A PushPress alternative for independent gyms.
PushPress is built for independent class gyms and boxes, with a free plan that earns its keep on card fees. Here is how the maths and the features compare with Timeo.
Who looks for a PushPress alternative
PushPress’s free plan is a smart way to start. As a gym grows, owners compare what the card fees and add ons cost against a flat plan.
- The free plan has the highest card rate. Free is USD 0 a month with 4.99% + 30¢ per card payment. On USD 10,000 a month in card dues, that is more than USD 499 in fees.
- Lower rates mean a monthly plan. Pro is USD 159 a month at 2.89% + 30¢, and Max USD 229 at 2.75% + 30¢.
- Add ons for growth. A branded app is USD 97 a month, Grow (CRM, email, SMS and websites) USD 329 a month and Train USD 79 a month.

When PushPress is the better choice
- You run a CrossFit style box. PushPress Train logs workouts, benchmarks and PRs with leaderboards. Timeo has a workout log but no leaderboards or PR tracking.
- You want free migration and a CRM. PushPress includes migration at no cost, and Grow adds a full CRM with automated workflows.
- You process little by card. If most members pay by ACH or cash, the free plan can cost very little.
When Timeo is the better fit
- Card volume makes fees the big line. Timeo charges a flat USD 39 or USD 49 a month, and card payments go through your own Stripe or Airwallex account at their rates.
- Door access in the same system. Timeo Gate reads the same membership record, so a lapsed member is turned away at the door without a third party integration.
- More than classes. Timeo also runs a POS for drinks and gear, PT appointments, gift cards and loyalty, in one console in English, Chinese or Thai.
Moving from PushPress to Timeo
The member list and each member’s live plan are what matter. PushPress’s help centre documents a CSV export of attendance; for the member list, ask PushPress support.
- Create your plans under Catalog > Membership plans with the same names you use in PushPress.
- To bring live memberships and session packs across, add Plan, Expiry date, Total sessions and Sessions used columns: one row per member per package. Create the same plan names under Catalog > Membership plans first and the imported packages link to them.
- In Timeo, open Members and choose Import members. Choose CSV file (or paste the sheet), then Preview import. Timeo matches the columns, flags rows it cannot read, and matches people you already have by email, then phone. Nothing is saved until you confirm the plan.
- Build your timetable under Class templates, so classes appear on the Class schedule and members can book them in the Timeo member app.
- Connect your own Stripe account for auto-renewing plans. Saved cards stay with PushPress, so members add a card again.
Saved cards and workout history do not transfer. If you would rather not do it yourself, our team can run the import and set up services as part of hands-on setup, which is quoted separately. Paying yearly gets 14 months for the price of 12.
