Yoga & Pilates Studios Need Flexible Tools—Not Clunky Workarounds

Yoga and Pilates studios have unique rhythms: class passes, drop-ins, series-based schedules, and members who value peace of mind as much as flexibility. Generic fitness software often fails to support these nuances.

That’s where Zen Planner stands out. Built for boutique studios, it simplifies every aspect of fitness studio membership software so you can stay focused on your practice—not your spreadsheets.

Core Membership Management Challenges Yoga Studios Face

Here’s how Zen Planner takes membership management to the next level:

    1. Overwhelming Admin Work

      Manually managing punch cards, credits, or attendance tracking across different class types can eat up hours weekly.

    2. Inconsistent Client Experience

      If your sign-up, scheduling, and payment flows aren’t smooth, your members feel it—and it impacts retention.

    3. Rigid Billing Tools

      One-size-fits-all billing systems don’t support the kind of flexibility yoga and Pilates clients expect (think intro offers, bundles, or recurring drop-in passes).

How Zen Planner Solves It All

Zen Planner’s membership tools are built for boutique fitness—here’s how they make your life easier:

Custom Membership Options

Create unlimited membership types, including:

  • Drop-in passes
  • Intro offers
  • Monthly auto-renew plans
  • Series-based packages
  • Unlimited class plans

You set the rules, and Zen Planner automates the rest.

Mobile-Friendly Scheduling and Booking

Clients can view class availability, sign up, and cancel with a tap. Instructors can see rosters and attendance from their phones. No more sign-in sheets.

Smooth Billing and Payment Tracking

With integrated payment processing and auto-billing, you’ll never chase down a payment again. Zen Planner even notifies members of failed payments.

At-a-Glance Member Insights

See who’s attending consistently, who hasn’t checked in lately, and who’s ready to renew. Engagement data is right at your fingertips.

Designed for Boutique Vibes, Backed by Powerful Tech

Whether you operate a serene single-room studio or a multi-room hybrid offering in-person and virtual classes, Zen Planner adjusts to your needs without bloated extras or technical headaches.
