Members never see "Glofox" — they see your gym.
Zero transaction fees
Every pound your members pay goes to you. No per-booking charges, no revenue share, no surprises.
You own your data
Member data, session history, progress logs — it all belongs to you, always exportable, never locked in.
