The 6 AM problem

You opened a gym to coach. Not to chase admin.

  1. 1

    Trials fall through

    Someone DMs for a trial, it goes on the whiteboard, they no-show, nobody follows up. A member you paid to find, gone.

  2. 2

    Members ghost quietly

    Your eight-month regular stops showing up. Nobody notices until the cancellation email lands.

  3. 3

    Money leaks

    Declined cards retry into the void. Cash drop-ins go unlogged. Revenue is a guess you make at tax time.

A day at the gym

Five moments. One corner working all of them.

Here’s what CornerDesk handles on an ordinary Tuesday — most of it before you’ve noticed.

Tonight's classes, trials to follow up, money to recover, members drifting — each a queue you clear inline, without opening another tab.

Your public booking page takes the class, the waiver and the phone number — no account, no app. CornerDesk confirms by text, reminds at 24h and 2h, and walks the lead from booked to member.

Money

A card declines. It's handled before you hear about it.

Payments run through your own Stripe account, so money lands with you. When a card fails, CornerDesk flags it, texts an update link, schedules a retry and counts what comes back.

Fifteen minutes to fight shape.

  1. 1~5 min

    Open your corner

    Programs, plans, weekly schedule, waiver — the wizard walks you through it, then your 30 free days start.

  2. 2~7 min

    Bring your roster

    Drop in your Zen Planner CSV — or send it to us and we'll do the import free. Duplicates flagged, plans mapped, full preview before anything lands.

  3. 3~3 min

    Connect Stripe

    One onboarding link. Memberships, drop-ins and packs bill to your account — we never touch your money. Tomorrow morning, Today tells you what needs you.

Pricing

One plan. Everything in it.

No tiers, no per-member math, no feature gating. If your gym runs on it, it’s included — kiosk, texts, trials, payments, all of it.

Your first 30 days are free, and if you’re coming from Zen Planner we move your data for you — no setup fee, no migration fee.

Founding gyms lock this rate in for as long as they stay.

FAQ

Straight answers.

For gym owners who’ve been burned by software before.

01Do my members need to install an app?

No. Members get a magic link by text message — their portal opens in a browser with their next class, booking, membership, and card-update button. Nothing to install, no passwords.

02I'm on Zen Planner. How painful is moving?

It isn't — we do it for you, free. Send us your exports and we import members, memberships, class balances, ranks, notes and payment history, and your weekly schedule (paste it in, or we enter it with you); you check a full preview, then run both side by side for your 30 free days. Prefer to do it yourself? The importer reads Zen Planner CSVs directly.

03What happens after the free 30 days?

It's $99/month, flat. You add a card when you start, we email you three days before the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before then and pay nothing.

04Where does my money actually go?

To you. Each gym connects its own Stripe account, so member payments settle directly with you. CornerDesk never holds funds.

05What does the kiosk run on?

Any tablet, laptop, or phone with a browser. Optionally protect it with a staff PIN. Members type their name and tap — check-in takes under five seconds.

06Is there a contract or setup fee?

Neither. Month-to-month, no setup fee, no migration fee. Download everything as CSVs any time — members, memberships, payments, attendance, notes, ranks, messages and signed waivers — even after you cancel. If you leave, you leave with everything.

07Multi-location? Fight camps? POS inventory?

Not yet — on purpose. CornerDesk is built deep for single-location independent gyms first. If that's you, you're exactly who this is for.
