The cleanest migration in the category
Mariana Tek and Junocal share the same scheduling primitives — pick-a-spot, four-mode policies, term-based courses, broadcast-claim waitlist, apparatus history. The migration is a translation rather than a remapping. Most single-location reformer studios go live in five business days with no data loss.
Shared primitives
Most migrations involve remapping data from one platform's model into a meaningfully different model. Mariana Tek → Junocal doesn't. Five scheduling primitives match exactly between the two platforms.
Pick-a-spot booking with floor plan editor
Four-mode cancellation policies (lose credit, charge fee, both, neither — per pack and per membership tier)
Broadcast-claim waitlist for spots opening inside the cancellation window, auto-promote outside
Term-based courses as a first-class scheduling entity (not a workaround over recurring classes)
Apparatus history per client, surfaced on the day-of staff roster
The data shapes match. The favourite-spot logic matches. The instructor briefing view matches. What changes is the price (£79 Studio versus £350+ Mariana Tek) and the contract structure (month-to-month versus annual).
What the migration actually involves
- 01
Pull the Mariana Tek exports
Mariana Tek provides standard data exports through the operator dashboard. We send you the exact menu paths. Takes 20-30 minutes.
- 02
Send the exports to Junocal
Secure upload through a migration portal. A person reviews before importing.
- 03
Dry-run review in staging
We import into a sandbox version of your studio with the floor plan, favourite-spot data, and apparatus history intact. You sign off on the data and the layout.
- 04
Configure the studio side
Branding, instructor accounts, the booking-page theme. Most of the operational config from Mariana Tek translates directly.
- 05
Pick a Sunday and cut over
Sunday evening cutover. Final data sync. Junocal goes live. The customer-facing booking page changes URL (unless you bring your domain across) but the favourite-spot memory and intake forms stay intact.
- 06
Cancel Mariana Tek at contract end
Either at the end of the current annual term or earlier via buyout. Parallel-run during the trial is the standard pattern.
Questions
Why is Mariana Tek to Junocal an unusually clean migration?
Because both tools share the same scheduling primitives — pick-a-spot floor plan, four-mode cancellation policies, broadcast-claim waitlist, term-based courses, apparatus history per client. The migration is mostly a translation between two similarly-shaped data models rather than a remapping from one model to another. Spot assignments, favourite-spot data, and apparatus history all carry across without manual reconfiguration.
Will favourite-spot data come across?
Yes. The favourite-spot data — which reformer a client has booked two or three times in a row, which is then suggested as their default on the next booking — exports from Mariana Tek with the client record and imports cleanly into Junocal. Clients see the same favourite-spot suggestions on Junocal from day one.
What about my reformer floor plan?
The floor plan configuration migrates as part of the data import. The spot mapping (named reformers, numbered positions, apparatus types) transfers; you sign off on the layout in the dry-run before going live. If your room has changed since you originally set up Mariana Tek, the dry-run is when to update the floor plan to match the current physical room.
What about my Mariana Tek annual contract?
If you're inside the term, you can either parallel-run during the Junocal trial and cancel at the contract end, or contact Mariana Tek about an early-cancellation buyout (typically available in the last six months of the term). Most studios choose parallel-run. The Junocal trial is 14 days no-card; the migration is free in the first 30 days.
Does Mariana Tek's Professional Services contract affect the migration?
If you've been on Mariana Tek's Professional Services tier (the bundled marketing services add-on), that contract is separate from the platform subscription and may have its own cancellation terms. We migrate the platform data either way; the Professional Services relationship is between you and Mariana Tek directly.
How does the migration handle multi-location data?
Junocal handles independent multi-location operations today with one account per location — each with its own branded URL, Stripe Connect, team, and pricing — plus free CSV export for owner-level cross-location reconciliation. Single-location Mariana Tek customers migrate cleanly into one Junocal account. For chains operating 3+ locations with single-membership-across-sites or central instructor scheduling, get in touch at hello@junocal.com to discuss the chain-architecture roadmap and current fit before planning the move.
Single-location Mariana Tek customer?
14 days free on Junocal. The migration is unusually clean — same primitives both sides. Most studios are running on Junocal within five business days at roughly a third the Mariana Tek annual cost.
