We built Rovari so owners and staff can keep memberships, billing, visits, retail, and follow-up together as they run a gym, studio, or school.
A family shares a membership, then needs separate billing. You need to agree the new prices and keep each person’s member record.
Staff review who each payer will cover and the prices for the next billing period. The current payer approves the change; the new payer accepts their price and adds a card. Member records stay in place, and earlier bills stay with the original account.
Some members book a class. Others come in to use the gym floor. Your front desk needs to check both kinds of visit against the member’s access.
Rovari records class attendance and general visits without a class booking. The countertop check-in station needs an internet connection and staff supervision. It does not control doors for unstaffed entry.
Someone asks about joining. A staff member needs to take responsibility for the reply, with a record of contact so the next person can pick up the work.
Rovari gives staff an assigned follow-up list. Record calls and emails made outside Rovari against the follow-up. Member conversations have their own inbox. Automated outreach and marketing campaigns need a separate tool.
Check the features and costs for your member count, country, and plan.

WellnessLiving’s fitness software combines scheduling, client management, payments, reporting, and marketing tools. Its Explorer directory helps consumers discover listed businesses.[11, 12]
The lower Business and BusinessPro introductory prices last two months. Annual prices differ. Confirm currency, ongoing terms, and app, messaging, or processing costs.[13]
Use the same cases and requirements with every vendor, including Rovari.
Bring one difficult case from your business: a household split, a pause across a paid period, or a declined renewal. Ask to see the complete outcome, including member access and the next invoice.
Compare the ongoing subscription at your actual member and location count, required add-ons, processing rates and fixed fees, messaging allowances, setup costs, and contract or cancellation terms.
Check which records you can move in and out, who must add a card again, and when the old system stops charging. Try a sample export and check the first bills before moving everyone.
Confirm the country, currency, payment methods, door hardware, and specialist features your business needs. Ask to see the specific tasks your team handles before choosing a platform.
