Since we started using MatGoat, attendance tracking runs on its own. Students check in on the tablet and I can focus on teaching.

The challenges of managing a Boxing gym
These are the problems boxing coaches bring up most often
No traditional belt system
Boxing has no belts, but progress still needs structure. Coaches track technique, conditioning, and ring experience in their heads, and a new trainer has no record to work from.
Weight class management
Your competitive boxers live by the scale. Matching training plans and bouts to weight classes means keeping current weights and fight records somewhere better than a whiteboard.
Sparring pairing
Safe sparring depends on matching level, weight, and experience. You need to know who is cleared to spar and who still needs months of bag and pad work.
Two kinds of members
Most boxing gyms mix fitness members who come for the workout with competitors chasing bouts. They pay differently, train differently, and quit for different reasons.
Cash and missed payments
Monthly fees collected in cash or by transfer leave gaps. Someone always forgets, and chasing payments between rounds is nobody's favorite part of coaching.
Busy floor, no front desk
Most clubs have no receptionist. The coach runs warm-ups, holds pads, and watches the door at the same time, so member admin happens late at night or not at all.
What boxing gym software should actually do
A boxing club runs on volume and rhythm: morning conditioning, lunchtime bag work, evening technique classes, and sparring twice a week. The coach is usually also the owner, the matchmaker, and the accountant. Admin time competes directly with coaching time, and admin usually loses. Attendance sheets stay blank, fees slip a month, and nobody notices that a regular has been gone since the start of summer.
Most software aimed at gyms was built for fitness chains. It handles bookings and billing, and it treats every member as identical. A boxing club needs to know different things: which members are cleared to spar, who is preparing for a bout in eight weeks, how a competitor's attendance changed during fight camp, and which fitness members are drifting away.
MatGoat approaches the club as a combat sports gym rather than a booking calendar. Attendance runs on a tablet by the door, split by class type, so technique classes, conditioning, and sparring sessions are recorded separately without anyone standing at a desk. Levels are whatever you decide: beginner, intermediate, advanced, competitor, or a finer structure of your own, with each boxer's history stored on their profile.
Custom fields hold the details that matter in boxing: walking weight, competition weight class, amateur record, medical clearance dates. Payments are collected by direct debit with no commission, which ends the monthly cash chase, and the statistics show which classes fill the floor and which members are fading.
Competition adds its own layer. In the eight weeks before a fight night, a boxer's routine changes completely: extra sparring, morning roadwork, and a diet tied to the weigh-in date. The attendance history shows whether a fighter actually trained the way the camp was planned, and private coach notes keep the details of each preparation in one place instead of in memory.
The sections below cover each feature in detail, along with transparent pricing in dollars and a direct comparison with generic gym platforms, so you can judge whether MatGoat fits the way your club works. The pricing page lists every feature by plan.

How MatGoat helps your gym
Features adapted for boxing clubs
SOLUTION #1
A level system you define
Boxing progress does not come with colored belts, so MatGoat lets you create your own levels and record each boxer's advancement through them. Beginner to competitor, or a finer scale if you prefer. Every promotion is dated and stored, and a new coach can read a member's full history instead of asking around the gym. Levels also drive the video library, so each member sees material for their stage.
Custom levels from beginner to competitor
Promotion history with dates
Progress visible to each boxer in the app
SOLUTION #2
Attendance without a front desk
The included tablet sits by the door and members check in by tapping their photo. Attendance is split by class type, so you know who came to technique, who did conditioning, and who sparred. When a regular's visits drop from four a week to one, the numbers make it visible before the cancellation arrives.
SOLUTION #3
Technique videos for homework
Upload combinations, footwork drills, and defensive patterns to a private library organized by level. Fitness members review the basics between classes, competitors study tactics for their next opponent, and nobody needs to film the whiteboard after class. Coaches can also upload fight footage for the competition team to study before a bout.
Members review drills and combinations from home, organized by level.
SOLUTION #4
Payments that collect themselves
Set up monthly plans and collect by direct debit with 0% commission. Failed receipts trigger automatic reminders, one-off charges such as licenses or gloves are recorded on the member profile, and the month ends without a list of people to chase.
Collected fees, pending receipts, and membership plans in one dashboard.
SOLUTION #5
Messages that reach everyone
Announce a schedule change, message the competition team about weigh-ins, or contact one member about a missed payment. Email and push notifications through the app replace the group chat that nobody reads to the end.
Academy-wide announcements
Messages for specific groups
Email and push notifications
SOLUTION #6
Statistics that show the whole club
The dashboard tracks attendance by class, month, and member. See which time slots deserve another class, how summer affects your numbers, and which members are at risk of leaving. Clubs rarely lose members loudly, and the statistics catch the quiet exits.
Attendance trends by class and member help you catch quiet exits early.

You create custom levels such as beginner, intermediate, advanced, and competitor, and record each boxer's progress through them. Promotions are dated, and private coach notes on each profile hold details about technique, sparring readiness, and fights. A new coach can read the history instead of starting from zero.
Yes. Add custom fields for walking weight, competition weight class, amateur or professional record, medical clearance dates, and anything else your club tracks. The fields appear on the member profile, so weigh-in season stops depending on a separate spreadsheet. When a boxer changes weight class, you simply update the field and the profile stays current.
Yes. MatGoat adapts to any type of boxing gym, from amateur clubs and youth programs to teams with professional fighters. Levels, class types, and custom fields are flexible enough to cover both, and fitness-only members fit alongside competitors in the same system. Clubs that run separate boxercise or fitness sessions track them as their own class type.
Yes. Create membership plans, collect recurring fees by direct debit, record cash or transfer payments, and send reminders when a receipt fails. MatGoat charges no commission on collections, so the club keeps the full fee. One-off charges such as licenses or equipment are recorded on the member profile.
Yes. Create separate schedules for technique classes, conditioning, sparring, youth programs, and competition team sessions, then track attendance for each class type. The history shows exactly which sessions each member attends, which helps with sparring clearance and fight preparation.
MatGoat costs $40 per month for clubs with up to 50 members and $60 per month for unlimited members. Both plans include the check-in tablet and the video library. There are no setup fees, no per-member charges, and no commission on payments. You can try everything free for 30 days without a credit card.
Yes. The tablet sits by the door and members check in by tapping their photo. It takes a second, and the coach sees the class list fill in real time. Most clubs run the whole system without a front desk, which is exactly how boxing gyms tend to operate.
Yes. Use levels and custom fields to mark sparring clearance, and review each member's class history before pairing them. Private coach notes hold reminders such as which boxers need more defensive work before hard rounds. Everything sits on the profile, visible to coaches only.
Export your member list to a CSV file and import it into MatGoat. Most clubs complete the initial setup in under 15 minutes. The team is available by WhatsApp and email during the move, and a video call is available if you want help setting up plans or classes. Your data stays yours, and you can export it again at any time.
Yes. Kids classes get their own schedule and attendance history, and parents link their children's profiles to one account to manage the family and receive announcements. When a youth boxer moves up to the senior program, the full training history moves with them.
