An iClassPro alternative built for ninja gyms
iClassPro is strong class software for gymnastics, cheer, dance and swim. Ninja gyms also host league competitions, sell gear, book a lot of birthday parties and need families to find them on Google. Here is how the two compare, including where iClassPro is still ahead.
Choose Ninja HQ if you want your website, classes, parties, camps, league competitions, shop and growth tools in one place at one price. Stay with iClassPro for now if your gym runs on make-up tokens, skill trees and level certificates, or needs a branded app in the app stores: Ninja HQ doesn't have those yet.

Switching from iClassPro
Is there an iClassPro alternative for ninja gyms?
Yes. Ninja HQ is built only for ninja gyms and leagues. It covers class enrollment, trials, waitlists, monthly tuition, parties, camps, waivers, a shop and the front desk like kids activity software does, and adds your website, league competitions and local search tools.
Is Ninja HQ cheaper than iClassPro?
iClassPro starts lower: $139 to $299 per location per month on its November 2026 pricing page, plus paid add-ons such as a branded app, a website and text credits. Ninja HQ is $399 a month at the introductory rate plus a one-time $999 implementation, with the website, parties, competitions and growth tools included. Compare what you pay today for iClassPro plus your website, waivers and other tools.
Can I move my gym from iClassPro to Ninja HQ?
Yes. We import your classes from iClassPro and your families from a spreadsheet you export from iClassPro, build a free preview of your new site, and redirect your old pages when you go live. Saved cards stay with your current payment processor, so we plan with you how families add a card on Ninja HQ.
Does Ninja HQ have make-up tokens and skill tracking?
Not yet. Today you can cancel a single class date, run free trials and waitlists, and keep notes on each family, but there are no make-up tokens, skill trees or level certificates. If your gym depends on them, iClassPro covers them today.
Does Ninja HQ work with NinjaWorks and Ninja Master?
Yes. Ninja HQ takes registrations with league divisions and athlete IDs, sends athlete lists and run orders, and shows live results on your site, while NinjaWorks or Ninja Master run timing and scoring on competition day.
