Run your gym.
Not spreadsheets.
MatConnect handles member check-in, belt progression, scheduling, and billing — so you can stay on the mats instead of behind a desk.
Everything your gym needs
Built specifically for martial arts schools — not watered down from generic gym software.
Automated outreach
Email and SMS workflows triggered by inactivity, birthdays, trial expiry, failed payments, and promotions — plus automated waiver reminders.
Reports & churn scoring
Track MRR, attendance trends, belt distribution, and member growth. Every active member gets a 0–100 churn risk score with plain-English reasons — so you know who to reach out to before they quit.
RFID wristband check-in
Perfect for kids classes — students tap a wristband at the door to check in automatically, no app or PIN needed. The active class is detected on the fly, and milestones are flagged the moment they're hit.
Integrated billing & POS
Stripe and Square subscriptions, an in-person card terminal, a point of sale for gear and day passes, and automatic retries on failed payments.
Owner dashboard
Log in and see what needs attention today — check-ins, revenue, and today's schedule, plus at-risk members, past-due accounts, and leads sitting in the pipeline, all in one view.
Self-service kiosk
Members check in on any tablet — no staff required. New students can sign up and sign waivers on the spot.
Member management
Full profiles with photos, contact info, family accounts, waiver history, and attendance records in one place.
Belt progression & curriculum
Set class, time, and technique requirements per rank, build week-by-week lesson plans, and let members track their own progress toward the next belt.
Class scheduling
Recurring classes, one-offs, instructor assignment, and live rosters — with booking, waitlists, and automatic waitlist promotion.
Member portal
Members get their own login to book classes, see their schedule and attendance, follow the curriculum, and track belt progress — with web push notifications.
Lead capture & trials
Embed a lead form on your site, manage prospects in a pipeline, and run trials with automatic trial-expiry follow-ups to turn visitors into members.
Built-in gym website
Publish a public website for your gym in minutes — hero, schedule, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, and Google Maps, all pulled live from your MatConnect data. Edit in a side-by-side preview with preset themes.
WordPress & Elementor
Already on WordPress? Drop MatConnect blocks directly onto any page — schedule, pricing, lead form, testimonials, and FAQ — using Gutenberg blocks, shortcodes, or Elementor widgets.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
What is MatConnect?
MatConnect is all-in-one management software built for BJJ and martial arts schools. It handles member check-in, profiles, belt progression, class scheduling, billing, automated marketing, churn risk scoring, and a built-in public website — so you can spend less time on admin and more time coaching.
How long does setup take?
Most schools are up and running in a day. A setup wizard walks you through adding your gym details, building your class schedule, configuring belts, and inviting staff. There are no mandatory onboarding calls and no IT work required.
Can I switch from my current software?
Yes. If you're on Square today, you can import your customers, subscriptions, and payment history directly. Moving from another platform is straightforward too — reach out and we'll help you bring your members, plans, and waivers over.
Which payment processors do you support?
Both Stripe and Square. You can run recurring memberships, sell gear and day passes through the point of sale, and take in-person payments with a Square Terminal card reader. Use whichever processor you already have and keep your own rates.
Do members get their own login?
Yes. Every member gets a portal where they can book classes, view their schedule and attendance, follow the curriculum, and track their progress toward the next belt — plus opt-in push notifications for reminders and waitlist spots. It runs in any browser; a native mobile app is on the roadmap.
Does MatConnect include a website for my gym?
Yes. Every account gets a public gym website hosted under your MatConnect URL — with a hero section, live class schedule, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, Google Maps, and social links, all pulled from your account data. You edit it in a side-by-side preview with preset themes. If you already have a WordPress site, you can also drop MatConnect blocks directly onto any page using Gutenberg blocks or Elementor widgets.
How does churn risk scoring work?
MatConnect calculates a 0–100 risk score for every active member based on six signals: days since last check-in, whether training frequency is dropping compared to last month, payment status, trial ending with low engagement, belt progression stalled, and slow start for new members. Each score comes with plain-English reasons — so you can see at a glance who needs a call, not just a list of absent names.
What hardware do I need for the kiosk?
Just a tablet with a web browser. Mount it at your door and members tap in themselves — new students can sign up and sign their waiver on the spot. If you run kids classes, an optional RFID wristband reader lets students check in with a tap instead — no app or PIN required.
Does it track belt progression?
Yes — it's built for martial arts. Set the class, time-in-rank, and technique requirements for each belt, build week-by-week curriculum and lesson plans, and let members see exactly how close they are to their next promotion.
How does billing work for families?
Link parents and children into a single family account, and apply an automatic family discount across their memberships. Failed payments are retried automatically, and at-risk and past-due members are flagged for follow-up.
Is there a free trial or a contract?
Pro plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and there are no setup fees. Billing is month to month — cancel any time.
Can MatConnect manage multiple locations?
Today MatConnect is built for a single school. Multi-location support for academies and affiliates is on the roadmap — if you're running more than one location, get in touch and we'll talk through your timeline.
