Free to start. No credit card required. We'll set you up with a sample club so you can explore before inviting anyone.
Boutique fitness studios shouldn’t have to pay enterprise prices or stitch together a booking tool, a payment app, and a group chat. core.club gives you class booking, memberships, and member communication in one simple place your studio can actually run.
What running a fitness club looks like today
Built for how your club actually runs
Class booking with waitlists
Members book classes from their phone and core.club caps each session automatically. When someone cancels, the waitlist fills the spot — so your best classes stay full without you managing capacity by hand.
Instructor scheduling
Build the weekly schedule, assign instructors, and handle subs in one place. Coaches see their classes and members always know who is leading the session.
Memberships, packages & drop-ins
Sell memberships, class packages, and drop-ins directly in the app. Payments and renewals are handled for you — the studio keeps its revenue, minus a low 2.5% as you grow.
Attendance tracking
See who booked and who showed for every class, and track attendance over time without a clipboard at the door.
Automated class reminders
Members get automatic reminders so no-shows drop and freed-up spots go to the waitlist instead of sitting empty.
Announcements & member chat
Post schedule changes and closures every member sees, and give members and instructors group and direct chat in the same app instead of scattered DMs and email.
One club, on the phone and the web
Members get a fast native app on iOS and Android; admins run everything from the same account on the web. No separate tools, no exports, no re-keying data between systems.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a boutique fitness studio?+

How do I sell class packages and memberships?+
Sell memberships, class packages, and drop-ins directly in the app. Payments and renewals are handled for you, so you are not tracking who paid in a spreadsheet or reconciling at month-end.

core.club is free to run. As your studio takes payments — memberships, packages, drop-ins — core.club charges 2.5%, capped at $250/month per location. There are no per-member fees and no setup cost.
Does core.club replace Mindbody for a small studio?+
For most boutique studios, yes. core.club covers class booking with waitlists, instructor scheduling, memberships, attendance, and member chat in one app — without the high monthly fees and complexity built for large operations.

core.club is a native app on both iOS and Android plus a full web experience, so members can book classes, manage their membership, and chat from anywhere — and staff run the studio from the same account.
