a wordpress plugin from hopkins action

Club Manager Pro

Memberships, bookings and payments for your club. On your own site, with no per-member fees.

For clubs, gyms, studios and venues that run classes or sessions. Members join, pay, book and check in from their phone. You run it all from WordPress.

No card needed for the trial. Sold through Freemius.

The Club Manager dashboard: sessions and bookings today, the month’s attendance and new members, and QR codes for today’s classes

the problem

gym software charges you for growing.

Most booking systems are a monthly subscription that goes up with every member you sign. Your members end up on someone else’s app, your data sits on someone else’s server, and leaving means starting again. Club Manager Pro lives on your website. You pay for the licence, not per head.

what it does

everything the front desk does, on their phone

joining

sign up and pay online

New members pick a plan and pay on your site. Monthly subscriptions through Stripe, credit packs, or pay at the door. Family accounts let one person pay for everyone.

Membership plans on a club website: Regular at £45 with 8 credits, marked most popular, and Unlimited at £65

booking

book from their phone

Members see the timetable, book a place and get a reminder. Full classes get a waitlist that fills itself when someone drops out.

A weekly class timetable with boxing, kids boxing, sparring and strength classes

check-in

scan in at the door

Every member gets a QR code. Scan it and they’re checked in, so attendance counts itself.

QR codes for each class, ready to print for the door, plus a code members scan to update their card

self-service

pause, cancel, change card

Members handle their own plan changes, pauses, cancellations and card updates. That’s fewer emails for you.

questions

the honest answers

Are there per-member fees?

No. You pay for the licence. Members, bookings and classes are unlimited.

How does the free trial work?

Start the trial, download the plugin and install it on your site. You get every feature for 14 days. No card needed, and nothing is charged unless you buy a plan.

What do I need to run it?

A WordPress site with WooCommerce, running WordPress 6.0 or later and PHP 8.0 or later. Stripe is optional, for recurring payments.

How do members pay?

Recurring memberships go through Stripe. One-off payments can use any WooCommerce payment method. Cash payments can be logged by hand.

What happens if I stop paying?

The Club Manager admin shows a page asking for a licence and updates stop. Members can still sign up, book, pay and check in, and all your data stays on your site. A lifetime licence never runs out.

Can you set it up for me?

Yes. Hopkins Action can install, brand and run it for your club. Get in touch and ask.
