Which features does each one have?
The two columns are not the same kind of evidence, and it is fairer to say so. The Mindbody column quotes one page of its own site: Mindbody UK pricing page (checked 11 November 2026). We have not used Mindbody, so "not stated" means only that the page we read did not mention it: Mindbody may well do it. Our column is the part of ZXN Fitness that does it, and each feature links to the moment of a gym's day where it works.
| Feature | Mindbody, in its own words | ZXN Fitness |
|---|---|---|
| Class booking | The Starter plan lists "Branded website booking widgets". | In the suite The timetable, booking, class passes and the waitlist, on the gym's own website. |
| Card payments | The Starter plan lists "Integrated payments". The plan table shows "Point of sale & online payments" on every plan. | In the suite Card payments on the gym's own Stripe account, paid straight to the gym. |
| Gym website | The Starter plan lists "A website for your business". | In the suite A gym website with class booking built in, built and looked after by our sister site. |
| Recurring memberships | Not stated on the page we read. | In the suite Monthly and fixed-term memberships that members join, change and cancel themselves. |

| Staff app | The page says "Manage from anywhere on your phone or tablet." | In the suite Who is in, each room's class and who needs a word, on the desk tablet and the coaches' phones. |

When is Mindbody the better fit?
When your gym already runs well on it. Moving software has a cost of its own, and only you know how well Mindbody serves your gym. Ask Mindbody what it does for a gym like yours, and compare that with the rooms below.
When does ZXN Fitness fit?
When your gym wants one system for the whole day: the door at opening, classes and the waitlist, memberships and Direct Debit, waivers and PAR-Q, personal training, the staff app at peak, the owner's figures and the emails to lapsed members. One day at a gym shows each of them at work, and the features page lists every part. Our team sets up each gym, and the go-live date for each part is agreed in writing before the first payment.
The Mindbody page we read does not mention recurring memberships, direct debit, check-in, door access, waivers and par-q or api and webhooks. That is not a gap in Mindbody: it is a limit of how little of its site we read.
How was this comparison made, and what are its limits?
- We read one page on Mindbody's own site on 11 November 2026, once, with no login and no form, and kept a dated copy of the text: Mindbody UK pricing page (checked 11 November 2026). Every figure and every quotation above is in that copy.
- We have not used Mindbody, and this page gives no opinion of it. It has no ratings, no reviews and no ranking.
- A vendor's site says more than the pages we read. A feature marked "not stated" may exist: check with Mindbody.
- Prices and plans change. The date on this page is the date we read them, and Mindbody's own site is the place to check today's.
- Mindbody is the name of another company's product. It is used here only to say which product is meant.
If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us through the contact page and we will check it against the vendor's page and correct it. The other comparisons are on the compare page.
