Built for martial arts schools

Glofox is built for class-led fitness businesses of all kinds — gyms, Pilates, yoga, cycling and boxing studios. FightKit is built for martial arts schools: ranks, curricula and grading sessions are part of how it works.

From enquiry to paying member in one place

FightKit takes people from first enquiry to paying member:

Enquiry and trial booking forms on your website, so people can book a trial class themselves
Two-way email conversations — every email with a lead shows up in one thread inside FightKit
Automated follow-ups when someone enquires, books a trial, or doesn't turn up
Pre-filled registration links — their details are already in, so they just pick a membership and pay

When Glofox might suit you better

FightKit isn't the right fit for every school. Glofox may suit you better if:

You want an app in your own branding. Glofox gives members a branded app and web booking experience.
You rely on texts and push notifications. Glofox sends email, text and push messages. FightKit only sends email for now.
You run a franchise or many locations. Glofox supports multi-region businesses, including franchise and royalty models.
You sell class packs. Glofox supports credit packs alongside recurring memberships.
You run more than martial arts. If you also run Pilates, yoga or cycling classes, Glofox covers those too.

Switching from Glofox

Moving to FightKit doesn't mean starting again. Export your students from Glofox and import them into FightKit in bulk from a CSV file. Then set up your memberships and timetable.

Payment details are held by Glofox's payment processor, so ask Glofox whether they can transfer them. If not, send members a registration link with their details already filled in — they just confirm their membership and add a payment method.
