Glofox (now ABC Glofox) targets boutique fitness with a branded app and clean interface. But annual contracts, opaque pricing (no public pricing page — you need a sales call), and the acquisition by ABC Fitness (a private equity group) have pushed some studios to look elsewhere.
Common reasons studios leave Glofox
- Annual contracts — locked in for 12 months, even if the platform does not fit.
- Pricing opacity — no public pricing means you negotiate blind.
- Custom development costs — app customisation beyond basic branding often requires paid development.
- Support quality — post-acquisition, some studios report slower support response times.
