In a yoga studio, instructors come and go — the studio owner stays
Most yoga studios don't keep instructors on payroll. You have 5-15 teachers who lead 1-3 classes a week with you and spend the rest of their time at other studios, online or running their own retreats. Great for them — logistical chaos for you.
What's wearing you out:
- Anna was supposed to teach 6pm tonight, but she just messaged that she can't. Now you're calling clients one by one to reshuffle the class.
- Karl asks for the 7pm Thursday slot, but you can't remember if it's already Maggie's. You check the spreadsheet, Google Calendar, your memory.
- End-of-month is a settlement drama — every instructor has a different rate, group classes vs privates, and you're crunching numbers at night because daytime is full.
Gymiti: one schedule, everyone sees open slots, everyone settles cleanly
Gymiti for yoga studios isn't "yet another app for clients to book classes" (the market has 50 of those). It's a system for you — the owner coordinating a dozen freelancers.
What this looks like after rollout:
- Karl opens his panel, sees 7pm Thursday is open, books it himself. No questions, no calls. He just reserves.
- Maggie can't book a room if it's already taken. The system won't allow it — headcount + room occupancy are hard rules.
- Monthly reports generate themselves per instructor. You click "export", issue a payout invoice, done.
Features that actually help a yoga studio
1. Multiple rooms, multiple instructors, one schedule
Two-room studio with 10 instructors? Each instructor sees their own slots + room utilisation. You see everything in one calendar.
2. Per-class capacity limits
Yin yoga capped at 12, hatha at 15, private 1:1 sessions — define capacity per class type.
3. Per-instructor rates
Maggie gets 50% of group class revenue, Karl is on a flat 80 PLN per class, Anna at 60% — set it once, the system handles the rest of the month.
4. Cancellation policy that works
Cancellation up to 12h before class — automatic. Inside 12h — only when the room would still be commercially viable (i.e. another booking already covers it). The system decides.
5. Client-facing schedule view (optional)
Clients can subscribe to an instructor's calendar (Google Calendar / iCal) to see when Maggie teaches yin at your studio.
6. Owner control with full visibility
Room utilisation stats, per-instructor monthly reports, full booking history — you decide who teaches at your studio and how much they earn.
Getting started
- Create your studio in Gymiti, add rooms (with their capacities).
- Define class types and per-instructor rates.
- Invite instructors by email — they complete their profile and see their schedule.
The full setup fits into one quiet evening with a cup of tea.
How it differs from Mindbody, Glofox, Bsport
Mindbody, Glofox, Bsport, ClassPass-for-studios — all great, but all assume either that you are the instructor or that your instructors are employees. Gymiti assumes something different: instructors are independent, rooms are the shared resource.
That changes how:
- Capacity is counted (per room, not per class)
- Settlements work (per instructor, with individual rates)
- The calendar behaves (each instructor sees their own + shared room availability)
FAQ
Can clients sign up for classes themselves?
Yes — you can enable public class signup; clients click a slot and enter their email. You can also keep it "instructor-managed" if you prefer tighter control.
What about class packs and memberships?
Gymiti currently handles the "room rental / session" model best. If you sell 10-class packs, you can track them manually in the client panel for now or wait for the upcoming pack feature.
Can I also run online classes?
Yes. Create a "room" called "Online (Zoom)" with capacity 30. The instructor pastes the Zoom link in the class description; clients receive it in their confirmation.
Does it work in English for international clients?
Yes — the interface is bilingual (PL/EN), each user picks their language.
How much does it cost?
See the pricing page for full details. Cost scales with the number of active instructors and rooms. 14-day free trial, no card required.
