The Problem

When Zen Planner Runs Your Gym but Not Your Website or Books

Zen Planner integrations usually come up when you switch systems, your website still shows an old timetable, and SugarWOD, email, and QuickBooks each hold a different member list.

  1. Switching

    Your old system's member export doesn't fit Zen Planner.

    Switching

    We map people, memberships, attendance, and ranks into Zen Planner's import sheets.

  2. SugarWOD

    Members reserve in two apps, so class counts disagree.

    SugarWOD

    SugarWOD syncs from Zen Planner, with class settings fixed so reservations match.

  3. Website

    The schedule page is an old PDF timetable.

    Website

    Zen Planner's class calendar widget shows the live schedule on your site.

  4. Books

    Membership revenue gets keyed into QuickBooks by hand.

    Books

    Zen Planner's QuickBooks connection is set up and checked with your bookkeeper.

You're moving to Zen Planner next month, and your old system exports members in a format nobody recognizes. Your coaches post the WOD in SugarWOD, but some members reserve in one app and some in the other. The website schedule is a PDF from last season. Trial sign-ups land in an inbox instead of arriving in Zen Planner as prospects. And your bookkeeper still keys membership revenue into QuickBooks by hand.

We start with the member record. Your people, memberships, attendance, and ranks go into Zen Planner's import format with your onboarding coach, so history comes along. Then SugarWOD syncs members, and the class calendar and lead form widgets go on your site, so trial sign-ups arrive as prospects. QuickBooks and email connect last, so each tool works from one clean member list instead of three messy ones.

  • Members moved with history

    People, memberships, attendance, and ranks prepared in Zen Planner's import format with your onboarding coach.

  • Class calendar on your site

    Zen Planner's schedule and lead form widgets on your website, so trial sign-ups land as prospects.

  • SugarWOD, email, and books synced

    SugarWOD, Mailchimp or Engage, and QuickBooks working from the same Zen Planner member list.

Our Zen Planner Integration Process

From Systems Review to Synced Members in Five Steps

You approve the member import, billing dates, and widget placement, and you test a class reservation in Zen Planner and SugarWOD before members see anything.

  1. We look at where members, classes, payments, and workouts live today, and what your old system can export. You get a plan for the import, the widgets, and each connection, including what Zen Planner covers natively.

What's Included

What You Get With Zen Planner Integration Services for Wellness Businesses

Most gyms need the website widgets, SugarWOD, and email connected. Gyms switching systems add the member import and billing move, and multi-location owners add API scoping and reporting.

  • Class calendar and sign-up widgets

    Zen Planner's schedule, sign-up, and lead form widgets placed on your website and styled to fit.

  • Member import sheets

    People, memberships, attendance, and ranks prepared in Zen Planner's format for your onboarding coach.

  • SugarWOD connection

    Members synced to SugarWOD, coach access set, and class settings fixed so reservations line up.

  • Payment processing plan

    Card and ACH members moved to your chosen processor, with billing dates you approve first.

  • Email and lead follow-up

    Mailchimp or Zen Planner Engage connected, so trial sign-ups get a welcome sequence on time.

  • QuickBooks connection

    Zen Planner's QuickBooks link set up and checked against a month of membership revenue.

DeveloperLook vs Onboarding Alone vs a Web Designer

Zen Planner's onboarding coach is free and knows the software well. A web designer can place widgets nicely but won't touch imports or billing. Here's where each one holds up.

Projects We've Built

Gym membership apps and sites, a yoga app, and an attendance app we designed and built. None ran on Zen Planner, but each kept members, classes, and check-ins in sync.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built membership sites and apps for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Gym Owners Trust Us With Zen Planner

A bad import or a missed billing date costs members fast. These habits keep our Zen Planner integration services careful with member data and easy to hand over.

  • Zen Planner's own tools first

    We use Zen Planner's widgets, SugarWOD link, and onboarding help before anything custom. If its widget code already covers your case, we'll tell you before we quote.

  • Member data moved with consent

    Imports follow your members' consent and billing terms. We move only what your contracts allow, and we keep a record of every file we touch.

  • Billing dates you approve

    Nobody gets charged on a surprise date. You approve every billing date and processor change before the first payment runs in Zen Planner.

  • Straight talk on the API

    Zen Planner's API is partner-gated through Daxko. We say so upfront and start with widgets, Zapier, and exports, so nothing waits on an approval.

  • Your logins stay yours

    We work through staff access you grant in Zen Planner, SugarWOD, and your website. You keep every account, and we hand access back at the end.

  • Guides your coaches use

    You get a short guide to every widget, sync, and setting. Coaches can fix a class setting without opening a support ticket.

Good fit

  • Boxes switching to Zen Planner

    You're moving your CrossFit box from another system and need a Zen Planner import members CSV file that keeps memberships, attendance, and ranks intact.

  • CrossFit gyms using SugarWOD

    Your coaches post WODs in SugarWOD, and members reserve classes in both apps. You want Zen Planner and SugarWOD syncing members and reservations properly.

  • Martial arts and yoga studios

    Your studio website still shows a PDF timetable. You want the Zen Planner calendar widget live on the schedule page, so members book from it.

  • Owners comparing payment options

    You're weighing Zen Planner payment processing against your current processor and need a move that keeps card and ACH members billing on time.

  • Multi-location wellness businesses

    You run several studios on Daxko Zen Planner and need sign-ups, emails, and books set up the same way at every location.

Not a fit

  • One widget, budget under $700

    Your budget is under $700 and you only need one class schedule widget on one page. Zen Planner's own widget code covers that, and we'll tell you before we quote.

  • Studio runs on Mindbody

    Your studio runs on Mindbody, not Zen Planner, and you aren't switching. Our Mindbody website integration page covers that system instead.

  • Want a custom member portal

    You want your own membership and billing portal instead of gym software. Our gym membership software and recurring billing portals page covers custom builds.

  • Need open API access now

    You need a Zen Planner API sync running this month without Daxko's approval. API access is partner-gated, so a Zapier or export route is the realistic start.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on what Zen Planner is, how it works, pricing, QuickBooks, apps, email, member imports, and the API.

  • Zen Planner is gym and studio management software from Daxko, used by CrossFit boxes, martial arts schools, yoga studios, and gyms. It handles memberships, class schedules, billing, attendance, and a member app in one system. Daxko Zen Planner says more than 5,000 fitness businesses use it, as of October 2026.

  • Staff set up memberships, classes, and billing in Zen Planner, then members book, check in, and pay through the Member App or the website widgets. Coaches take attendance in the Staff App or at a check-in kiosk. Owners run reports and send emails from the same system, so the member record stays in one place.

  • DeveloperLook's Zen Planner integrations start at $700: website widgets, SugarWOD, welcome emails, and sign-up tracking for a gym already on Zen Planner. A switch-in with a member import, a payments plan, and a QuickBooks check starts at $1,950. Up to 3 locations or partner API work starts at $4,150. Zen Planner bills its own plan separately.

  • Widgets, SugarWOD, and email for a gym already on Zen Planner take 1 to 2 weeks. A switch-in with a member import takes 3 to 5 weeks, mostly because exports need cleaning and billing dates need your approval. Multi-location setups follow the same steps for each location, run side by side.

  • Zen Planner prices by active members. Its pricing page lists the Studio plan from $99 per month for up to 45 active members, as of October 2026. Essentials adds a website, and Ultimate adds Zen Planner Engage. Billing adjusts monthly as your member count changes, and contracts run month to month.

  • Yes. Zen Planner says it integrates with QuickBooks for automated financial record-keeping, and its help center covers the setup under partner integrations. We connect it, then check a month of membership revenue with your bookkeeper, because a mismatched income account is easier to fix before your first close.

  • Yes, two. The free Member App lets members book classes, check in, join waitlists, pay bills, and log workouts and PRs. The Staff App handles attendance, retail sales, and payment alerts, and Kiosk Mode turns a tablet into self check-in. A Branded App with your gym's name costs $39 per month, per Zen Planner.

  • You send emails from Zen Planner's built-in templates to members picked from a report, and you can set up automated messages. Zen Planner Engage adds automated email and text campaigns for leads and members. If you already use Mailchimp, Zen Planner lists it as an integration, so we connect whichever tool you keep.

  • Your onboarding coach sends Zen Planner's format sheets, and you fill them from your old system's export. Imports cover people, memberships, attendance, payment data, and workout results, and members re-enter cards only if card data isn't imported. We clean the export, map each field, and spot-check records before go-live.

  • Yes, but access is partner-gated. Daxko's partner docs list a Zen Planner API and ask you to contact a Daxko sales representative for access. Until access is approved, we start with Zapier, which Zen Planner lists as an integration, or with scheduled exports, so your project isn't stuck waiting.
