Everfit vs GymMaster
Everfit scores 8.2/10 vs 7.5/10. Best for: Personal trainers and fitness coaches who want AI-powered workout programming, automated coaching delivery, and a free starting point that actually works.
Everfit scores higher overall at 8.2/10 vs 7.5/10. Everfit is the top-rated coaching platform for a reason. The free plan with 5 clients lets you test everything before paying, and the AI workout builder is a genuine time saver. At $49/mo for 50 clients, that is under $1 per client. If you are a personal trainer or online coach focused on programming delivery, Everfit should be on your shortlist. Just know it will not replace a full gym management system if you also need class scheduling and front desk tools.

What the pricing really means
At first glance, Everfit looks cheaper at $0/month vs $99/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where Everfit wins
- Free plan with 5 clients is generous enough to run a small coaching side hustle
- 4.8/5 on both G2 and Capterra across 518 reviews, the highest-rated coaching platform
- AI Workout Builder generates programs in seconds instead of hours
- Autoflow delivers programs automatically so you coach more clients with less manual work
Where GymMaster wins
- Built-in 24/7 door access control with RFID and Bluetooth readers. No separate access system or monthly fee for a third-party provider like Kisi
- Highly customizable for specific gym workflows. Long-term users report tailoring membership types, billing rules, and access zones to fit their exact setup
- Support team responds fast and walks you through onboarding. Gym owners consistently praise getting real help, not canned responses
- 60-day money-back guarantee gives you two full months to test with real members before you are locked in
Where Everfit falls short
- Not a gym management system, no class scheduling, front desk, or POS
- Growth plan caps at 50 clients, trainers scaling past that pay $99/mo
- No built-in marketing tools or website builder for client acquisition
- 30-day affiliate cookie is shorter than competitors like Trainerize at 90 days
Where GymMaster falls short
- Pricing starts at $99/mo for Lite and climbs to $190/mo for Plus: more expensive than basic tools like Zen Planner for similar member counts
- Initial setup takes time. Configuring access zones, membership tiers, and billing rules can easily eat a full week before you are running smoothly
- POS app gets poor reviews from gym owners. Selling retail items or supplements at the front desk is clunky compared to a basic Square terminal
- No workout builder or exercise programming. If you coach members on training plans, you need a separate tool like Exercise.com or TrueCoach
Who is each product built for?
Everfit
Target: 1-10 trainers
Everfit is the top-rated coaching platform for a reason. The free plan with 5 clients lets you test everything before paying, and the AI workout builder is a genuine time saver. At $49/mo for 50 clients, that is under $1 per client. If you are a personal trainer or online coach focused on programming delivery, Everfit should be on your shortlist. Just know it will not replace a full gym management system if you also need class scheduling and front desk tools.
GymMaster
Target: 50-2000 members
Buy GymMaster if you run a 24/7 access gym or fitness center with 100-2,000 members and need integrated door access control without paying for a separate system. The access hardware integration is the real differentiator. Skip if you run a training-focused studio that needs workout programming, because GymMaster does not have it.
