the short answer

What boutique fitness software actually needs to do

Boutique fitness studio software handles class scheduling, pick-a-spot booking for bikes or stations, class packs and memberships, capacity and waitlists, intake forms (waivers, injury history), instructor scheduling, recurring payments and client communications. The structural decision is whether the studio runs scheduled class blocks (Junocal, Mindbody, Glofox, Mariana Tek, Walla, Momence are all class-first) or 24/7 access-controlled gym membership (a different category of tool).

Junocal includes class booking, pick-a-spot for bike/station, packs and memberships, waitlists, hybrid in-person + online, and recurring payments through your own Stripe Connect account on every plan from $15/month. No marketplace, no per-user fees, no annual contract.

scope is the wedge

Purpose-built for boutique class operations

Most generalist fitness software tries to serve both big-box gyms and boutique class-based studios from the same product. The big-box features (24/7 access control, key-fob check-in, anytime-attendance reporting) and the boutique features (pick-a-spot, booking that tracks how many spots are left, packs vs memberships) end up as parallel surfaces in the same UI, and the resulting complexity slows the daily workflow for both kinds of operator.

Junocal concentrates its depth on boutique studios running scheduled class blocks. That focus makes the product faster, more affordable and easier to operate across daily bookings, capacity, packs, memberships and instructor cover.

Boutique operators get a clean class-first system with direct Stripe payments, branded booking and flat published plans from $15 per month.

what junocal includes

The boutique-fitness essentials, on every plan

Six capabilities boutique class-based fitness studios actually use, included from the $15 Starter tier.

Purpose-built for class-based fitness

Junocal is built around scheduled class capacity, packs, memberships and reservation-based equipment. That class-first model gives HIIT, spin, strength, functional and hybrid studios a faster daily workflow centred on attendance and revenue.

Pick-a-spot on every plan

Bike position, lifting platform, HIIT bench, station number — clients pick their specific spot when they book. Drag-and-drop floor plan editor. Use a different layout per class type. If a bike or station breaks, bookings reroute automatically. Mindbody, Mariana Tek and Walla all gate equivalents to premium tiers; Junocal includes it at $15.

Class packs, memberships, and intro offers

Auto-deducting packs (5-pack, 10-pack, intro offer), auto-renewing memberships, members can use packs too, and self-serve member pause with a reason and auto-resume date. The three commercial structures most boutique fitness studios sell in parallel, on the same calendar.

Your own Stripe Connect account

ACH (US, 0.8% capped at $5) and Bacs Direct Debit (UK) at the standard published rates. Meaningful savings on the $150-$250 memberships boutique fitness studios sell. Junocal never holds funds or marks up processing — disputes route directly to Stripe.

Hybrid in-person + online

Set ten spots in the studio and thirty spots online. Clients see separate "Book in-person" and "Book online" buttons, each with its own spot count. Online attendees get the meeting link in the confirmation and the 24-hour reminder. In-person and online are counted separately — no overbookings, either way.

Waitlists with auto-fill

Two modes on every plan. When a spot opens with notice, Junocal automatically books the next client on the list (SMS + email). When it opens last-minute, everyone on the list gets an alert and the first to tap gets the spot. Configurable per class type — a popular morning HIIT class behaves differently from an evening strength class.

Questions

What software do boutique fitness studios use?

Boutique fitness studios typically compare Junocal (class-first, $15 entry tier, pick-a-spot on every plan), Mindbody (Starter from $99 per location), Vagaro (appointment-led, calendar-based pricing), Glofox (from $99/month), Mariana Tek (quote-led), and Momence (published platform fees plus processing). Junocal provides the clearest full operating core for independent studios, gyms and clubs from solo operator to ten locations.

What's the difference between boutique fitness software and big-box gym software?

Junocal is built around class capacity, packs, memberships, courses, intake, and reservation-based equipment booking. Big-box gym systems centre 24/7 door access, key-fob check-in, and unrestricted floor attendance. Boutique and class-led gyms get Junocal's focused workflow and transparent pricing; access-controlled groups should validate the door-access layer with Junocal before rollout.

How do boutique fitness studios avoid marketplace commissions?

By choosing software without a consumer marketplace. Mindbody charges around 20% commission (capped at $30/transaction) on bookings made through its consumer app by attributed clients. Momence has a similar app-discovered commission. Glofox runs marketplace-style discovery within ABC Fitness Solutions network. Junocal has no marketplace and no commission of any kind — clients book direct on the studio's branded page at junocal.com/yourstudio.

What is the best fitness studio software for small studios?

For small boutique class-based fitness studios (1-5 instructors, single location, scheduled classes rather than 24/7 access), Junocal offers class booking, pick-a-spot for bike/spot/station, packs, memberships, recurring payments through your own Stripe Connect account, hybrid in-person + online, and automated client emails from $15/month. No marketplace commission, no per-user fees, no annual contract.

Does Junocal work for HIIT, spin, or strength studios?

Yes. Junocal's pick-a-spot feature works for spin bikes, rowing stations, lifting platforms, HIIT benches, and other equipment layouts, with automatic rerouting when a station goes out of action. Growth supports up to ten locations; larger groups and access-controlled operations can contact Junocal to validate enterprise and door-access requirements against the rollout plan.
