Exposure Basketball Software Review

Exposure Basketball is a youth tournament and league management system delivering online scheduling, a schedule conflict checker, live results, apps, registration management, a free directory, live-streaming, scoresheet, in-game analytics, and more.

Its focus is solely on the management of youth basketball leagues and games and all necessary organizational needs that those games require.

Exposure Basketball vs Exercise.com

There are very few aspects that Exposure Basketball and Exercise.com have in common. Among them are a scheduling function, mobile apps, and notifications. However, Exposure Basketball is specifically a youth basketball tournament and team management system and does not encompass any fitness-specific features.

Exercise.com can encompass a much larger range of services. This gives fitness businesses, with any number of different focuses, the ability to use the software as an all-in-one medium for their needs.

Because Exposure Basketball is built to create and manage youth basketball events only, it cannot supply a user with the ability to run a fitness business using their software alone. This is not the case with Exercise.com. Our software can be used for some of the same functions as Exposure Basketball but has a broader range of other functions to cater to a more diverse group of fitness businesses.

Moving forward in this article, we will be taking a more specific look at individual aspects of both software platforms.

Unless otherwise stated, all images and reviews below are of/about Exercise.com’s All-In-One Fitness Business Management software platform.

Fitness Business Management Software

Functionality, ease of use, and price are a few of the most important components you should look for in a software platform to manage your fitness business. You want a program that is easy to use by your employees, meets the needs of your facility, the services you offer, and helps streamline the day-to-day running of your business, while also being a platform that can grow along with your company.

Exercise.com checks all of these boxes and more. Our software platform allows you to easily schedule appointments or classes, take payments, customize your website, create custom workouts, generate reports, run quality assessments, and connect with your members to keep them engaged in your business.

When you have a program that can manage all aspects of your business and grow and adapt with you, there is no end to the potential growth your business will see. The Exercise.com software can handle whatever you decide to throw at it and does so in an efficient and easy to use manner.

Client/Class Scheduling

Unfortunately for users looking to book classes, schedule training, or communicate with members through planned workouts, Exposure Basketball is unable to provide that function. What they can do is book games within their leagues by creating a full schedule within a matter of minutes using their drag and drop grid interface or auto-scheduling feature, however, their scheduling abilities end there.

Exercise.com, on the other hand, can do that and more. The platform allows for the scheduling of personal training sessions and group workouts while tailoring these communications according to location and staff members.

Members can view upcoming classes, sign up, pay, and even purchase add ons like one-on-one sessions with a trainer, all through Exercise.com’s online and app platforms.

Gym/Facility Management

Businesses cannot be sustained or successful unless they are profitable. While this may sound like an obvious statement, it is an important consideration when choosing software to help manage your company.

While Exposure Basketball is great for any user wanting to run a basketball tournament or league, its abilities stop at league and game management. They cannot support the day-to-day of a fitness facility including staff management, class scheduling, membership sales, personal training management, sales, or reporting to name a few.

For example, a fitness business may want to run a report to see which class times bring in more revenue. Upon running that report, the owner finds the morning and nighttime classes have almost double the number of attendees than the midday class. Because of this, the owner will want to cancel or replace the midday class. Such reporting cannot be done using the Exposure Basketball software.

Client Automation

Keeping in touch with your members and clients is important for retention. Exposure Basketball’s only form of communication is through their mobile app, social media, or online event listing. Thus, limiting the amount of communication users can have with their players. Exercise.com, on the other hand, can communicate using automation. Here are a few examples:

  • Automatic Emails and Texts/Other Automatic Features
  • Highlight Exercise.com
  • Automate Workout Delivery
  • Automate Resource Delivery
  • Automate Assessment Delivery
  • Automate Reminders/Alerts via app, text, and email

Dedicated Zapier Support

At Exercise.com, we provide our clients with a plethora of integrations – but, sometimes, you want a bit of a boost. Our partnership with Zapier includes dedicated Zapier support to help you through every step of the process. With over 2,000 apps to choose from, you can rest assured that your company’s website is as efficient and user-friendly as possible.

Dedicated Account Manager

At Exercise.com, we take customer service very seriously; which is why we provide our clients with a dedicated account manager to help them through every step of the process – indefinitely.

If you want to redesign your website, your account manager will get it done. If you want to set up an e-commerce store, your account manager won’t blink twice. Whatever you need, our world-class dev team will come through. From the mundane to the complex, we have you covered.

Customized Software

A business’s software should be unique to the individual company. That is why Exercise.com provides you with customization at no added cost. This means you will not be forced to navigate or conform to someone else’s platform. Instead, you can customize our software for what works for you, using your logo, and only highlighting features your company needs while never making you pay for features you won’t use.

When speaking of Exposure Basketball, there is no ability to customize their software for your use. Its purpose is to use their platform to create and edit upcoming basketball events while maintaining communication with coaches, players, and families. While its walkthrough features are easy to use, it is not something you can add or edit for your personal business use.

Custom-Branded

In addition to a customized software function, Exercise.com allows you to put your brand at the forefront of your website, training videos, email communications, and mobile app. There is no additional fee for these services as everything about your experience with Exercise.com is included in one low price. This means any trace of the Exercise.com logo or colors can be replaced by your colors and themes.

Exposure Basketball does not give the user the ability to customize their site for your use. Their branding comes along with each tournament you create and carries over to the link created once set up is complete.

iOS & Android Apps

Both Exercise.com and Exposure Basketball offer the use of mobile apps on both the iOS and Android platforms. However, as stated above, only Exercise.com provides you with full customization and branding of your app.

Websites

Exposure Basketball does not build custom websites for their customers, however, a landing page is created for every event booked. After an event is created, an event website is created on Exposure Basketball Events. The event website is automatically submitted to their tournament directory and includes details, divisions, venues, scores, teams, documents, payments, and registration.

Exercise.com, on the other hand, does all the work for you. Once you have decided on the customized features you would like on your site, our highly rated development team goes to work. Whatever you want or need, as a business owner, will be provided for you by our team. We want to create the best experience possible for you and your customers.

Here are a few of the features included in our custom websites:

  • Responsive
  • SEO optimized
  • Unlimited theme changes
  • Built to convert visitors to leads
  • Custom graphic work
  • Google Certified Partner
Security Features

Exercise.com is committed to keeping your and your customers’ information safe at all times. We have added features to our software to make sure that security is never an issue for your business.

Here are a few of the security features provided by Exercise.com:

  • SSL Secure
  • Privacy Shield Framework
  • Google Cloud

Exposure Basketball, being a sports league creation tool, doesn’t offer this suite of security features, however, they do guarantee that once your league or tournament has been created, they secure that link as untouchable by other users.

Marketing Integrations

Growing your business means promoting your services. Marketing integrations are a necessary tool to boost your business and increase revenue.

Exposure Basketball does not offer any type of marketing or marketing integrations. The most a user can do to spread news about their leagues is through social media or via the link that can be copied into an email in addition to their mobile app.

Exercise.com comes with endless possibilities for growth due to the integrations we offer with our marketing tools. These customized integrations allow you to advertise, engage, and promote your business to facilitate both membership growth and retention. These user-friendly features help foster growth and increase member retention.

Some of our more popular integrations include:

  • MailChimp
  • ConstantContact
  • ConvertKit
  • Zapier
  • Google Analytics
  • Facebook Pixel

Workout Software

Being there for your clients through the course of their individual fitness journeys is important to client and member retention in the fitness industry. You want to be able to connect with them in a variety of ways to help them become successful while also providing income for your business. One way to do this is to offer workout software.

Exposure Basketball does not offer a workout portion within its software. So, rather than comparing this element, we will tell you what Exercise.com has to offer.

Workout Creator/Logger

Creating and scheduling workouts for your clients ahead of time will save you time and money while providing your clients with unique workout plans. Exercise.com has a built-in workout creator that allows you to design custom and pre-built workouts, save them, and share them with your members with the click of a mouse.

It is also important, for the success of your clients, to be able to track their progress. Clients can log their weights, repetitions, workout frequency, and more to keep track of where they started and how far they’ve come. All the details are viewable by their trainer so all parties are up to date and workouts can continue to challenge the client while helping them grow closer to reaching their fitness goals.

Our workout creator/logger provides users with endless possibilities for delivering workouts, tips, and encouragement to clients in any scenario, including:

1-1 Training

One-on-one personal training is one of the most popular aspects of any fitness business. Using our software, trainers can connect with their clients on an individual level by scheduling workouts, communicating through the app and alerts, and tracking progress. Personal training requires a connection between trainer and client, and our software helps facilitate and foster that connection.

Group Training

When a group of like-minded individuals joins together to work towards their fitness goals in a group setting, oftentimes, they end up being more successful than going at it on their own. Group training is a great way to create excitement, stir up buzz, and incorporate some healthy competition.

Exercise.com’s software is just as accessible for groups as it is for individuals. Workouts can be created, scheduled, and tracked with ease.

Online Training

In an increasingly digital world, the popularity of online training is on the rise. Exercise.com is a platform that will always keep up with the times and trends in the fitness world. They do this by allowing you to send workouts to anyone, anywhere, and anytime while never breaking communication.

Some clients are unable to show up during scheduled hours while others don’t feel comfortable training in person. Rather than allow those clients to fall off track, Exercise.com provides numerous ways to keep them in line and feel valued while showcasing your abilities as a business.

Exercise Library

Again, Exposure Basketball does not offer a specific workout platform in their software, so it would make sense that they also do not have an exercise library. This is not the case with Exercise.com.

While many software companies provide fitness businesses with pre-built workouts that can be sent to clients, Exercise.com offers an opportunity to design your library how you want. Rather than miss out on the opportunity to connect with your clients by giving them a generic workout, you can engage your followers with workouts designed specifically for them.

Custom Exercises

The fitness market is saturated with written, picture, and video workouts from trainers all over the world. Unfortunately, these trainers, no matter how well-known, are still strangers. With Exercise.com, you can customize and upload videos of exercises by the trainers at your location. This makes your members’ experience more personal while also boosting marketing for your company.

TV Workouts

Aside from providing clients with the ability to watch demos of the exercises you’ve sent them within their workout plans, gyms can use the exercise library as well as a great way to cast exercise demos onto gym television screens during group classes or one-on-one training sessions.

This is a great way to provide that “personal touch” so many people look for when choosing a gym.

E-Commerce Software

Exposure Basketball utilizes a few different methods of accepting payments for team and player entry into your tournaments and leagues.  Those options are ExposurePay (2.8% + 25¢), Stripe, PayPay, Authorize.NET, and more.

Exercise.com lets you customize the way you accept payments. Your fitness business may sell products such as water bottles, tee shirts, and smoothies in addition to the training services you provide. Our software is capable of taking any type of payment you need for your business.

Payment Processing

Exercise.com utilizes Stripe for payment processing. Using Stripe, you can accept single payments for an item or service, send monthly bills and invoices, sell packages of products or services, or combine any number of these into a single monthly bill for your customers. This is another area where Exercise.com’s customization offerings make complete sense for the needs of your fitness business.

Exposure Basketball also enables the utilization of Stripe among other third-party apps at an additional price point for each.

Sell Products

Between Exercise.com and Exposure Basketball, Exercise.com is the only software that provides you with e-commerce capabilities to sell products online. But, that is not all. Exercise.com goes the extra mile and provides users with the ability to sell extras such as the items listed below.

Sell Workout Plans

Personal training is a valuable service for a fitness business, but it might not be suitable for every member. Some members don’t feel comfortable working with a trainer in a one-on-one or group setting while some members feel it’s a luxury they cannot afford. And in other cases, scheduling is impossible to fit into a busy gym member’s day.

In these situations, creating and selling customized workout plans is the answer to all these needs and more.

With Exercise.com’s software, you can provide customized or pre-built workouts for members of your gym to purchase. This is mutually beneficial because your members can utilize a workout created by a professional and your business can charge for this service. There are endless possibilities such as a workout of the day, monthly training programs, or specific targeted workouts.

Gym owners and their trainers have the freedom to create whatever type of workout they want to sell. Your business benefits from the added revenue and your members benefit from the quality workouts they are purchasing.

Offer Online Workout Memberships

Some clients are looking for a customized training experience without having to meet a trainer in person. Those clients are often willing to pay an additional price for customized delivered workouts.

Exercise.com meets this need through our automated workout delivery. The trainer responsible for creating a client’s program can create an entire workout plan all at once on their own time. The trainer then schedules an automated delivery for each workout directly to their client. Getting everything done in one shot is much more efficient and it allows your trainers to take on more clients. All they have to do, once workouts are created and sent, is to monitor their clients’ progress and success.

Sell Workout Challenges

Word of mouth is one of the most powerful and effective marketing tools available to businesses today. Every fitness business loves it when its members spread the buzz about challenges going on in the club and one way to do this is by selling workout challenges.

When people come together for a specific goal or friendly competition, a sense of community is an automatic result. Members working out and competing together garner excitement and members will want to share that excitement with friends and family.

Similar to the individual training workouts available for purchase, Exercise.com also enables trainers and owners to sell group workout challenges available to a numbered amount of members to take part in. It’s a great way to create buzz around the weight room, bring your members together, market your location, and increase revenue.

Performance Health Software

Part of being a great trainer or fitness business owner is establishing a fitness baseline for your clients then creating a way for them to reach their goals and establish a new baseline. This baseline is normally established through performance health assessments. These assessments allow you to:

  • Provide in-depth body fitness measurements
  • Show comparisons to help clients create realistic goals
  • Motivate your clients as you track their progress
  • Show potential clients how your services can help them reach their fitness goals
  • Create leads and turn them into clients

Exposure Basketball, being a basketball league management tool, does not have a portion of their software that provides these functions.

With Exercise.com’s software, however, you can customize every aspect of your assessments to fit the needs of your clients and promote the mission of your business.

Assessments

As we mentioned above, providing customized assessments is a huge value to your business and your clients. Many fitness businesses offer various types of assessments to measure their members’ baseline levels, however, most lack detail, depth, or customization that is individual to each person going through the assessments.

It is much more beneficial for new members to complete an assessment that is based on their personal goals. A swimmer and a powerlifter, for example, are unlikely to benefit from the same assessment because they need to track different metrics to see progress. Exercise.com allows you to customize an assessment for every individual member.

Performance & Measurement Reports

Keeping your clients engaged and focused on their goals is important for retention. After all, no business wants to lose a client.

By giving your clients a performance report where they can see their progress pictures and statistics, you are showing them how your services have helped them toward meeting their fitness goals. When clients can see proof of their progress, they are more likely to remain a loyal member, spread news to others about their progress, and even add on additional services.

Nutrition

Any professional in the fitness industry would agree that nutrition is an equally important component to achieving fitness-related goals. That is why Exercise.com provides a way for clients to track their daily caloric intake which is available for trainers to view and track. This exclusive offering is just one of the many levels of accountability that the Exercise.com platform offers which adds even more value to your fitness business.

Exposure Basketball Software Pricing

Exposure Basketball pricing is expressed in terms of credits. A credit costs $2 and represents a single active team in each event. If you have an event with 15 teams then 15 credits ($30) are needed to publish a schedule. Exposure offers 5 free credits when you register to try out the platform.  All Exposure Basketball features are included when a schedule is published.

Exposure Basketball Software Competitors

Numerous software platforms supply similar services to Exposure Basketball. Take a glance at the table below to measure each competitor’s pricing and features:

The Bottom Line: Pros and Cons

After reading all of the details regarding what the Exercise.com platform can do for you, the choice for a software company that fits the needs of your fitness business is ultimately up to you. No one knows the needs and future goals of your business better than you do. Our motive is to give you all of the information you need so that you can decide how the goals of your business integrate with the functions of fitness business software options.

We believe that Exercise.com can help your business in whatever way you need. However, let’s take one final look at Exposure Basketball and Exercise.com

Exposure Basketball Cons

While Exposure Basketball has great scheduling, messaging, registration, and reporting features, they, in addition to their in-game stats, analytics, scoresheets, and ranking features, are all geared towards the running of basketball programs alone. This means the software platform, even in its entirety, cannot aid users in managing a fitness-specific business and everything that comes along with it.

Exercise.com Pros

If you’re looking for an all-in-one fitness business management software that will allow you to grow and manage your business with ease at a competitive price point, then Exercise.com should be your first and final choice.

Exercise.com builds your web and smartphone apps with your brand in mind. It’s not a simplistic, unbranded software platform. It’s your app, your software, and your brand front and center. So, if you’re looking for a platform rich in features to help bring your business success, let us know. Our world-class dev team has a proven track record of delivering software that just works.
