CRM for boutique fitness studios
A boutique-studio CRM that respects the intimacy of your business
Boutique studios live and die on personal relationships — remembering names, milestones, injuries, comeback moments. GymManage Pro keeps that texture in one clean CRM instead of a Mindbody export and a whiteboard of sticky notes.

Why boutique studios outgrow spreadsheets fast
You start with 30 regulars. You know every name. You upsell six-week series in person. Then you cross 100. Then 200. Suddenly you can't remember who signed up for the January challenge, who paid, who ghosted after week two.
Enterprise platforms (Mindbody, ClubReady) solve this, but they were built for chains. You get a $269/month bill, a two-week onboarding, and a UI your front-desk staff resents on day one.
GymManage Pro sits between the spreadsheet and the enterprise suite. It handles the same client-relationship problems — packages, renewals, follow-ups, retention — without the enterprise tax.
Retention is a boutique's #1 growth lever
Boutique studios spend most of their marketing budget acquiring members who churn in 90 days. A 5% retention lift is usually worth more than a 20% acquisition lift, and it costs nothing extra.
GymManage Pro's renewal nudges, missed-visit alerts, and lapse detection are designed for exactly that. Members who go 10 days without a visit surface on your dashboard, so a quick text pulls them back before they're gone for good.
Doesn't replace your class-booking tool — sits beside it
Keep your existing class scheduler (Mindbody, ClassPass integrations, Punchpass). GymManage Pro handles the CRM layer — pipeline, renewals, notes, payments — that most booking tools do badly.
What you actually get
- Member database with visit frequency and last-attended date
- Package + intro-offer tracker
- Automatic lapse detection (no visits in 10 / 30 days)
- Renewal automations for series, memberships, unlimited passes
- Trial pipeline — Intro Offer → Active → At Risk
- Notes per member (injuries, milestones, preferences)
- Multi-instructor seats with per-client permissions
- Stripe payment status on every profile

Who this is for — and who it isn't
Great fit if…
- Single-location boutique — barre, spin, HIIT, functional, F45-style
- 50–500 active members
- You already have (or don't need) a class booking tool
- You want to focus on retention, not enterprise features
Not for you if…
- You need a public class-booking marketplace
- You run 5+ locations with retail POS
- You require built-in payroll for staff
Pricing
Free for the first 25 members. Studio plan is $79/month with multi-trainer seats and advanced retention reporting — meaningfully cheaper than Mindbody's Starter tier.
FAQ
Do we ditch Mindbody?
Not necessarily. Many studios keep Mindbody for booking and payments and run GymManage Pro as the CRM layer for retention and follow-ups.
Can front-desk staff use it?
Yes — the Studio plan includes multi-user seats. Front desk can update member notes, check in trial visits, and mark renewals.
How does lapse detection work?
You set a threshold (say, 10 days without a visit). Members who cross it surface in a 'reach out' list on your dashboard.
Do you integrate with our class scheduler?
We import via CSV and are working on direct Mindbody / Punchpass sync — most studios re-import monthly and it takes 30 seconds.
Can it handle intro-offer conversions?
Yes. Track every intro-offer buyer, see when the offer expires, and trigger a follow-up sequence before they lapse.
Is there a discount for annual billing?
Yes — two months free on annual.
Can we migrate off if it doesn't work?
Every workspace can export a full CSV any time — your data is never held hostage.
