A PushPress alternative for gyms that want one system

PushPress and Alef Solutions both run training gyms — classes, memberships, check-ins, billing. The difference is scope and delivery: PushPress is a gym management platform built by gym owners for class-based gyms, while Alef runs the whole business on one shared record, with scheduling as one module alongside CRM, POS, and a website builder — and we stand the system up for you.

About PushPress

PushPress is a gym management platform built by gym owners for class-based training communities — CrossFit-style, functional fitness, martial arts: scheduling, memberships, check-ins, billing, and reporting, with a free entry plan and paid tiers. That gym-owner DNA and the genuinely free starting plan are real strengths. Alef takes a different approach — one operating system for the whole business, delivered trained and running.

Side by side

Dimension
Alef Solutions
PushPress
Pricing model
A per-user subscription to run it, plus a scoped one-time fee to build your system — delivered running, not configured by you.
A free entry plan plus paid tiers and add-ons, with integrated payment processing.
Scope
One platform, one login, shared records: scheduling and classes, memberships, attendance, POS, CRM, and a website builder — the whole business, not just the front desk.
A dedicated gym suite for class-based training: scheduling, memberships, check-ins, billing, and reporting.
Memberships
Membership plans on one entitlement engine, with a business-wide roster, freeze and unfreeze, and MRR — the same rights-to-attend that one-tap check-in consumes.
Memberships and billing tuned to class-based training gyms.
One customer record
The same customer record across classes, POS, and CRM — a booking, a sale, and a contact are one person, not three systems.
Member records centered on training, attendance, and billing.
Delivery
White-glove: we configure, populate, train your team, and hand you a running system.
Self-serve start — the free plan advertises no setup fees and no contracts — with support resources.

When PushPress may fit better

  • You want to start at zero subscription cost: PushPress publishes a free plan, with paid tiers as you grow.
  • You run a CrossFit-style, functional-fitness, or martial-arts gym and want a product built by gym owners for that community.
  • Your needs stay on the gym floor — classes, check-ins, memberships, billing — and you don't need the rest of the business in the same system.

When Alef Solutions fits better

  • You want scheduling, memberships, POS, CRM, and your website on one shared record — not stitched-together point tools.
  • You'd rather receive the system delivered running — configured, populated, and your team trained — than set it up yourself.
  • You run a broader business where the gym is one part of the operation, and you want it all in one place.
