Gym Stack 360 vs PushPress: the honest comparison.
PushPress is a well-liked choice for CrossFit and functional-fitness boxes, with a free tier and clear pricing. Gym Stack 360 goes further for gyms with a controlled door, several sites or a finance team to keep happy.
Four reasons to switch.
Access control on every plan
PushPress offers 24/7 access through partners such as Kisi on its Pro and Max plans. Gym Stack 360 controls turnstiles and barriers itself, from the entry-level Mini plan up.
Built for more than one site
PushPress doesn’t publish multi-location plans. Gym Stack 360 runs up to 3 sites on Plus and 10 on Pro, with staff scoped to locations and reporting across them.
Finance and BI, not just sales reports
PushPress reports revenue, retention and attendance. Gym Stack 360 adds a P&L, cash flow and budgets (Plus), and MRR waterfall, cohorts and churn-risk scoring (Pro).
The app without the add-on
PushPress’s branded app is an add-on at $81–97/month. The Gym Stack 360 member app is included on every plan.

Where PushPress is strong
PushPress has a genuine free tier, simple month-to-month pricing and a reputation for fast, knowledgeable support. Its Train add-on is strong for workout programming, and it is well loved in the CrossFit and functional-fitness community. For a single-site box that doesn’t need access control or finance tools, it is a solid option.
Switching from PushPress?
