- GymRoute Martial Arts Management Software
Martial Arts School Software
Run your dojo with focus, not admin.
GymRoute is martial arts management software that tracks belt progression, handles family memberships, and runs billing automatically, so the hours you used to spend on paperwork go back into teaching.
Built for dojos, academies, and martial arts studios of every discipline, with pricing that stays flat whether you have 30 students or 300.
Simplify dojo management with one intuitive platform
Running a martial arts school is about far more than teaching technique or preparing students for their next grading. It is about building community, instilling discipline, and watching students progress, all while tracking who is due to test, chasing late payments, juggling family accounts, and rebuilding the class timetable every time an instructor calls in sick.
Without the right tools, that administrative load quietly takes over. The hours disappear into spreadsheets and payment reminders instead of going into teaching and building your dojo’s culture.
That is the problem GymRoute was built to solve.
Martial arts management software is a platform that runs the daily operations of a dojo or academy: student records, belt and rank progression, class scheduling, attendance, family memberships, and recurring billing, all in one system.
It differs from general gym software in one important way. A standard gym platform tracks whether a member showed up. Martial arts software tracks where each student sits in their progression: attendance toward the next grading, technique requirements met, testing eligibility, and rank history across years of training.
GymRoute brings all of it into a single platform, so you can see at a glance who is ready to test, which families are paid up, and how full next week’s classes are, without opening a single spreadsheet.

Key features of GymRoute martial arts management software
GymRoute is built around the specific ways martial arts schools operate, whether you teach Karate, Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, or any other discipline.
Lead management
Turn trial-class inquiries into enrolled students. Capture leads from your website, ads, and walk-ins, automate follow-up so nobody slips through, and see which sources actually fill your mat. See how lead management works.
Family and student membership management
Create flexible memberships for individuals and families, with siblings and parents on one account and one payment. Manage renewals, freeze accounts during injury or travel, and track attendance across every family member. See how membership management works.
Point of sale & billing
Sell gis, gloves, pads, and grading fees at the front desk, and run recurring dues in the same system. Payments, invoices, and retail revenue land in one place, so your reporting reflects the whole dojo. See how the POS system works.
Class scheduling & booking
Build class timetables by discipline and rank level, manage instructor calendars, cover substitutions without rebuilding the week, and let students book online. See how scheduling and booking works.
Mobile app access
Give students and parents instant access to schedules, bookings, rank progress, and payments through a branded member app carrying your dojo’s name.
Access control
Tie entry to membership status automatically, so access is granted or restricted based on active memberships, class times, or instructor permissions. Every entry is logged for attendance and utilization reporting, which keeps your training space secure and your check-in seamless. See how access control works.

Frequently asked questions
Questions dojo owners ask before switching to GymRoute.
Does GymRoute track belt and rank progression?
Yes. GymRoute tracks each student’s rank history, attendance toward their next grading, and testing eligibility automatically. You set the attendance and time-in-rank requirements for each level in your curriculum, and the system flags who is ready to test. Students and parents can see their own progress in the member app, which gives them a visible reason to keep training. Rank structures are configurable, so colored belts, stripes, and dan grades all work the way your school already runs them.
Can GymRoute handle family memberships?
Yes. Siblings and parents can sit on a single account with one recurring payment, while attendance and rank progress are tracked individually for each student. You can also freeze an account during injury or travel rather than losing the family entirely. Family plans are one of the most common reasons dojos outgrow general gym software, so this is built in rather than bolted on.
How much does martial arts software cost?
GymRoute starts at $99/month (Excel) with membership and package management, digital forms, and online booking and scheduling. Exceed at $199/month adds lead management, point of sale, loyalty programs, and inventory. Ultimate at $299/month adds marketing automation, video-on-demand, staff management, and multi-location support. Every plan includes unlimited students and staff, so your cost stays the same whether your dojo has 30 students or 300. There are no setup fees, no PCI fees, and no contracts. See full pricing.
Can parents see their child's schedule and progress?
Yes. Parents get access through the branded member app, where they can view class schedules, book sessions, track their child’s progress toward the next grading, and manage payments. For schools with a large youth program, this cuts down the volume of “when is the next test?” messages your instructors field every week.
Will switching from my current martial arts software be difficult?
No. GymRoute includes free data migration, so we transfer your student records, ranks, memberships, and payment details for you rather than handing you a CSV template. Setup includes a one-hour call, a staff training session, and 30-day onboarding support. Average switch time is 7 days with no downtime.
Is GymRoute suitable for my discipline?
Yes. GymRoute works for Karate, Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Aikido, Kung Fu, Kickboxing, MMA, Hapkido, and other disciplines. Because rank structures, class formats, and grading requirements are all configurable, the software adapts to your curriculum rather than forcing your school to fit a fixed template.
How does GymRoute help me grow my school?
Two ways. Lead management captures trial-class inquiries from your website, ads, and walk-ins, then automates follow-up so prospects do not go cold. Retention tools, including progress visibility in the app and automated engagement, keep existing students training longer. Since most dojos lose more revenue to quiet attrition than to failed marketing, progress tracking often does more for growth than any campaign.
