Fitness Pros Who Trust Exercise.com
SportsPilot Software Review
Founded in 1999, SportsPilot is an online registration and sports camp management software platform with features that include registration, scheduling, facility management, background checks, and websites to amateur sports organizations, teams, and clubs. They state that their main goal is to streamline administrative tasks when operating youth sports to create a more efficient experience.
Being around since 1999, one would think that SportsPilot would be more formidably known with a good amount of reviews for their software — but this is not the case. When browsing through the internet it is a bit difficult to find reviews or concrete information about SportsPilot. There are reviews about the mobile app they offer for a few features such as messaging and notifications but the two most recent reviews about the mobile app commonly complained about issues with notifications.
“Our push notifications stopped working so parents are not getting alerted of updates. We are also unable to upload photos anymore either.” (Google Play Store)
“I recently upgraded my phone to a Google Pixel 4XL and now I receive NO notifications. I checked Notifications under Settings and they toggle bar is slid over to activate vibrate notifications, but nothing. On my old phone (Google Pixel 2XL) I used to get a QC logo displayed on my notification bar, along with vibration. Now there is nothing!” (Google Play Store)
In fact, when browsing through the web, the only three reviews found in general in which users commented on their experience with the company were between the years 2018 and 2019. Stating to operate for more than two decades, this dilemma seems questionable.
SportsPilot vs. Exercise.com
When browsing through SportsPilot’s website it appears they offer some features that may be useful for youth and amateur sports leagues but not so much for fitness businesses. Along with the lack of content and information about their business, it seems risky to venture into any software platform without fully knowing that platform.
We here at Exercise.com have a staff full of highly experienced individuals who have been in the fitness industry for a long time. We have an advisory board comprised of some of the top fitness professionals that help guide on the necessary features for now and the future. We created our all-in-one software platform to help fitness business owners take their business to the next level and we have a rich track record to show for it.
The various features and capabilities our software provides can not only help grow your business but manage it in an easy and efficient manner. Below, we will go into more detail about SportsPilot and why Exercise.com is the better choice.
Unless otherwise stated, all images and reviews below are of/about the Exercise.com software platform.
Fitness Business Management Software
One of the most important factors for any business owner is the management of their business. The software you utilize needs to have solid management features so that your business can run smoothly.
With Exercise.com, we created our dedicated Fitness Business Management Software (FBM) that is capable of managing many features such as schedule management for classes, members, and employees as well as workout creation and delivery, billing, notifications, and more all within the same web and mobile apps. Everything you need is conveniently in one location so there is no need to download and navigate through different applications.
Client/Class Scheduling
There is no client/class scheduling with SportsPilot. The only means of scheduling is the scheduling of games, practices, or tournaments, not clients or classes for sessions. It is also unclear if the scheduling calendar can be integrated with Google or Apple.
The Exercise.com calendar allows you to track visits and book classes/sessions. You also have the ability for calendar integration with Google and Apple. With our calendars, you can sort clients in multiple ways such as by:
- Trainer
- Location
- Service
- Recurring
- Time
- Availability
Gym/Facility Management
SportsPilot offers very few gym/facility management features. On their website, they state that they allow you to manage your facility by creating, managing, and viewing operations through day-to-day operation reports. They do not expand further on this subject.
Exercise.com’s gym/facility management features are equipped to manage key areas of your business easily and efficiently. You have the ability to provide staff accounts with different permissions and customized business and sales reports to fully analyze how your business is operating. Your customized reports can be sorted by client, location, and services further allowing multiple options to decide if changes need to be made to enhance the success of your business.
Client Automation
With SportsPilot you are able to send emails or messages to members through an application called QuickClub but it is unclear if there are automated options in sending these messages. With Exercise.com you not only can message members or clients but automate your messages as well. In fact, automatic messages are just a small area that our software platform is able to automate. With our software platform you are able to:
- Automate Emails and Texts/Other Automatic Features
- 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 allows you to, in Zapier’s words, “Integrate (link your web apps with a few clicks, so 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.
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
Your brand is one of the big factors that sets you apart from your competitors; so having software that can be customized to your brand’s likeness can be vital.
Custom-Branded
As stated above, your brand’s likeness can be important; oftentimes, it is the first thing any customer will see. That is why the Exercise.com software platform is fully customizable to ensure your brand can be admired by those who see it.
iOS & Android Apps
SportsPilot does not offer you your own custom branded iOS or Android app. They offer an app called QuickClub that is mostly used for notifications, messaging, and payment options. However, with the most recent reviews complaining about issues with some of these features, it’s hard not to question if their app can run properly.
With Exercise.com you have many customizable options for your mobile apps. You are able to fully customize your web and mobile apps with not just colors and logos but verbiage, integrations, custom videos, and more, as well. It will be your brand that clients will see straight from the Apple and Android app stores. Better yet, all of our features are operable within the same custom-branded apps allowing you to easily run your business anywhere.
Websites
SportsPilot allows you to have your own website with some customization but they do not expand on how you can customize your website other than by stating to have “customizable options and templates.”
With Exercise.com, you’re ensured to have your own responsive and fully customizable website with a full range of customizable options just like our mobile apps.
Some of the features our websites offer include:
- SEO optimized
- Unlimited theme changes
- Built to convert visitors to leads
- Custom graphic work
- Google Certified Partner
Security Features
SportsPilot claims to secure your personal information in computer servers that are secured and protected from unauthorized access. They also utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security.
The Exercise.com software platform’s website and mobile apps are designed to process data in accordance with the responsibilities under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
We utilize measures that include:
- SSL Security
- Privacy Shield Framework
- Google Cloud
Marketing Integrations
There are no marketing integrational options with SportsPilot, hindering you from marketing your brand through various platforms. Exercise.com provides numerous ways to market your business through integrations that include:
- MailChimp
- ConstantContact
- ConvertKit
- Zapier
- Google Analytics
- Facebook Pixel

Workout Software
Having software capable of workout features can oftentimes be a staple for any fitness business. SportsPilot offers no workout software features within its platform. Exerrcise.com has you covered with numerous workout features built to help your clients and your business succeed.
Workout Creator/Logger
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 training sessions are one of the most common forms of training, so it is important that you have the ability to customize these sessions to meet the individual needs of any client. With our software, one-on-one training sessions can be fully customized for in-person and/or online clients.
Group Training
Many forms of exercises are done in a group setting which is why your software needs to have the capability to customize these sessions. With Exercise.com, customized training content can be specifically designed for any group activity in-person and/or online.
Online Training
Due to the increased engagement that the internet provides, especially through social media platforms, online training has become a very popular form of training that has been rewarding for many fitness businesses. Exercise.com allows you to take advantage of the online world by enabling you to design and sell online workouts and plans to online and/or in-person clients.
Exercise Library
We make the creation of your workouts and plans easy by providing you with a pre-built library filled with thousands of exercises. Any exercise you need can be searched for and each exercise comes with video demonstrations, tips, location of muscles worked, and more. If unique exercises need to be included you have the option to add customized videos to the library.
Custom Exercises
With Exercise.com, you can add custom exercises to your exercise library. These exercises can be filmed anywhere and can feature you, your staff members, or anybody of your choice, truly giving you the power to create content for any client.
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
E-commerce software capability for any business can be a rewarding form of revenue. SportsPilot does not allow you to effectively sell your content. The only means of clients purchasing from you is mainly through registration/membership fees. This is far from the case with Exercise.com as our software platform is capable of many e-commerce and point-of-sale options to sell your content.
Payment Processing
SportsPilot has limited payment processing options by allowing payment via credit card only. Exercise.com provides numerous options for clients. Clients can pay a one-time or recurring fee or membership with cash, check, credit card, or direct deposit, online, or in-store. All of these payment tools can be accessed within the same custom-branded web and mobile apps you use for your clients and staff.
Sell Products
With Exercise.com, you are able to sell products online and/or in-store giving clients more options to continue to engage with your business and brand.
Sell Workout Plans
Exercise.com offers you the ability to sell your own fully customizable workout plans to anyone, at any time, and anywhere.
Offer Online Workout Memberships
Workout plans are great, but for clients who want to be on a recurring and automated schedule, Exercise.com gives you the option to sell online workout memberships as well. Your clients can be put on a schedule in which exercises are sent automatically at a designated time/situation.
Sell Workout Challenges
Workout challenges are a great way to motivate and re-engage your in-person clients but it doesn’t have to stop there. Workout challenges can also grab the attention of potential clients, especially through social media platforms. Exercise.com gives you the ability to sell your own custom workout challenges to in-person and/or online clients.
Performance Health Software
When trying to improve a client’s fitness level, it is important to analyze not only the client’s body but also their eating habits. All of these factors can come into play when maximizing the potential that client has towards their goals and journey. SportsPilot does not have any performance health features in assessments, reports, or nutrition. For any fitness/sports business, these features can be vital to improving the overall health and fitness of clients.
At Exercise.com, we provide numerous features that help clients live healthier lives. Our Performance Health Software allows you to:
- Reengage clients through automated assessments
- Retain clients by showing progress
- Track measurement data, injuries, etc.
- Optimize the delivery of personalized workouts and nutrition
Assessments
With Exercise.com, you can perform custom assessments that can automatically trigger custom workouts based on the data acquired. These assessments can provide history, measurement data, injuries, photos/videos, and goals allowing you to specifically analyze any individual.
Performance & Measurement Reports
As part of your custom assessments, you have many performance and measurement options to choose from such as weight, height, activity level, distance runs, power output, range of motion measurements, and others. No matter if your client is a competitive athlete or trying to lose weight, you have many measurement options to choose from to ensure they are maximizing their potential.
Nutrition
You can never disregard nutrition when it comes to fitness. That is why we made it a point to include nutritional tracking features within our software platform. With Exercise.com, you are able to monitor your client’s eating habits and track daily nutrients such as carbs, fat, protein, etc. You are also able to upload meal plans, files, and pictures.
SportsPilot Pricing
In order to find out the pricing for SportsPilot, you have to fill out a pricing request form and input information about your business, your website URL, the number of members you have, and the services you need from their software. After you submit this form, they state that one of their team members will contact you within normal business operations.

The Bottom Line: Pros and Cons
For your fitness business, you want a software platform that empowers you, not limits you. You want to have features and options that allow you to easily grow, engage, and improve the health of your clientele. The Exercise.com all-in-one software platform does just that.
SportsPilot Cons
For the reasons stated above, SportsPilot does not have the full spectrum of capabilities necessary for fitness/sport businesses. The lack of information/reviews about their company, which has been around since 1999, also warrants concern. It’s hard not to question if their software is outdated especially as some of the few most recent reviews have complained about features not working. For any business owner, it could be jeopardizing to put your business in the hands of software that has uncertainty and limitations regarding different factors.
