“We redid all of our automations, all of our memberships, and built custom reports within Zen Planner…. Things just took off like a rocket ship.”

Gym owners growing with Zen Planner
“I demoed every major software platform out there, and a lot of them were clunky or glitchy. In our previous gym experience, we used a different software, and I constantly saw people frustrated—leaderboards were public, the system crashed, and it wasn’t user-friendly. I knew Zen Planner had to be smooth, reliable, and private when needed. After months of research, it was the clear choice. And to this day, it hasn’t let us down.”
“We no longer spend hours every week updating membership records and chasing payments. Zen Planner does it all for us, freeing up time for us to focus on growing the business instead of managing admin tasks.”

AI-powered marketing and retention tools
Capture leads, follow up automatically, and let AI handle routine questions around the clock, so no prospect goes cold waiting on a callback. Engage turns the busywork of member communication into something that runs itself.

Frequently asked questions
Mariana Tek is a boutique fitness studio management platform owned by Xplor Technologies, built for single-location and multi-location boutique studios. It offers scheduling, membership management, and marketing tools at a premium price point.
Mariana Tek targets boutique fitness studios, particularly cycling, HIIT, and yoga studios, that can absorb premium pricing for a polished booking experience. It is not built for martial arts schools, CrossFit affiliates, or gyms that need belt tracking, rank management, or community-focused retention tools.
The biggest differences are pricing and fitness type support. Mariana Tek is among the most expensive platforms in the market, with costs reported between $179 and $285 per location per month. Zen Planner offers comparable scheduling and membership tools at transparent, predictable pricing based on active members, with additional capabilities for martial arts schools, CrossFit affiliates, and hybrid gyms that Mariana Tek does not provide. See Zen Planner pricing.
Most studios complete the switch from Mariana Tek to Zen Planner within a few weeks. Zen Planner’s onboarding team manages data migration and setup to keep billing and member experience uninterrupted. See how we make switching to Zen Planner easy and seamless.
Zen Planner provides a dedicated onboarding team for the full Mariana Tek transition including data migration, staff training, and go-live support by US-based phone and chat.
Mariana Tek pricing is not publicly listed and requires a custom quote. Studio owners report costs between $179 and $285 per location per month, with some multi-location businesses exceeding $750 per month total. For growing studios and single-location schools, the combination of high cost, reported integration challenges, and inconsistent support leads many owners to choose Zen Planner’s more predictable pricing and fitness-focused feature set instead.
