Detailed Review
Gymcatch Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 8545573, with its registered office c/o Bright Grahame Murray in London. The terms are governed by English law.
The privacy policy says all data is stored on computers located in the United Kingdom.
Base plan plus bolt-ons
The base plan starts at £10 plus VAT per month with one free month and no tie-in, and includes apps, unlimited bookings, customers and team members, scheduling, passes and bundles, notifications and referral marketing.
Extras such as memberships, discount codes, courses, customised waivers and website integration code are £2 plus VAT each per month.
Payments
Payments run through GymcatchPay (UK), Stripe and, per the FAQ, GoCardless. Processing fees are not included in the base price, and the pricing page does not give the rates.
UK data storage
Data is stored in the UK on infrastructure from Linode and AWS, and international data is transferred to the UK. The policy does not say which provider holds which data and is not fully consistent on who controls the data clubs collect from their customers.
Limitations to Consider
UK jurisdiction rather than EU: the UK has an EU adequacy decision, but that status can change. Processing fees are extra and unpublished. Infrastructure is on US cloud providers (Linode and AWS), albeit stored in the UK. There is no access-control or point-of-sale module listed, so gyms with turnstiles should look at Magicline or Liberfit.
Who Should Use Gymcatch
Personal trainers and small studios that want booking, passes and memberships at a low fixed price.
