Pick-a-spot layout planner
Sketch your reformer room, mark blocked or instructor positions, and see how many bookable spots you really have. Useful before you order reformers, before you sign a lease, and before you choose a studio platform that may or may not support pick-a-spot at your tier.
What pick-a-spot booking costs across platforms
Junocal Studio includes pick-a-spot at £79/$99 a month, the entry tier. Mariana Tek includes it but starts at £179–285/month per location. Mindbody gates pick-a-spot to Accelerate at ~£205/$259/monthand up — Starter doesn't have it. Momence and Walla treat pick-a-spot as a configuration option or paid add-on. Most tools under £60/month don't have real pick-a-spot at all; they fake it with class capacity counts. The planner below lets you sketch the room and see your bookable-spot count.

What the planner actually does
Pick a row × column grid or start from a preset. Click a spot to cycle through three states — active (bookable), blocked (unbookable), or instructor (where the teacher stands or runs from). The counters at the bottom give you live totals. Use the screenshot for instructor briefings, lease conversations, or as the reference when you configure pick-a-spot inside Junocal.
FAQ
What's the most common reformer room layout?
Two rows of 5 reformers (10 spots) is the most common boutique configuration. It fits a 5-6m wide room comfortably, lets the instructor see every client without walking, and balances class economics against intimacy. 12-spot rooms (3×4 or 2×6) appear in larger studios; 8-spot rooms work for smaller spaces and premium pricing.
Why mark spots as 'blocked'?
Some reformers might be unbookable for specific classes — pillar in the way, AC vent above the spot, reformer in maintenance, or a quiet spot reserved for postnatal clients. Marking it blocked rather than removing it from the layout keeps the floor plan honest and lets the booking system handle exceptions.
What does pick-a-spot booking cost across platforms?
Junocal: included at £79/$99 Studio tier. Mariana Tek: included at £179–285/month entry tier. Mindbody: requires Accelerate tier at ~£205/$259/month and up (Starter doesn't have it). Momence and Walla: varies by configuration, sometimes a paid add-on. Most cheap tools (under £60/month) don't have real pick-a-spot at all — they fake it with class capacity counts.
Why does pick-a-spot matter for reformer specifically?
Reformer clients form attachments to specific spots — corner spots for privacy, end-of-row for ease of entry, away-from-AC for warmth. Studios that don't offer pick-a-spot lose retention to studios that do, because regulars feel reduced to a generic seat. For mat-based yoga or barre, pick-a-spot is much less important; for reformer it's load-bearing.
