Your Studio Deserves Better Than Mindbody
Mindbody charges $139-400+/month and buries your brand under their marketplace. FitSuite gives you class scheduling, membership management, automated checks, and a white-label app — all from €50/mo.
FitSuite is built for boutique studio owners who want a professional client experience without the enterprise price tag. Manage classes, retain members, track progress, and deliver your brand — not someone else's — through every touchpoint.
Sound familiar?
Mindbody costs more per month than some of your members pay, and half the features are designed for spa chains, not fitness studios
Your members find competitors through Mindbody's marketplace — the platform you pay for is sending your clients to other businesses
Setting up a new class type or membership tier takes 30 minutes of clicking through nested admin menus
Member churn is your biggest problem but your current software gives you zero insight into who's about to leave
You're paying per-transaction fees on top of your monthly subscription, so your software cost scales with every successful sale
Your studio's brand disappears behind the software's branding — clients remember the platform, not your business
Why choose FitSuite
Class Scheduling
Set up class types, recurring schedules, instructor assignments, and capacity limits. Members book through your branded app with real-time availability. Waitlists fill spots automatically when cancellations happen.
Membership Tiers
Organize unlimited, class-pack, and drop-in membership options, each with its own class access rules. Members see exactly which classes their tier unlocks in the app, so the right people get into the right sessions.
Retention Tools
Track attendance frequency, identify members who haven't visited in 2+ weeks, and watch for visit patterns that signal a member is fading. Spot churn risks early — before the cancellation email arrives.
Progress Tracking
Capture measurements, progress photos, and workout history for every member. Side-by-side comparisons give clients visible proof they're improving — the kind of tangible result that keeps boutique members renewing season after season.
White-Label App
Your studio's name, logo, and colors on every screen — not a third-party brand. Members see your business in the app, on booking confirmations, and on every workout they open. 19 languages supported.
Reporting & Insights
See which classes fill up and which run half-empty. Track attendance by class type, peak times, and member visit trends. Data-driven scheduling decisions without exporting to spreadsheets.
Why Boutique Studios Are Leaving Mindbody
Mindbody built its dominance by combining studio management with a consumer marketplace — clients discover studios through the Mindbody app, and studios get exposure. Sounds like a win-win until you realize the marketplace also shows your competitors to your existing members.
The pricing has become harder to justify too. Mindbody's plans range from $139 to $400+/month, with per-transaction fees on top. For a boutique studio doing $8,000-20,000/month in revenue, that's a significant chunk of margin going to software. Add marketplace competition, and you're paying a premium to share your clients with the studio next door.
Studio owners who've switched to standalone platforms report better member retention and lower costs. Without a marketplace pushing alternatives, members stay in your ecosystem. With a predictable flat subscription, your software cost stays the same as you grow. FitSuite offers everything a boutique studio needs to run the experience — scheduling, membership organization, retention tools, progress tracking, and a branded app — from €50/mo flat. No marketplace, no per-member surcharges, no surprises.
Building a Studio That Retains Members in 2026
The boutique fitness market is maturing. The studios that thrived during the post-pandemic boom are now facing a harder question: how do you keep members when the novelty wears off? Average studio churn rates sit around 30-40% annually, which means you're replacing a third of your membership base every year just to stay flat.
Retention comes down to three things: experience, convenience, and connection. Experience means great classes — that's on you and your instructors. Convenience means easy booking, clear schedules, and workouts members can follow between visits — that's on your software. Connection means members feel like they belong — and your software can help here too.
FitSuite's attendance tracking shows you who's coming consistently and who's fading. When a regular drops from 3x/week to once, you know to reach out before they cancel. Progress tracking through photos and measurements gives members tangible proof they're improving — a retention tool that costs nothing but moves the needle. And delivering workouts through the app extends the studio experience beyond class time, keeping members engaged between visits.
Start in minutes.
Launch your studio's branded app in a day
Configure your branding, set up your class schedule, create membership tiers, and invite your members. They download the app and see your studio — not a generic fitness platform.
Identify at-risk members before they cancel
Track attendance patterns and spot members whose visit frequency is declining. Reach out personally before they hit the cancel button — a 5-minute call can save months of membership revenue.
Run multiple class types with different access levels
Organize unlimited memberships, 10-class packs, and single drop-ins — each with its own class access rules. Members see exactly which classes they can book through the app, while you keep payments with your own provider.
Add nutrition coaching as a premium offering
Use meal planning to offer personalized nutrition plans as an add-on service. Generate plans in under 60 seconds per member — a high-margin service that differentiates your studio.

How does FitSuite compare to Mindbody for boutique studios?
Mindbody starts at $139/month with per-transaction fees and pushes your members toward competitors through its marketplace. FitSuite starts at €50/month flat — no per-transaction fees, no marketplace. Your members stay in your ecosystem.
Can I set up different membership tiers and class packs?
Yes — for organizing access. Create unlimited memberships, class packs with specific session counts, and drop-in options, each with its own class access rules so members only book what they're entitled to. FitSuite does not collect payments or run billing cycles in-platform, so you charge for these tiers through your own payment provider while FitSuite handles the scheduling and access side.
Does FitSuite help with member retention?
Yes. Attendance tracking shows you who's coming regularly and who's fading. Progress photos give members visible proof of improvement. These tools help you intervene before members churn — not after.
Will my studio's branding appear on the app, not FitSuite's?
Correct. White-label branding is standard on all plans. Your logo, colors, and studio name appear on every screen — booking confirmations, workout views, and the app itself. Members see your brand, not ours.
What does FitSuite cost for a boutique studio?
Starter is €50/month for up to 50 members. Advanced is €80/month for unlimited members. Both include scheduling, retention tools, progress tracking, white-label branding, meal plans, and 19 languages. No per-member or per-transaction fees.
Can I see which classes are performing well and which aren't?
Yes. Reporting shows attendance by class type, fill rates, and peak times. Use this data to optimize your schedule — double down on what's working, adjust or drop what isn't.
Your Studio, Your Brand, Your Platform
