LeagueApps Software Review
LeagueApps is a sports management software that focuses on club teams, leagues, tournaments, facilities, camps, and clinics for youth and local sports teams and organizations. The features focus on revenue collection, program management, player and parent experience, growth, and control.
LeagueApps was founded in 2011 by the team that built Sportsvite.com. LeagueApps has a 4.4 rating out of 5.0 rating on Capterra and GetApp based on 49 reviews. The best ratings are on customer support and value for money with a bit lower ratings on features and ease of use.
LeagueApps vs Exercise.com
LeagueApps does not have all the features needed to successfully manage and grow a fitness business. It does have payment processing, websites, customization, mobile apps, and calendars/scheduling options but is missing the important workout creation and delivery options, performance health assessment features, and full reporting options. LeagueApps markets its software to sports teams, which is exactly the audience this software is most useful for.
Here’s where Exercise.com has you covered because we offer payment processing, calendars and scheduling, websites, and customizations features that LeagueApps offers, plus many others to help fitness businesses manage their day-to-day operations.

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
An all-in-one Fitness Business Management (FBM) software should have key features that provide all the features you need to successfully run and manage a business from your fingertips 24/7. Important FBM features include scheduling features, payment processing features, reporting, and alternate revenue streams.
LeagueApps does have features for calendars and scheduling, which is useful for sports teams to manage their events, competitions, and games. They also have payment processing, automation, and advanced reporting options available as well.
With Exercise.com, you will find an all-in-one software option that can be used by managers, staff, employees, clients, and members. The features are endless to grow and manage your fitness business in a way that makes managing or running a successful business possible for anyone.
Client/Class Scheduling
LeagueApps has calendar and schedule management for sports teams. Players and parents can register for events and view team and event schedules.
Exercise.com has features for class scheduling and calendars that would be useful for any fitness business. These features allow fitness professionals and personal trainers to set up availability on calendars and schedules so that clients and members can book and manage appointments, sessions, or classes from the mobile app or online dashboard. Clients can also get reminders and notifications for upcoming classes or appointments. Clients can sort calendars by trainer or location, as well as pay for classes or appointments directly from the mobile app or dashboard.
Gym/Facility Management
LeagueApps has features that are helpful for sports team management, but not for fitness business management. They allow users to streamline operations and let the technology do the work, utilizing automated tasks, flexible program management tools, advanced communications capabilities, and reporting. This is great for sports teams, but not useful for a fitness business looking to manage its administrative options.
Exercise.com provides options for generating reports on a variety of features, including revenue, classes, trainers, or other administrative reports. It’s also easy to set staff roles and permissions so each employee and staff member has access to the features they need.
Client Automation
LeagueApps has built-in automation to generate invoice reminders, online payments, registration notifications, program creation, and schedule changes.
Exercise.com includes email, text, and mobile app reminders, but also includes options to automate workout and assessment information. For example, Exercise.com allows trainers and fitness professionals to:
- Automate Workout Delivery
- Automate Resource Delivery
- Automate Assessment Delivery
Dedicated Zapier Support
Both LeagueApps and Exercise.com have Zapier integrations. This partnership with Zapier adds an exciting variety of extra options at your fingertips. Exercise.com gives clients a plethora of integrations – but, sometimes, you want a bit of a boost.
Our partnership with Zapier allows you to, in Zapier’s words, “Integrate (link your web apps with a few clicks, so that they can share data), Automate (pass info between your apps with workflows called Zaps), and Innovate (build processes faster and get more done – no code required).
Part of this partnership 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. Exercise.com maximizes this partnership with Zapier to give you all the integrations you need to successfully run and manage your fitness business.
Dedicated Account Manager
One feature that sets Exercise.com apart from many other fitness business management software companies is our dedication to customer service and support. This is why we provide our clients with a dedicated account manager to help them through every step of the process.
If you want to redesign your website, your account manager at Exercise.com 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 is there to help!
Customized Software
Your fitness business management software should be customized to your preferences to showcase your business. Your website and mobile apps may be the first look that a potential client or customer has of your business, so you want it to stand out. Customization allows consistency among your software online dashboard, mobile apps, website, social media, and any marketing efforts.
Custom-Branded
Your software should match your branding, logo, colors, and verbiage. This consistency is what customers will recognize and will enable you to build brand loyalty. LeagueApps offers assistance with building a personalized and mobile-friendly website using the preferred colors, fonts, logo, and background. The website will link to your LeagueApps registrations, scheduling, and event listings.
Exercise.com takes it a step further and offers full customization of mobile apps and websites. You will find the security features and marketing integrations to be helpful customizations to help you grow and manage your fitness business with Exercise.com.
iOS & Android Apps
LeagueApps provides options for a branded mobile app that integrates with and syncs with LeagueApps for use by parents, coaches, and athletes. The app is available in the Google Play (Android) and iOS (iPhones) stores.
Exercise.com has mobile apps for iOS and Android devices that include all of Exercise.com’s fitness business management features. Exercise.com also allows full customization of your mobile apps. Your clients and members can search for your business name in the iOS or Google Play store, not the name of a third-party app.
Websites
LeagueApps includes features for a professionally designed and personalized website. The website is mobile-ready and integrated with LeagueApps. It also offers safe, cloud-based hosting with automatic overnight backups and SSL certificate included.
The default web address for LeagueApps’s users will be a subdomain of leagueapps.com (eg. http://yourleague.leagueapps.com), but you can also use a custom domain name so your site will live at http://www.yourleague.com.
Exercise.com allows full customization of your website. The best features that are offered for websites include:
- Responsive

- SSL Secure
- Privacy Shield Framework
- Google Cloud
As mentioned, LeagueApps offers safe, cloud-based hosting with automatic overnight backups and SSL certificate included.

Workout Software
Every fitness business needs workout software that enables them to help clients meet their health and fitness goals, plus grow their business with additional revenue streams. This workout software should have all the options you need to create and share workouts, the ability to train any type of client, and extra options to make workouts fun and motivating.
LeagueApps focuses solely on sports team management, which means they have no workout software options. Exercise.com is clearly ahead of LeagueApps with its variety of workout software options for fitness professionals and personal trainers.
Workout Creator/Logger
Exercise.com has awesome workout creation and delivery features that any fitness professional will regularly use. Our workout creator/logger provides users with endless possibilities for delivering workouts, tips, and encouragement to clients in any scenario, including one-on-one training, group training, or online training.
1-1 Training
One-on-one personal training is still the foundation of many personal trainers’ business success. Exercise.com makes it easy to train with any type of client one-on-one. This setting allows trainers to create an effective workout plan and develop a positive environment that enables clients to reach their health and fitness goals.
Group Training
Personal trainers and fitness professionals might also find success with group training sessions. If group training is your focus, you can use any mobile device to create or view workouts with Exercise.com.
Trainers or group exercise instructors can follow along to stay on track when they are leading the class. Exercisers can view the workout plan if there are groups divided into smaller groups or taking the lead for certain parts of the workout. If you also have access to a television, you can show the workout plan broadcasted there.
For example, if you are leading a TRX training workout, you could have the workout pulled up on a few mobile devices around the room for either you to view or for the clients to work out with a partner. You can also broadcast the workout plan for everyone to see on the bigger television monitors.
Online Training
Online training is a great way to grow your business for a number of reasons. For one, you can train your current face-to-face clients if they are out of town on business or traveling on a vacation. Second, you can add new clients to your client base no matter where they are located. Third, it gives you more flexibility for training clients in a hybrid format, partially online and partially face-to-face.
Exercise.com works for you to allow you to train clients one-on-one, in groups, online, or hybrid. All of these options give you a ton of flexibility to maximize your time and revenue.
Exercise Library
Exercise.com includes an exercise library, which is an important component of any workout software. An exercise library includes instructions, descriptions, videos, photos, or tips that help exercisers understand how to complete an exercise or movement with good form and technique. This full exercise library includes options to build various workouts with intervals, sets, pyramids, supersets, or other functions.
Personal trainers and fitness professionals can use exercise libraries to design workouts and help their clients fully understand how to do an exercise correctly, what muscles are being worked, and tips to make the most of the exercise or movement.
LeagueApps does not have any features that allow users to create, access, or customize an exercise library.
Custom Exercises
Exercise.com allows you to add custom exercises so you have everything you need at your fingertips to design and deliver the most effective workouts for your clients to help them meet their health and fitness goals. You can add your own videos or photos featuring your staff and trainers.
TV Workouts
Exercise.com provides clients with the ability to watch demos of the exercises within their workout plans on television screens; gyms can also use the exercise library to cast exercise demos onto gym television screens during group classes or one-on-one training sessions. You can also stream the workout plan on a screen for group training sessions.
E-Commerce Software
E-commerce features are a key component of any fitness business management software. The e-commerce features provided by LeagueApps allow you to sell items during registration and include a custom store. You can manage new programs like private instruction, classes, tournaments, and clinics from one platform. There are no features to sell your own workout plans, workout challenges, or online memberships.
Exercise.com provides fitness businesses with e-commerce options to enhance or add additional revenue streams. Safe and secure payment processing, the ability to sell your retail or other products, and options to sell memberships, packages, or sessions. You can also sell workout challenges, membership plans, or workouts online.
Payment Processing
LeagueApps and Exercise.com both include payment processing options for safe and secure processing of credit cards online. LeagueApps has flexible payment plans, credit card storage, offline payment tracking, credits, and automated invoice reminders to save time and get better results. You can offer individual, team pricing plans, and discount codes to give the right options to people signing up.
Exercise.com offers similar options and also allows payment processing for payments accepted in-person.
Sell Products
Exercise.com allows you to sell your own products online, like fitness apparel or other products. This is a great opportunity to generate extra revenue and build brand loyalty with apparel featuring your logo or fitness business branding.
LeagueApps allows for a custom store to sell items like equipment or apparel. These eCommerce features let you sell during registration and also through a custom store. Thie platform also lets you manage new programs like private instruction, classes, tournaments, and clinics.
Sell Workout Plans
Exercise.com allows you to design and customize workout plans that you can then sell via the mobile app or website. Let’s say you created a successful beginner home resistance training plan that uses minimal equipment and want to share it with more clients than just locally. Exercise.com makes it easy for you to sell this customized plan and create an additional revenue stream for your business.
Offer Online Workout Memberships
Online workout memberships are a great way to grow your business. An exercise enthusiast may have access to a gym in their home or may travel for business with access to a hotel gym. You might have busy moms who have time for a quick workout from home but are unable to travel to a gym for a one-on-one workout session.
If you have a great reputation in the fitness industry, you may want to take that to the next level by marketing yourself, your skills, and your knowledge online outside of your local area. Exercise.com gives you the ability to grow your online clientele by giving you the option to offer online workout memberships. Any personal trainer can and should take advantage of this feature to try something new and build your business.
Sell Workout Challenges
Workout challenges are an excellent way to motivate members, enhance loyalty, and generate additional revenue for your business. Workout challenges among exercise enthusiasts create an environment of healthy competition and motivate exercisers to meet their individual fitness goals. Exercise.com provides the option of creating workout challenges for participants near and far.
Personal trainers and fitness professionals can create regular workout challenges that can occur monthly, a few times a year, or any time you desire. You can also determine the duration of the workout challenges to be four weeks, six weeks, or any length you choose.
Let’s say you have a good online following on Instagram and Twitter. You could create a workout challenge in the spring to get everyone ready for summertime. Or you could create a six-week competition at the beginning of the fall and have members set goals before the busy holiday season.
Performance Health Software
LeagueApps does not have any features for performance health assessments or nutrition tracking.
Performance health assessments are important for personal trainers and fitness professionals. Who wants to use another software or conduct them with pen and paper (the old-fashioned way)? There are online tools to help you with conducting and using assessments, but most fitness professionals do not have extra time to use different websites to keep track of all of that information for clients.
Exercise.com has robust performance health assessment features. Performance health assessment software should allow you to:
- Turn leads into clients
- Engage clients through assessments
- Gather baseline data about clients
- Plan effective fitness programs to help clients meet their health and fitness goals
- Track measurement data, injuries, etc.
- Optimize the delivery of personalized workouts and nutrition
- Use to compare to normative data of similar age and sex
Assessments
Assessments can be used for a variety of reasons to help determine a baseline, to increase motivation, as a comparison to fitness norms, and to enhance loyalty. Assessments are used to test various fitness aspects, like cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, balance, and body composition.
You can use the results of those assessments to get a baseline measurement of your client’s current level of fitness, which can be used to plan an appropriate exercise program that also uses progressive overload to see results from their hard work. The assessment results can be compared to normative values that represent different levels of fitness for a comparable age and sex.
Performance & Measurement Reports
Performance assessment reports are important to determine if there has been any progress over time toward goals. LeagueApps does not have any reports available for performance and measurement reports. Exercise.com makes it easy for you to set up delivery of these reports to share information with your clients either manually or automatically.
Let’s say you conducted a push-up assessment with your client when they started their workout program with you and they were able to do 10 push-ups in one minute. After working out consistently for six months, you do the push-up assessment with them again. This time they are able to do 20 push-ups you both you and your client can see the improvement in their muscular endurance within the six-month time frame.
Nutrition
Nutrition is a key component of any health and fitness program. If a client is working hard during their personal training sessions but does not have good eating habits, it will slow their progress. By using a diet tracker like MyFitnessPal, personal trainers using Exercise.com can view their clients’ nutrition and can make basic recommendations for them to improve their eating habits.
LeagueApps Software Pricing
LeagueApps does not post their pricing or cost structure online, but GetApp lists a starting price of $495. There are options for a free trial and free demo offered on the LeagueApps website.
The LeagueApps website mentions free basic features and they charge for a percentage online registration net volume (payment gateway fees are separate), depending on the total volume. The payments are directly deposited into the merchant account first and then LeagueApps will send a monthly invoice to the organization.
LeagueApps Software Competitors
Similar sports team management software options include LeagueLineup, Wooter, SportsSignUp, SportsEngine, EZ Facility, and TeamSnap.
The Bottom Line: Pros and Cons
LeagueApps would be appropriate for a sports team, community sports league, or recreational team/league looking to manage their calendars, registration, athletes, communications, and website. This software does not have all the options that a fitness business would need to fully manage and grow their business. Exercise.com is clearly ahead for fitness businesses in this software comparison.
LeagueApps Cons
LeagueApps is missing features that fitness businesses need to successfully manage and grow their business. The reasons why this is not a top choice for a software option include the missing features of workout creation and delivery, administrative reporting, selling workouts, and performance assessments.
In order to access those important missing features, a fitness business would need another software system. Who has time to learn, manage, and pay for two or more software options when Exercise.com has it all in one software option? That time is better spent with clients and growing your business.
Exercise.com Pros
Exercise.com truly is an all-in-one fitness business management software that will help you manage and grow every aspect of your business. Investing in a reputable and effective fitness business management software is an investment in your business.
You can build your client base locally, nationally, or even internationally with the e-commerce and workout creation/delivery features.

Exercise.com makes your life and your clients’ lives happier and healthier.
