Booking a class shouldn't be a stretch. Share your online page with students and have them book at ease!
Why use software for your pilates studio?
When you take the decision to start a pilates studio you will quickly realise that there is a lot to handle; Making sure the studio is clean, hiring instructors, getting students in at the right time and staying in touch with them, and keeping all your finances in order.
This can all feel overwhelming.
Purpose-built pilates studio software can help with that. It provides a clear overview of all the lessons that are booked and can send you reminders when lessons are coming up. Pilates studio reservation software helps you stay organised and gives you head space to think about other things. This can only make your students' experience even better.
“Don’t get interrupted during your pilates class, let your students book themselves online ”
When to use pilates booking software?
If you ever experienced one of the following situations:
- Students not showing up to their booked sessions: Due to poor communication, people forget their booked sessions and have double bookings. Pilates scheduling software can send a reminder and create appointments in students’ calendars to prevent no-shows and double bookings.
- An overwhelming amount of text messages and emails to respond to: When your students manually have to book classes, your phone will be filled with notifications constantly. With pilates studio management software, students can easily schedule their classes online and stop spamming you.
- Missing flexibility in your agenda: A lot of your students probably have a set weekly date and time to start their pilates session. It can be the case that this session has to be rescheduled due to personal reasons. Pilates management software is a great way to tell your clients in advance that the session is rescheduled or cancelled.
Benefits of using pilates studio management software
The benefits of using pilates studio management software are countless. Probably the most prominent one is the fact that you have a clear overview of all your booked sessions. Such a CRM for pilates studio's is a great benefit when trying to combine your personal appointments together with all the bookings that you have for your pilates studio.
Pilates studio software can also give an overview of your financial situation. The software can provide you with overviews of your earnings in certain time periods and even give the opportunity to request students to pay online.
Other benefits for your pilates studio are:
- Increased organisation and efficiency
- Reduced paperwork and phone calls
- Less no-shows
- More time for your students and less time spent on peripheral matters.
Set your own times, define your own pricing and run your pilates studio the way you want to
Which pilates studio software works best for my customers?
There are a few things to consider before choosing a pilates studio booking system. The most important ones: Convenience and ease of use.
Do students understand how to book a class? Do I know how the tool works? As soon as certain things are not clear, don’t use a system. The temptation to fall into old habits and schedule everything manually, will be significant. But remember, pilates studio appointment software is there to make life easier.
Apart from the convenience and ease of use, pricing can be a relevant factor to consider when making the decision, what sort of software you want to use. Try to stay away from software that charges a high commission per booking. Eventually, this cost will be passed on to your customers, and will hurt your customer retention.
