SWITCHING

Moving from ABC Glofox to StudioFly.

A realistic plan, step by step. Nothing here needs to happen in a hurry.

  1. Export what you have

    In Glofox, download the client list as a CSV from Manage > Clients > Actions > Download, and download transactions, including sales tax data, as a CSV from the Transactions report (help center, checked 25 Sep 2026). On multi-location accounts, the ABC Insights All Customers report exports customers across every location. Reconcile active memberships, remaining credits and balances separately. The Terms of Use renew the agreement unless 30 days’ written notice is given, and say Glofox will use reasonable efforts to deliver your data within 60 days after termination once outstanding fees, including its off-boarding fee, are paid; get your exports before access ends. (Sources 42, 11, 40, 5, checked 25–26 Sep 2026.)

  2. Set up StudioFly

    Create your class types, recurring classes, membership plans, packs and staff roles, so the structure is ready before members arrive.

  3. Import your members

    Bring member records across with a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) import, and check the imported records before you use them.

  4. Plan payments

    Saved cards and recurring payments usually can’t be moved between payment providers, so connect your PayPal business account and plan how members will pay their next fee through PayPal.

  5. Choose a switch date

    Pick a quiet week, tell members the date and what changes for them, and move bookings over on that day. How long it takes depends on your member count, your plans and how much history you move.

Want to talk through your own setup?

Let’s have a conversation
How much does Glofox cost in the US?

Glofox’s FAQ page says plans start “as low as $99USD/month per location”, billed monthly or annually. The plans page, viewed from India on 26 Sep 2026, shows “$99 per month” as a starting price, with Essential, Boost and Elite on “Request Pricing”. Payment-processing fees are set in each Order Form, so ask for the plan, add-ons and processing rates together. (Sources 1, 4, 5, checked 26 Sep 2026.)

Can members pay by ACH or card in person with Glofox?

Glofox’s billing page lists credit, debit, ACH and digital wallets across the website, member app and point of sale, with a POS device for the front desk, and Glofox Payments runs on Stripe. Processing rates are not listed on the plans or billing pages as of 26 Sep 2026. In StudioFly, Stripe isn’t available, so there’s no ACH bank debit or card terminal; members pay online through PayPal on your own PayPal business account (Pro and Enterprise). (Sources 6, 1, checked 26 Sep 2026; source 7, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

Does Glofox send text messages to members?

Yes. Booking reminders go by email and SMS 24 hours before, SMS is paid by credits in packages arranged through the onboarding manager or customer service, and two-way SMS is on Boost and Elite for locations in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. StudioFly doesn’t send text messages (SMS); member messages go by WhatsApp and email. (Sources 12, 13, 14, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

What are Glofox’s contract terms?

The Terms of Use (effective 1 Mar 2023) renew the agreement for the renewal term in your Order Form unless you give 30 days’ written notice; with no term in the Order Form, it runs month-to-month. Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable and can rise at each renewal on 30 days’ notice, although the plans page says the monthly price is “locked for life”. Glofox’s FAQ page offers monthly or annual terms. (Sources 5, 1, 4, checked 26 Sep 2026.)

Is Glofox now ABC Glofox?

ABC Fitness Solutions announced its agreement to acquire Glofox on 2 Aug 2022, and an ABC affiliate completed the acquisition on 25 Aug 2022; the product is now sold as ABC Glofox. On 27 Jul 2026 ABC Fitness announced it had acquired Replify, the agentic AI platform that powers ABC AI Agents. (Sources 43, 44, 45, checked 26 Sep 2026; source 33, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

Can clients book a duo or semi-private session themselves?

Glofox’s Semi-Private PT takes two or more clients, but it is set to private, so staff must book every client. StudioFly has private-session packages, including duo packages where two clients train together, and members book trainers’ open slots. (Source 23, checked 25 Sep 2026.)
