GetGymPOS vs Square for gyms
Square is an excellent general-purpose POS with free and low-cost plans and its own payment processing, but it has no dedicated gym membership, check-in or class-pack module. GetGymPOS is built for gyms: memberships with renewals, class packs, attendance, trainer commission and retail, with card payments through the processor you choose.
