About
MAAT is an all-in-one gym management solution designed specifically for combat sports academies — BJJ, MMA, kickboxing, and other martial arts gyms. Trusted by hundreds of academies worldwide and used by over 100,000 practitioners, MAAT helps gym owners automate the administrative side of running a school so they can focus on what matters: teaching. The platform covers the full spectrum of gym operations. Finances are handled through automated payment collection, invoice generation, refunds, and real-time revenue tracking — eliminating the need to chase members for dues. The attendance and promotions module tracks student progress and alerts instructors when a student is ready for their next stripe or belt, removing the guesswork from promotions. Schedule management allows students to view class timetables, book spots, and manage their attendance directly from the MAAT mobile app. The student-facing experience is designed to be intuitive and requires no training. MAAT offers a single unlimited plan with no member cap, covering all features for a flat monthly or annual fee. Migration from competing platforms — including Mindbody, Glofox, Gymdesk, and others — is fully managed by the MAAT team at no extra cost, typically completed with no disruption to existing payments. Setup takes under 15 minutes, and ongoing support is provided via 1-on-1 WhatsApp. MAAT is ideal for gym owners opening new locations, scaling existing academies, or simply looking to reduce administrative overhead and spend more time on the mat.

Cons
- Transaction Fee on Top of Subscription: MAAT charges a 1% transaction fee plus Stripe processing fees in addition to the monthly plan cost, which can add up for high-volume gyms.
- Niche Focus: The platform is tailored specifically to martial arts gyms, making it less suitable for general fitness studios, yoga centers, or multi-sport facilities.
- Single Pricing Tier: There is only one plan available, which may be more than smaller or newer academies need when just starting out.
