Fitness & gym management platform
Rulla vs Wodify
A Wodify alternative built for Jiu Jitsu first, not fitness first.
What is Wodify?
Wodify is a fitness business platform, born in CrossFit, that also serves Jiu Jitsu academies with scheduling, billing, automated belt progression, and a content library. It is a capable generalist with a dedicated martial arts feature set.
- Hybrid gyms running CrossFit or fitness classes alongside BJJ
- Owners who want performance tracking across multiple disciplines
- Multi-location fitness businesses
- Rulla is BJJ-first: technique and concept curriculum, gi and no-gi programs, and belt/stripe progression are the core of the product, not a martial arts mode inside a fitness platform.
- Progression in Rulla reflects the curriculum students actually trained, not just attendance counts.
- Focused, modular software sized for academies, without the fitness-suite overhead.
