Running a pilates studio comes with a few scheduling headaches that most gym software wasn't really built for. The right platform needs to handle equipment-based capacity (not just headcount), flexible pricing across drop-ins, packs, and memberships, and give clients a smooth way to book without your front desk fielding "is there a reformer free at 9am" calls all day. In this guide, we put together a comparison of the best pilates studio software, so you can see how to better manage your facility.
The best pilates studio software #
bsport #
bsport is built for boutique fitness and wellness studios, and pilates fits right into that. It handles class scheduling, memberships, and packs, plus a webshop and video-on-demand if you want to sell content outside class hours. Multi-location studios get a centralized view across sites, and single-location studios get tools to open up extra revenue streams without adding admin work. bsport also integrates with acces control, so it ties directly into your booking data.
Positive reviews for bsport
“From the initial conversation about using bsport the communication and advice has been amazing. No hard sell, just a clear idea of how bsport can help manage and grow my business. There are so many positives, ease of use for back office and client perspective, bookings are easy to do and manage, and if there are any issues, the customer support is first class and just as important, fast to respond.” — Capterra
Negative reviews for bsport
“At first, it took a bit of time for the team to get used to all the features, but once we did, everything ran smoothly.” — Capterra
Momence #
Momence is one of the stronger picks specifically for reformer studios, since its resource-based booking system treats each piece of equipment (reformer, Cadillac, chair, barrel) as its own bookable unit rather than just counting heads. That means no double-booked reformers and a clearer picture of equipment utilization. It also covers private session waitlists, spot scheduling, kiosk check-in, and newsletters and outreach tools.
Positive reviews for Momence
“My front desk team loves its ability to have anyone on my team communicate with clients and we can all see the history. This allows our team to streamline our efforts and the client feel well taken care of. They also appreciate how easy the POS is and the accuracy of payment processing. I also love its integration with META and Google for our Marketing efforts (Leads Funnels, Analytics, integrated forms, etc.) The Teachers love it for the Substitution feature, How it seamlessly integrates into their Google Calendars, and how they can verify the accuracy of their payroll.” — Capterra
Negative reviews for Momence
“It’s a bit pricier than some other options, but for our 20 person studio it offers the perfect amount of features which have made our students stickier.” — GetApp
Mindbody #
Mindbody is the platform most pilates studios will already know by name. It handles class packs, waitlists, private sessions, staff scheduling, and automated marketing, and its biggest advantage is the built-in consumer marketplace that exposes your studio to people already searching for classes nearby. It's a strong fit for multi-location studios that want one dashboard across sites. Mindbody works with a wide range of gym and wellness platforms and also integrates with access control.
Positive reviews for Mindbody
“Mindbody is a great platform to run a small fitness business as it integrates the scheduling, CRM, billing and financial management tools.The mobile app is very user friendly for check in and also to sign up clients while not at a desk. The classpass integration and the connection with other fitness app makes it easy to acquire clients via these other subscription offerings.” — Capterra
Negative reviews for Mindbody
“As of my opinion the user interface feels a bit nostalgic but I like it. It would be cool if it would be more modern. And would be nice if we have "group by day" option in reports-sales by category.” — Capterra
ABC Glofox #
ABC Glofox leans into branding, giving studios a fully custom-branded booking app rather than something that feels generic. Members book and check into classes through that branded experience, and studios get scheduling, membership management, and reporting behind the scenes. It's a solid option if a polished, on-brand client app matters to how you position your studio.
Positive reviews for ABC Glofox
“I am very happy. The user interface is very easy to use, which is important when on-boarding new staff. Account managers are keen on feedback on improvements, with Glofox constantly releasing new system/feature updates, which shows that our feedback has not gone unheard” — Capterra
Negative reviews for ABC Glofox
“I feel like there are some costs and features that aren't well explained in order to possible get extra add ons purchased. Some features seem a bit overcomplicated.” – Capterra
TeamUp #
TeamUp has been serving fitness studios and boxes for over a decade, and its pitch is straightforward: everyone gets the same level of service regardless of size, and pricing is based on active customers rather than which features you use. That covers booking, online payments, financial reporting, and a free import service if you're migrating from another platform.
Positive reviews for TeamUp
“With TeamUp everything is in one place! I can setup my timetable for booking classes, setup courses, multiple membership tiers that customers can easily upgrade to, collect payments, notify people of cancelled classes and more! In fact, there is a ton more feature that I am still yet to use!” – Capterra
Negative reviews for TeamUp
“It’s expensive. But within 3 months of using it I’ve filled up all my class spaces, which has more than paid for the additional cost.” – GetApp
Finegym #
Finegym automates membership operations, scheduling, payments, and access control from one dashboard, and it's built to scale from a single boutique studio up to multi-location operations. Digital waivers, automated notifications, and flexible access configurations (mapping specific membership plans to specific access levels) make it a genuinely tight fit for studios that don't want to stitch together separate tools.
Positive reviews for Finegym
“FineGym brings everything into one place, which immediately reduces the number of tools we were juggling. Member onboarding, QR check-ins, class scheduling, and payments all work together smoothly, so day-to-day operations feel more streamlined. The interface is fast and clean, even during peak hours. I also really like how easy it is to pull up a complete member profile and see attendance, payments, and bookings all in one view/” — G2
Negative reviews for Finegym
“Some of the more advanced reporting views took me a little time to fully understand at first. Notification customization is very powerful, but there are so many options that it does require some upfront setup to get everything the way I want.” — G2
Kenko #
Kenko combines booking, CRM, and AI-powered marketing into one system, aimed mainly at boutique studios and personal training businesses that want growth tools baked in rather than bolted on. Beyond day-to-day scheduling, it handles automated campaigns, lead tracking, and conversion tools meant to help studios retain clients and grow revenue. Kenko integrates with Kisi for real-time membership and booking data tied to facility access.
Positive reviews for Kenko
“The user interface, both for the business and clients, is so seamless and user friendly. Everything is simple but very modern and stylish. The ease of use creates a low barrier to entry for clients to see our classes, make a purchase, and book their spot. We can already see a lift in our sales and we're confident that's because they are able to navigate the site and app much better than our previous provider.“ — Capterra
Negative reviews for Kenko
“There are a few features that were missing and are on their way. That being said anything we have asked for the have stated they will look into it. They are constantly upgrading their systems and making changes to the platform for better ease of use.” — Capterra
Gymdesk #
Gymdesk started out built for martial arts schools but has grown into a solid all-around option for studios that want enrollment, bookings, payments, and attendance tracking without a steep learning curve. It's a good fit if you want something seamless that's intuitive rather than something with every bell and whistle.
Positive reviews for Gymdesk
“Simple to set-up and use, provides commonly needed features, making it easy to communicate with students, handle memberships, take payments, waivers/contracts, track prospective students, as well as provides small details that software we used in the past have overlooked (ability to close your gym operations for a period of time, so you don't have to manually freeze each member)” — Capterra
Negative reviews for Gymdesk
“So far nothing has been a dealbreaker at all! A few features we wish could be implemented (better recurring appointments, slightly more easy to view calendar, etc) but nothing that overshadows the simplicity and ease of use.” — Capterra
Exercise.com #
Exercise.com covers everything from class scheduling to client automation, and works for both physical studios and hybrid or fully virtual offerings. Studios get convenient check-in options (with or without key cards), booking apps, and an integrated payments platform, all under their own branding. Exercise.com integrates with access control platforms so that access syncs automatically the moment someone signs up for a membership.
Positive reviews for Exercise.com
“The ability to sign people up online or in person is a big plus. Sign ups only take a couple of minutes and flow easily. The integration with Kisi is a big plus as when members sign up for memberships, their door access is automatically set up.” — G2
Negative reviews for Exercise.com
“If I had to be picky it would be about the time it takes to launch the app - but that is part of the process. I don't mind because it makes the product more valuable.” — Capterra
PushPress #
PushPress covers automated billing, scheduling, member management, attendance tracking, and retail sales, with a free starting tier that makes it accessible for smaller studios still figuring out their systems. Members get an app to book classes and manage memberships, staff get their own app for check-ins and internal notes.
Positive reviews for PushPress
“What I like best about PushPress is how easy it is to use. Everything from scheduling classes to managing memberships and billing is simple and smooth. It saves us a ton of time. Also, it is super user-friendly. The branded app is the best service provided by PushPress. Everyone has been enjoying it and are excited. On top of that, the customer support is unmatched. Anytime we’ve had a question or needed help with implementation, the PushPress team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.” — G2
Negative reviews for PushPress
“I’m GenX so I always want a phone number over a chat box, that being said I’ve had my issues resolved in a timely fashion so it might just be time for me to embrace the current technology.” — G2
YOGO Booking #
YOGO was built for yoga studios first, but the feature set (memberships, class passes, promotions, customer profiles, video and livestream integration) translates cleanly to mat-based and small-group pilates studios too. It's worth a look if you're running a smaller, community-focused studio rather than a large multi-location operation.
Positive reviews for YOGO
“We have been using Yogo since the beginning of the year – and we're absolutely thrilled! The booking system is simple and intuitive, allowing our participants to secure their yoga class spots even faster – even on the go using the handy app. The support team is super friendly, available at any time, and absolutely solution-oriented. We feel well looked after and can therefore fully concentrate on what we love: teaching yoga.” — Trustpilot
How to choose the best pilates studio software #
Most of these platforms cover the basics well, so the real question is what your studio usually needs more of. If equipment-based scheduling is your biggest daily headache, then maybe Momence's resource-based booking is going to save you more time than a platform built around headcount alone. If you're running multiple locations or want the exposure of a built-in marketplace, Mindbody's scale is hard to match. Smaller, single-location studios that want a branded app without enterprise pricing will likely get more value out of TeamUp, Finegym, or bsport.
Whichever platform you land on, it's worth checking how it handles access control early rather than as an afterthought. As more studios move toward extended hours or 24/7 self-service models, having a confirmed booking automatically trigger door access definitely matters now more than it used to.
Kisi's integrations with the platforms above let studios connect booking data directly to physical access, so a class reservation or membership renewal updates door permissions without anyone touching a spreadsheet. If you're evaluating software for your pilates studio, book a demo with Kisi to see how access control fits into the rest of your stack.
