Yoga & fitness studios
Best booking system for yoga & fitness studios (2026)
The direct answer: for most independent yoga and fitness studios, the best booking system is the one that handles class passes, recurring memberships and no-shows without a fight, on public monthly pricing. Class Booking (our product; this is our page and we say so up front), Momoyoga and Eversports Manager cover that for most studios. If you run a multi-location chain that needs a branded native app, Mindbody and Glofox remain the serious options. Below: ten systems ranked, with pricing, contracts, data residency, 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.
- Yoga-only on the smallest budget: Momoyoga, a real free plan (5% platform fee on payments) with paid plans from €29/month.
- Studio mixing yoga, Pilates and fitness classes: Class Booking or Eversports Manager, both handle mixed timetables, memberships and drop-ins without a separate tool per discipline.
- Multi-location chain that needs a branded native app: Glofox or Mindbody, budget for sales-led pricing and longer contracts.
Why yoga and fitness studios are their own case
A yoga and fitness studio is not a 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.
That rules out a surprising number of well-known tools. Some are gym-shaped and treat classes as an afterthought. Some are yoga-only and stall the moment you add strength or Pilates. Some are priced for US chains and only quote after a demo. This list weighs each system on the day-to-day work of a European yoga and fitness studio, not on a feature checklist.
What matters for a yoga and fitness 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. Pricing and languages. Public monthly pricing you can read without a sales call, and admin plus member-facing text in your own language. Europe is not an English-only market.
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 these five criteria, and every entry below, including ours, lists an honest limitation so you can disagree with evidence.
The ten booking systems, ranked
Ranked for the typical independent yoga and fitness studio. 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 English, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Spanish. Danish studios get our sister product Holdstyring. Done-for-you migration from Mindbody, Glofox 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 that 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 white-label native iOS/Android app under your own name; we ship an installable, responsive web app instead. Chains that need payroll and franchise reporting are better served by Mindbody.
2. Mindbody
The category incumbent, founded in California in 2001, and still the deepest feature set for studios: retail, payroll, complex membership rules, multi-location reporting, plus a consumer marketplace where members discover classes across studios.
Best for: larger yoga and fitness studios and chains that want marketplace exposure and genuinely need the full feature depth.
Pricing: sales-led. No public price list; reported entry around $159 per month per location, annual contracts common, and marketplace bookings carry an additional commission.
Honest limitation: US-hosted and US-priced. For a single-location European studio the cost-to-value ratio is hard to defend, and GDPR compliance is retrofitted rather than native.
3. Eversports Manager
Vienna-built studio management attached to the Eversports marketplace, which is genuinely strong for yoga and fitness studios in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium. When FitogramPro was discontinued at the end of 2024, Eversports became its official successor.
Best for: yoga and fitness studios in DACH and Benelux that want marketplace visibility alongside their own booking page.
Pricing: public, from €49/month (Light, billed annually) up to €229/month, plus a €99 one-time onboarding fee. New customers arriving via the marketplace carry a 25% referral fee, capped at €75 per customer.
Honest limitation: plans are capped by monthly bookings, so busy studios climb tiers quickly, and the marketplace matters most in its home markets. A studio in Spain or the Nordics gets less from it.
4. TeamUp
UK-founded booking software for group fitness (gyms, boxes and studios), owned by US-based DaySmart since 2022. Every plan includes every feature; the price scales with active customers instead, and drops automatically if your numbers do.
Best for: fitness-led studios and boxes that want all features from day one and pricing tied to actual usage.
Pricing: public, from $119/month for up to 100 active customers (also billed in GBP and EUR), month-to-month, no setup fees.
Honest limitation: the highest entry price among the no-contract tools here, and per-customer pricing grows with your member list. The product is English-first.
5. 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/month and Plus from €59/month billed annually; recurring memberships require Plus.
Honest limitation: yoga-only by design. Studios mixing yoga with fitness or strength, or wanting deeper marketing and reporting, will outgrow it.
6. Glofox
Dublin-built, now owned by US-based ABC Fitness. Its branded native member app, your studio's own app on the App Store and Google Play, is the strongest offer in the mid-market, and UK/Ireland payments handling is mature.
Best for: gyms and multi-location fitness studios where a branded native app is a hard requirement.
Pricing: sales-led. Advertised from $99/month, but quotes are custom, operator-reported spend usually lands well above that, and 12-24 month contracts are standard.
Honest limitation: long contracts and opaque pricing, and since the ABC Fitness acquisition the product increasingly follows a US gym-chain agenda rather than European independents.
7. bsport
Paris-built and boutique-focused: Pilates, yoga and barre studios are its home turf, and it is visibly popular with French and UK boutiques. Modern interface with unusually strong CRM and marketing tooling.
Best for: ambitious boutique studios that want marketing automation and are comfortable with a sales process.
Pricing: sales-led. No public price list; reported entry around €150/month, on annual contracts with a two-month notice period.
Honest limitation: annual commitment plus notice period, and the price is quoted rather than listed. You only learn your real cost by negotiating.
8. Punchpass
A small US company doing one thing well: straightforward class management for small studios, with friendly support and honest public pricing, a rarity in this market.
Best for: small yoga and fitness studios and solo teachers who want the simplest possible tool and do not mind where the servers are.
Pricing: public, from $59/month (Grow) to $149/month (Pro), month-to-month, 14-day free trial.
Honest limitation: US-based, US-hosted and English-only. For European studios that need EU data residency, local payment methods or localized admin, it is a stretch.
9. WellnessLiving
A Toronto-based all-in-one platform positioned as the main North American alternative to Mindbody: booking, marketing, loyalty and a white-label member app on the higher tiers.
Best for: North-America-style studios and franchises that want a Mindbody-scale feature set at a lower published price.
Pricing: public tiers from $69/month (Starter, one staff member); the tiers most studios need run $199 to $349/month.
Honest limitation: built for North America first. European VAT handling, languages and EU data residency are not the product's centre of gravity.
10. Gymdesk
US-built management software for gyms and martial arts academies with a reputation for clean design, public pricing and a no-pressure sales approach; its honest comparison pages are a pattern this page openly borrows.
Best for: gyms and martial arts schools that value simplicity and transparent pricing over a deep class-pass and membership feature set.
Pricing: public, $75 to $200 per month by member count, 30-day free trial, month-to-month.
Honest limitation: US-based and English-only, with US-first payments. EU data residency and European languages are not part of the offer.

FAQ
What does a booking system for a yoga or fitness studio cost?
Published list prices in this comparison run from €10 / £8 / $13/month (Class Booking) and €29/month (Momoyoga's paid tier) up to €229/month (Eversports Manager's top tier). Sales-led platforms (Mindbody, Glofox, bsport) typically land between €100 and €300+ per month once quoted. Payment processing comes on top everywhere; watch for platform fees added on top of the processor's own rate.
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; gym-shaped tools treat classes as a side feature. A class-based system that handles both, like Class Booking or Eversports Manager, saves you running two subscriptions.
Can I move my studio from Mindbody or a gym tool 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.
Is there a free booking system for a small studio?
Momoyoga has a real free plan, funded by a 5% platform fee on payments. Everything else here is paid, usually behind a 14- or 30-day trial. Free tiers suit solo teachers, but once you process meaningful volume a 5% fee costs more than a €10 to €29 subscription.
Which systems handle waitlists and no-shows?
Most on this list do it to some degree, but the depth varies. Look for automatic waitlist promotion (when someone cancels, the next person is booked and told), late-cancellation windows and no-show tracking tied to class passes. Class Booking, Mindbody, Glofox and Eversports Manager handle this well; the simplest tools cover the basics but leave more to manual work.
You make Class Booking, why should we trust this list?
Do not trust it blindly; check it. Every price is either from a public price list or marked as sales-led, and every entry, including ours, names who the tool is not for. If you are a chain that needs a branded native app, this page pointed you at Glofox and Mindbody. That is the honest answer, published on our own website.
