Gym Stack 360 vs Mindbody: the honest comparison.
Mindbody is a long-standing platform for boutique fitness and wellness, with a consumer marketplace behind it. Gym Stack 360 is built for gyms that want access control, finance and a member app in one price — without add-ons or a sales call.
Four reasons to switch.
Every price, published
Mindbody starts at $79/month per location, but its Starter, Accelerate and Ultimate tiers are priced through sales. Gym Stack 360 publishes every tier, per location, with no setup fee.
Access control without a partner
Mindbody works with door-access partners such as Kisi, Brivo and Gym Access. Gym Stack 360 drives turnstiles and barriers itself, on every plan, with single-use QR codes that can’t be shared.
Beyond revenue reports
Mindbody reports revenue by service, staff and location. Gym Stack 360 adds a full P&L, cash flow, budgets and a month-end close per location from the Plus plan.
The member app is included
Mindbody’s branded app is a paid add-on on Accelerate and Ultimate. Every Gym Stack 360 plan includes the member app, with check-in, booking, loyalty and referrals.

Mindbody’s consumer marketplace can put your classes in front of millions of people looking for somewhere to train, and its booking tools are mature after many years in the market.

Switching from Mindbody?
Is Gym Stack 360 a good Mindbody alternative?
Yes, for gyms that want access control, finance and a member app without add-ons. Gym Stack 360 publishes every price, includes turnstile control and the member app on every plan, and adds P&L, cash flow and budgets from the Plus plan.
Can I import my Mindbody data?
