Yoga studios in Norway
Best booking system for yoga studios in Norway (2026)
The direct answer: for most independent yoga and fitness studios in Norway, the best booking system is the one that handles class passes, recurring memberships and no-shows without a fight, on public pricing and with a payment method members recognise. Class Booking (our product; this is our page and we say so up front) is our first pick, but the Norwegian players have a genuine edge on local payment: iBooking and Membro have Vipps built in, and Mana is free up to 100 active members on top. Below: six systems ranked, with price, contracts, local payment and EU data, languages and one honest limitation each, so you can check the claim rather than take our word for it.
The short answer
- Independent yoga or fitness studio: Class Booking (ours), public pricing from €10 / £8 / $13/month, class passes and recurring memberships in one product, no contracts, EU-hosted. Payments via Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay).
- Smallest studio on the tightest budget: Mana is free up to 100 active members with every feature, and Momoyoga has a real free tier (5% fee). Both get you started without a subscription.
- Studio mixing yoga, Pilates and fitness classes: Class Booking handles mixed timetables, memberships and drop-ins without a separate tool per discipline.
- Norwegian gym or chain that wants a mature Norwegian system with Vipps: iBooking for an established Norwegian product, or Membro for running membership-based, unstaffed centres.
Why the Norwegian market is its own case
A yoga and fitness studio is not a big-box gym and not a solo teacher. You sell class passes and recurring memberships side by side, you run a timetable that mixes disciplines and instructors, and a no-show costs you a seat someone on the waitlist wanted. The booking system has to hold all of that without bolt-ons, and it has to do it on a phone, because that is where members book.
In Norway there is one more thing: members expect Vipps. A system without local payment built in can work, but it adds friction at checkout. So this list weighs each system on both the day-to-day studio work and Norwegian payment, not just on a feature checklist. Class Booking takes payment through Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay); the Norwegian players lead on Vipps, and we say so plainly.
What matters for a Norwegian studio
No affiliate links, no paid placements, no invented scores. We compared the systems studio owners actually shortlist, on the five things that decide the day-to-day:
- 1. Class passes and drop-ins. Punch cards, class packs and single drop-ins alongside memberships. Yoga and fitness members rarely commit to one payment model, and the system should not force them to.
- 2. Recurring memberships. Automatic monthly billing that retries failed cards, handles pauses and holidays, and does not need a spreadsheet on the side. This is where most cheap tools quietly fall short.
- 3. Waitlists and no-shows. Automatic waitlist promotion, late-cancellation rules and no-show tracking. A full class with three empty mats is a booking-system failure, not a member problem.
- 4. Mobile booking. Members booking, cancelling and paying from a phone with Apple Pay and Google Pay, whether that is a native app or an installable web app. If booking is awkward on mobile, attendance drops.
- 5. Vipps and Norwegian. Local payment members recognise (Vipps) and admin plus member-facing text in Norwegian. The Norwegian players have Vipps built in; Class Booking currently takes payment through Stripe with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
And the bias, stated plainly: Class Booking is our product. We ranked it first because for independent yoga and fitness studios we believe it is the best pick on the core product, but every entry below, including ours, lists an honest limitation, and we are open about where the Norwegian players are better.
The six booking systems, ranked
Ranked for the typical independent yoga and fitness studio in Norway. If your studio is not typical, the best-for and honest-limitation lines matter more than the order.
1. Class Booking (this is us)
Full disclosure: Class Booking is our product. We rank it first, and you should read this entry with that in mind.
Built by Nahbo ApS in Copenhagen for class-based studios: scheduling, memberships, class passes, waitlists, payments, marketing and reporting in one product. EU-hosted from day one, Stripe at standard rates with nothing added on top, Apple Pay and Google Pay out of the box, and admin in Norwegian plus English, German, Swedish and Spanish. Done-for-you migration from Mindbody, Momoyoga and others is included.
Best for: independent yoga and fitness studios that want class passes and recurring memberships in one tool, public pricing, no contracts, and mobile booking members actually use.
Pricing: public, €10 / £8 / $13 to €50 / £40 / $60 per month, 14-day free trial, no setup fee, cancel monthly.
Honest limitation: no native Vipps yet (payments run through Stripe with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay) and no white-label native app under your own name. If your studio needs Vipps at checkout today, the Norwegian players weigh heavier, and we say so plainly.
2. iBooking
Norwegian booking and membership platform from Bodo (Ibooking AS), long used by Norwegian gyms and studios, with apps and SaaS for booking and events and support for Vipps.
Best for: Norwegian gyms and studios that want a mature Norwegian product with Vipps and support in Norwegian.
Pricing: sales-led, pricing on request, not published (per their site, July 2026).
Honest limitation: focused on the Norwegian market, and the price is quoted on request rather than listed; for a small yoga studio it can be heavier than a simple studio tool.
3. Membro
Norwegian membership system (membro.no) for the fitness industry, modular, with direct debit (avtalegiro) and Vipps and a complete member register. The basic version is built for unstaffed centres without group classes.
Best for: Norwegian membership-based centres and clubs, especially unstaffed centres that want a solid member register with direct debit and Vipps.
Pricing: sales-led, pricing on request, not published; modular (per their site, July 2026).
Honest limitation: member-register first, and the group-class and class-pass flow is lighter than the class-based platforms; the basic version is built for unstaffed centres without group classes.
4. Wondr
Nordic studio and wellness platform with a polished, app-first member experience, aimed at boutique studios in Norway and Sweden.
Best for: Nordic boutique studios that want a modern, app-first member experience.
Pricing: sales-led, pricing on request, not published (per their site, July 2026).
Honest limitation: sales-led pricing and a smaller ecosystem than the incumbents; you learn your real cost only after a sales conversation.
5. Mana
Nordic booking and membership system with an unusually generous pricing model: free up to 100 active members, then a flat monthly fee that scales with member count. Every tier, including the free one, includes class passes, memberships, a branded app and local payment integrations.
Best for: smaller Norwegian studios where free up to 100 members and a branded app matter, and studios that want corporate-wellness checkout.
Pricing: free up to 100 active members, then 89 EUR/month (300 members), 189 EUR/month (600) and 289 EUR/month (900); every feature is in every tier (per their site, July 2026).
Honest limitation: a newer and smaller player than the incumbents, and the flat fee steps up with member count, so above a few hundred members the price edge narrows. But on price for a small studio Mana beats us, and we say so plainly.
6. Momoyoga
A Dutch platform built specifically for yoga studios and independent teachers, and deliberately simple. The free plan is real: unlimited classes and students, funded by a 5% platform fee on payments instead of a subscription.
Best for: yoga teachers and small yoga studios that want the lowest cost of entry and little beyond schedule, passes and payments.
Pricing: public, free plan (5% platform fee), Standard from 29 EUR/month and Plus from 59 EUR/month billed annually; recurring memberships require Plus (per their public pricing, July 2026).
Honest limitation: yoga-only by design, and no native Vipps. Studios mixing yoga with fitness or strength, or wanting deeper marketing and reporting, will outgrow it.

FAQ
What does a booking system for a yoga or fitness studio in Norway cost?
Published prices in this comparison start at €10 / £8 / $13/month (Class Booking), and Mana is free up to 100 active members and then from 89 EUR/month. Momoyoga has a free tier (5% fee) and paid plans from 29 EUR/month. iBooking, Membro and Wondr quote on request. Payment processing fees come on top everywhere.
Which systems have Vipps built in?
The Norwegian players lead here: iBooking and Membro have Vipps built in, and Membro also supports direct debit (avtalegiro). Class Booking currently takes payment through Stripe with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, not Vipps. If your studio needs Vipps at checkout today, that is a genuine reason to weigh the Norwegian players heavier, and we say so plainly.
Can I move my studio from another system to something simpler?
Yes, studios do it routinely. Client lists, schedules and pass balances export well enough; the genuinely hard part is active recurring payments, which depends on your payment processor. Expect a few hours of your own time and a transition window of days, not months. We do the migration for our customers, and several other vendors on this list offer the same.
Do yoga and fitness studios need different software?
Usually no, and that is the point. A studio running yoga, Pilates and strength classes wants one timetable, one membership base and one place to see who booked. Yoga-only tools like Momoyoga are excellent until you add fitness formats; membership systems like Membro are built for centre operations and have a lighter group-class flow. A class-based system like Class Booking handles both without two subscriptions.
Is there a free booking system for a small Norwegian studio?
Yes. Mana is free up to 100 active members with every feature, including a branded app, and Momoyoga has a real free tier funded by a 5% platform fee. For a small studio those are the strongest free routes; as member numbers grow a subscription often works out cheaper.
You make Class Booking, why should we trust this list?
Do not trust it blindly; check it. We rank ourselves first on the class-based core product, but we are open about where the Norwegian players are better: iBooking and Membro have Vipps built in while we use Stripe, and Mana is free up to 100 members. That is the honest answer, published on our own website.
