1. Slack

Team Communication

What it does: It will replace group text and email amongst your staff. It is a far superior form of communication for small teams by being able to categorize conversations into public and private channels relevant to the conversation or notification. Create a private '#workouts' channel, just for coaches to discuss upcoming weeks programming and movement related tips. A '#members' channel to receive member notification about new leads, new members and overdue payments with the PushPress integration. And a '#events' channel to help organize the next in-house competition you are running.Killer Feature: Integrates really well with 100's of other top tier applications.Pricing: Freemium. Unlimited users and channels on free tier.More Info:https://slack.com/
