FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Gym Manager Hub cheaper than GGMS?▾
Pricing depends on the plan. GGMS starts at ₹349/month for its basic plan but requires longer-term commitments (6 months to 5 years) for lower per-month pricing. Gym Manager Hub offers transparent monthly pricing with a 7-day free trial and no long lock-ins. Compare the feature set — Gym Manager Hub includes WhatsApp Business integration, GST-compliant invoices, UPI payments and a dedicated member mobile app on every paid plan.
Does GGMS support WhatsApp Business messages?▾
