BUYER'S GUIDE

Best Pilates studio software in India: 9 options compared

Last verified: 25 September 2026

Disclosure. We make StudioFly. We've included it, and we've tried to be fair to everyone else.

A reformer studio runs on a few machines, so the booking details matter more than in most studios: small-group capacity, packs, private and duet sessions, waitlists, and what a late cancellation costs. In India, so do rupee pricing, UPI, GST invoices and WhatsApp reminders.

We checked nine options, StudioFly included, against the same criteria, India first, using only each product’s own pages. This isn’t a ranking. Each product sits under the kind of studio it suits best. Several international platforms list reformer features StudioFly doesn’t, such as choosing a particular machine, and we say so below.

Product names on this page are trademarks of their owners. StudioFly is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

HOW WE COMPARED

India first, then the studio itself.

We checked every product against the same 15 criteria, StudioFly included, using only the product's own website, pricing page, help centre or app listing, between 24 September 2026 and 25 September 2026.

India criteria

  1. Prices in rupees

    The vendor’s own prices are published in rupees. Partly means they’re quoted in rupees but not published.

  2. UPI payments

    Members can pay you by UPI, directly or through an Indian gateway such as Razorpay. Partly means UPI payments are only recorded by hand, or UPI is still planned.

  3. GST invoices

    Invoices to your members with your GSTIN and the CGST and SGST, or IGST, split. Partly means GST is mentioned, or a single tax label, without those details.

  4. Automatic WhatsApp reminders

    Fee, renewal or class reminders sent to members on WhatsApp automatically. Partly means they’re sent by hand, or WhatsApp isn’t available to studios in India.

  5. Support in India

    An office, team or support phone line in India, or support hours stated in Indian time. Partly means support that covers Indian hours without any of those, such as round-the-clock chat, or some help for India, such as onboarding.

  6. Total cost you can see

    A year’s cost can be worked out from the vendor’s pages: the subscription, the add-ons a studio needs and any payment fees. Partly means only some of it, such as a starting price or prices given as ranges. Not listed means quote only.

For Pilates studios

  1. Small-group capacity

    A capacity for each class, so a reformer class never books more people than machines.

  2. Choosing a machine

    Members choose a particular reformer or spot from a room map when they book. Partly means equipment is assigned to the class without member choice.

  3. Packs, intro offers and memberships

    Class packs whose credits come off automatically, intro offers and memberships. Partly means some of these.

  4. Private and duet sessions

    One-to-one sessions, and duets where two clients train together. Partly means private sessions without duets or multi-client appointments.

  5. Waitlists

    Listed means members join the waitlist themselves and are moved in automatically. Partly means one of those, or a waitlist run by staff or by notification.

  6. Cancellation rules

    A cancellation window, with a lost credit or a fee applied automatically for a late cancellation or no-show. Partly means a window without either.

  7. Member self-service

    An app or portal where members book, cancel and pay.

  8. Automatic trainer pay

    Trainer pay or commission worked out automatically from the classes or sessions taught. Partly means pay rates or payroll from hours logged by hand.

  9. Your own website

    Class booking, pack or membership purchase and product sales on your own website. Partly means some of these, or only a hosted page.

How we chose the products

We looked at the platforms built for Pilates and boutique studios that appear when owners search for Pilates booking software, and at the booking tools Indian Pilates studios use. In our class-price research, studios in Bengaluru book through Kenko’s Bookee pages and through Bookday.

For each product we read its own website, pricing page and help centre. StudioFly is included because we make it.

What “Listed” means

Listed: the product's own pages describe it. Partly: they describe some of it, or only as a paid add-on or on the roadmap. Not listed: we couldn't find it on the pages we checked. That doesn't mean the product can't do it, so ask the vendor.

For StudioFly we used the same standard: what studiofly.fit says, which is limited to what we've confirmed in the product.

What we left out

  • MyGymDesk, which is made by the same company as StudioFly, and Gymdesk, whose name is easily confused with it.
  • WellnessLiving, whose merchant processing lists the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia and New Zealand.160
  • Walla, priced in US or Canadian dollars only.161
  • Exly, a creator and coaching app rather than studio booking software.162
  • bsport and TeamUp, whose names collide with other things in search, under our naming rule.

IN FAIRNESS

When StudioFly isn't the right fit.

StudioFly suits many Pilates studios, but not all of them. If one of these describes you, look at the alternatives named first.

Members choose a particular reformer

StudioFly lets members book their own spot in a class, but not a particular machine, and there’s no room map.

Kenko, Arketa, Mariana Tek, Momence, ABC Glofox and Mindbody all list spot or reformer booking.5,32,53,75,110,131

You charge late-cancel or no-show fees

StudioFly can take a class credit for a late cancellation or no-show, but it doesn’t charge a fee.

Kenko, Arketa, Mariana Tek, Momence, ABC Glofox and Mindbody list late-cancel or no-show fees.26,32,70,90,115,134

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Your questions, answered.

Want to talk through your own setup?

Let’s have a conversation
What is the best booking software for Pilates studios?

It depends on what your studio needs most. If members must choose a particular reformer, compare the platforms that list machine choice. If you need UPI, GST invoices and WhatsApp reminders in India, compare those, which is where the options differ most. This guide groups nine options by the kind of studio each suits; it isn’t a ranking. We make StudioFly, one of the nine.

Which Pilates software lets members choose a reformer?

Kenko, Arketa, Mariana Tek, Momence, ABC Glofox and Mindbody list spot or reformer booking. On Mindbody it’s on the Accelerate plan, and Kenko’s help centre calls it a premium feature. StudioFly lets members book their own spot in a class, but not a particular machine.

Which Pilates software works with Razorpay and UPI in India?

StudioFly lists UPI through Razorpay, Kenko and Bookday list Razorpay for studios in India, and YoActiv lists UPI collection. On the pages we checked, Arketa, Mariana Tek, Momence, ABC Glofox and Mindbody didn’t list INR pricing, UPI or Razorpay.

Which Pilates software handles private and duet sessions?

StudioFly sells private-session packages, including duo packages where two clients train together. Arketa and Mariana Tek list duets, and Kenko and Momence list appointments for more than one client. ABC Glofox and Mindbody list private appointments without duets.

Can I charge a fee for late cancellations?

Kenko, Arketa, Mariana Tek, Momence, ABC Glofox and Mindbody list late-cancel or no-show fees. StudioFly can take a class credit for a late cancellation or no-show instead, and doesn’t charge a fee.

How often is this guide checked?

At least every 90 days, and straight away after a known change such as an acquisition or a price change. The date at the top of the page is the last full check.
