You're not the only one who's had enough.
Mma Coaches face unique challenges: I'm coaching striking, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu in one program, so tracking each fighter's progress across disciplines is a juggle. Amateur and pro fighters in my camp need weight cuts and corner work on fight weeks that swallow my schedule. Sparring injuries and clearances are my liability — I have to know who's hurt, who's cleared, who's cutting weight. Hobbyists who pay the bills mix with competitors who pay little but bring the gym its name. On top of all that, Calendly charges $12/month ($144/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median MMA Coach earns $40,000/year. Software at $144/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your MMA gloves and grappling dummies is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Calendly is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?

I open the gym and set the mats, check the cage door, and lay out striking and grappling gear. Morning is a fundamentals class — stance, level changes, basic guard — for the hobbyists and beginners who actually keep the lights on. I'm correcting a sloppy sprawl on one mat and a lazy jab on another, scaling everything for a room that ranges from week-one white belts to a guy with a couple amateur fights. Midday I'm with my competition team: striking drills, then live wrestling, then jiu-jitsu rounds, and I'm tracking each fighter across all three — this one's hands are sharp but his takedown defense is leaking, that one's a grappling problem but won't throw. I've got a fighter with an amateur bout in two weeks, so his week is built around a weight cut, and I'm watching the scale and his energy. Sparring rounds in the afternoon put me on alert — who's cleared, who tweaked a knee last week, who needs to go light because they fight soon. A pro on the team got cut from a card and another's corner I'm working this weekend, which means I'll be at weigh-ins and cage-side instead of coaching the regular evening class. Evening is the big striking class, packed with paying members, and I close by sorting who's on a membership, who paid mat fees, and which competitors I carry for free because they put the gym on the map.
