Martial Arts & Fitness Studio Management Software

Gym and martial arts studio management platform covering members, billing, and belt tracking. Austin TX, bootstrapped, niche SMB focus.

About

Gymdesk is a gym management software platform specifically tailored for martial arts schools, boxing gyms, yoga studios, and other boutique fitness facilities, providing membership management, automated billing, class scheduling, lead tracking, and belt/rank progression tracking — a feature unique to martial arts schools that no generic gym management platform provides natively. Founded around 2019 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Gymdesk is a bootstrapped company that has built a loyal customer base among martial arts school owners who previously managed their businesses in spreadsheets or generic software that did not understand the belt ranking, contract management, and student retention dynamics specific to martial arts.\n\nGymdesk's martial arts-specific features include belt and rank tracking for every student, promotion management tools for tracking when students are due for rank review, and contract management for the multi-year membership agreements common in martial arts schools. The billing system handles both month-to-month memberships and long-term EFT (electronic funds transfer) contracts. Lead management tools help studio owners track prospective students through trial class to enrollment. The platform also handles online waivers and document signing for the liability waivers required in contact sports studios.\n\nGymdesk competes with Zen Planner, MINDBODY, and Jackrabbit Martial Arts in the martial arts school management space. Its lower price point relative to enterprise platforms, combined with features purpose-built for martial arts including belt tracking and contract management, make it a preferred choice for independent martial arts school owners managing 50–500 students who want functional software without the complexity and cost of enterprise fitness platforms.

About

Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments.

The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
