When ABC integrations matter
- 01
UK or Irish boutique fitness studios
Glofox targets UK and Irish fitness boutiques and connects into the ABC Fitness portfolio. Junocal supports the same independent class formats without the quote-led stack, bundled payments, or annual-contract default.
- 02
Multi-location operations with ABC Fitness integration needs
Running multiple locations and want integration with the broader ABC Fitness ecosystem (ClubReady, etc.)? Glofox-as-ABC has depth here.
- 03
Studios already on the ABC Fitness platform stack
Migrating from another ABC platform or coordinating with a fitness chain that uses ABC? Staying inside the ecosystem makes operational sense.
Questions
How much does Glofox cost?
Glofox publishes plans starting at $99/month. Essential, Boost and Elite are displayed, but a buyer must request the current price for higher configurations. Compare a dated written proposal that includes locations, onboarding, selected services, processing and renewal terms.
Who owns Glofox?
Glofox was acquired by ABC Fitness Solutions in August 2022 (agreement signed July 2022). ABC Fitness Solutions is a Thoma Bravo portfolio company. The acquisition integrated Glofox into the broader ABC Fitness platform stack alongside ClubReady and other fitness-software brands.
What's Glofox best at?
Glofox is known for fitness-studio scheduling and its integration into the ABC Fitness portfolio. Junocal covers independent HIIT, cycling, strength, pilates, yoga, and mixed-class studios with transparent pricing, direct Stripe ownership, equipment booking, terms, adaptive intake, and no annual-contract default.
Does Glofox charge marketplace commission?
Glofox doesn't run a consumer marketplace like Mindbody or Momence. The ABC Fitness ecosystem brings some cross-promotion mechanics but no equivalent of the Mindbody app's per-booking commission on attributed clients.
What's the payment processing setup on Glofox?
Glofox uses bundled processing — the platform sits in the payment relationship rather than the studio holding a direct Stripe (or equivalent) account. The effective rate is typically a few tenths of a percent above direct rates. When you leave Glofox, the payment history belongs to the platform's relationship rather than to you directly.
Are there annual contracts on Glofox?
Standard Glofox contracts run 12 months with auto-renewal. Some tiers offer multi-year terms with discounts. The cancellation window before auto-renewal is 30-60 days. As with other PE-backed platforms, the auto-renewal price may differ from the initial-term price.
Should pilates studios use Glofox?
Glofox can run pilates studios but isn't optimised for pilates patterns. Pick-a-spot for reformer is supported but the floor-plan editor and reformer-specific workflows are less mature than Mariana Tek or Junocal. For pilates-led studios, Junocal at £15-£69/month is a better fit than Glofox above its $99 Essential tier. For mixed fitness-plus-pilates studios, the comparison is more nuanced.
What's the total annual cost of Glofox for a typical studio?
Use (monthly proposal × 12) + onboarding + selected services + payment costs. Glofox's published floor is $99 × 12 = $1,188/year. Junocal Studio is $29 × 12 = $348/year and Junocal Growth is $69 × 12 = $828/year, before standard Stripe processing.
For pilates and yoga specifically
Glofox covers pilates and yoga but isn't optimised for them. Junocal at £15 Starter / £29 Studio / £69 Growth is built for pilates and yoga — pick-a-spot, term-based courses, conditional intake — at a meaningfully lower all-in cost. Independent and operator-friendly.
