fitDEGREE Spot Booking: Visual Class Reservations for Fitness Studios

fitDEGREE Spot Booking is a visual class reservation add-on that lets fitness studio clients select their exact spot on an interactive studio map before class. Spot Booking displays instructor positions, equipment layouts, friend locations, and available seats — transforming class registration from a generic list into an engaging, map-based experience. Available as a to the fitDEGREE studio management platform.

How fitDEGREE  Spot Booking Works

When building fitDEGREE, we focused on three things
  • Upload Your Floor Plan: The studio owner uploads a floor plan or room layout for the class space.
  • Create an Interactive Map: fitDEGREE converts the layout into an interactive map showing seats, stations, bikes, mats, or equipment.
  • Client Opens the Class in the App: When a client selects a class, they see the visual map instead of only a standard booking list.
  • Choose a Spot: Clients can view available spots, friend locations, instructor position, and equipment layout before selecting their reservation.
  • Instructor Reviews Assignments: Before class begins, instructors can review spot assignments for a smoother check-in process and more personalized experience.

Feature fitDEGREE Mindbody Mariana Tek
Visual Studio Map Yes Limited Yes
Friend Location Display Yes No No
Equipment Layout View Yes No Yes
Add-On Pricing $75/mo Varies Included or custom

fitDEGREE Spot Booking is designed for in-studio group classes with defined spots such as mats, bikes, reformers, or stations. It is not intended for open-floor classes, virtual sessions, or one-on-one training sessions without assigned spaces.

Spot Booking Use Cases

Cycling Studio

A cycling studio can map all bikes in the room so clients choose the bike they want before class. Members can book near friends, near the instructor, or near a preferred screen view.

Yoga Studio

A yoga studio can map mat spaces so members reserve their preferred location in the room. This helps clients plan around mirrors, speakers, exits, or social preferences before they arrive.

When building fitDEGREE, we focused on three things

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

Are there any discounts for new businesses?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

Yes! We want to support new businesses entering the industry and provide them a 3 month, 50% off discount. New businesses are defined as a business that is just opening and does not currently have a management software in place.

Will I have help getting set up?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

Yes, Yes, Yes! Our team is here to help you in any way we can! So… What do we offer you? As you kick off your fitDEGREE journey you will get 3 dedicated sessions with a member of our onboarding team. In these sessions you will have an initial onboarding, a follow up, and a launch strategy call. Now, we fully understand that no process is the same, so if you need additional time and checkin between calls, no sweat! We can do that!

What is the typical onboarding process?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

The typical journey is 3 sessions of 45 minutes or less each. Session 1, your initial onboarding, your goal is to begin inputting your business model into the software with your Onboarding Specialist. Often you spend most of your time in Setup building your class and pricing model. In session 2, your follow up, the Onboarding Specialist will open with any questions you have from your work in the admin and then close out the educational process helping you discover discounts, reporting, client accounts, and how to process sales. In session 3 you will then talk strategy. Our team will provide you with templates for your launch for your clients, your team, and your social media! The goal is for you to have a minimum of 3 calls and leave the process feeling well organized and ready to take on the transition process!

If I wanted to get started today, how long until I am up and running?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

We would love to have a simple X days or weeks answer to this, but the truth is that every process is different. So let’s break it down. A typical launch into a non-branded app can happen within 3 sessions. It is most often seen that these sessions are spread over 3 weeks, but you can also speed it up by doing multiple in a week if your schedule allows for this. A branded app launch though is contingent upon not only completion of 3 calls but also app creation. Our team always strives to have apps out by mid-month. Apps are created within the first week of the month and then approved by their app stores and then the studio can go live. Another reason a launch might move slower is if you request credit card data from your current software. This is a longer process which can take 2-3 weeks, so always consider this as well when planning your transition. Something else to consider is the complexity of your setup or personal schedule. Some clients can kick off after 3, 45 minute sessions, and others have additional checkins between their calls because they did not have as much time per day or week to dedicate to getting their business model into the admin. The truth is, you can go as fast or as slow as your schedule allows with added constraints of 1) a branded app creation timeline, and 2) any requested data being needed from your current software.

What’s included in the free data transfer?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

fitDEGREE includes the transferring of your client list, your packs, and your memberships as a free service. fitDEGREE will also include credit card information transfer as a free service when entering the software.

When will I need to pay for a data transfer?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

When transferring over packs and memberships it is important that your clients have a client ID associated with them during the import process that we can use to connect their credit card, packs, and memberships to them. If you’re unable to work with our automation tool by having client IDs, then the cost associated with a manual data transfer for client pricing options is … 1 to 250 clients = $100 --- 251 to 500 clients = $200 --- 501 to 750 clients= $300 --- 751 to 1,000 clients= $400 --- 1,001+ clients = $500

What additional costs outside of fitDEGREE should I consider while transitioning?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

Something to consider is the costs of any additional integrations you utilize as well as your payment processing. Payment processing occurs per transaction on fitDEGREE and can be calculated as 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction on credit cards (typed or swiped) and a flat $0.50 fee for ACH payments. Integrations though are up to you. Additional associated costs with running your business via fitDEGREE would depend for example on what emailing platform you choose to integrate. So be sure as you plan your transition to consider the costs of fitDEGREE, the costs of payment processing, and the costs of any integrations you feel you cannot live without.

What does customer support look like?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

Our support team might be small, but it is mighty! Support for us is all-hands-on-deck. Monday through Friday you can count on a team member monitoring the support channel between 9am-5pm. Our team also performs weekend check ins but places priority on tickets which require more immediate attention. On any given day you can contact us via email at support@fitdegree.com or pre-schedule a support video chat with the team at https://calendly.com/fitdegree/support You can also contact our team members by phone, but we recommend email and pre-scheduled video calls for best service. Why? Because our team can provide the additional visual aids and clarification via these methods that we feel phone conversations tend to lack.

Is that really all it costs?

Plus Ico- Fit DegreeMinus Ico- Fit Degree

Yes! There are no hidden costs associated with signing up for fitDEGREE. After your initial setup fee, you will have a single monthly fee and a flat payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can clients book classes online using fitDEGREE?

Yes. Clients can book classes online through the fitDEGREE client app, web app, or embeddable website widgets.
Independent boutique fitness studios can embed booking widgets directly into their website, allowing members to log in, purchase sessions, and reserve classes without leaving the studio's branded environment.
Multiple access points reduce friction and improve class fill rates.

Do clients need to download an app to use fitDEGREE?

No. Clients are not required to download a mobile app.
fitDEGREE operates as a Progressive Web App (PWA), meaning members can access the full booking experience directly through a browser. The web app and mobile app experiences are nearly identical, with only minor navigation differences.
This flexibility allows boutique studios to serve clients who prefer either app-based or browser-based access.

Does fitDEGREE work on mobile devices?

Yes. fitDEGREE works seamlessly on mobile devices.
Studios can use the Progressive Web App, and clients may also download native iOS and Android versions for an app-based experience.
Mobile-first booking is essential for modern boutique fitness studios, where most registrations occur from phones.

Can members cancel their own bookings?

Yes. Members can manage their own schedule through the app or web app.
They can view upcoming sessions, cancel reservations, and track attendance history within their account.
Self-service booking management reduces administrative workload for studio staff.

Can boutique fitness studios set cancellation windows in fitDEGREE?

Studios can control registration windows and enforce cancellation policies.
While cancellations cannot be fully disabled after a specific cutoff time, studios can define policies for early cancellation, late cancellation, and no-call/no-show behavior. Fees can be assigned to each category.
This structure allows independent studio owners to enforce policy while maintaining flexibility.

Can I charge no-show fees automatically?

Partially. fitDEGREE can automatically generate a bill for a no-show or late cancellation.
However, the actual charge must be manually processed by the studio. This safeguard helps protect studios from automatic chargebacks while still enforcing policy compliance.
Additionally, any unpaid balance blocks future registrations until resolved, encouraging timely payment.
This approach balances revenue protection with risk management.

Can I manage waitlists in fitDEGREE?

Yes. fitDEGREE includes structured waitlist management.
Clients can join a waitlist for a full class. Studio staff can manually move members into open spots, or members can move themselves into a session when notified.
Waitlists help maximize class capacity and reduce revenue loss from last-minute cancellations.

Do waitlists automatically enroll clients into classes?

No. Waitlists do not automatically enroll clients.
When a spot opens, the next person in line receives a push notification and email with a designated response window. If they do not accept within that timeframe, the offer moves to the next person.
This controlled promotion system protects studios from unwanted auto-enrollments while still filling classes efficiently.

What is Spot Booking in fitDEGREE for boutique fitness studios?

Spot Booking is a visual class reservation feature within fitDEGREE that allows clients to select their exact position in a class.
Instead of simply reserving a seat, members can view a mapped layout of the studio and choose a specific reformer, bike, mat, or station. Spot Booking is especially valuable for Pilates, cycling, and equipment-based boutique studios where position matters.
This interactive booking model enhances transparency, improves client experience, and strengthens community engagement by making reservations more intentional and personalized.

Can clients pick their exact reformer, bike, or station?

Yes. Clients can select their exact piece of equipment or designated class spot.
Studio owners label each station within the custom room map and can even add notes or descriptions to specific equipment. For example, a studio might label "Reformer 1 -- Near Window" or "Bike 5 -- Back Row."
    This level of visibility reduces front desk questions and allows members to feel more comfortable and prepared before class.

    Can I create custom room layouts in fitDEGREE?

    Yes. fitDEGREE allows studios to build custom room maps from the ground up.
    You can design your layout to reflect your actual floor plan, including equipment placement, instructor position, and spacing. This is particularly useful for Pilates studios, spin studios, and strength training facilities with assigned stations.
    Custom layouts ensure that the booking experience accurately mirrors the in-studio environment.

    Can Spot Booking work for multiple rooms or studio spaces?

    Yes. Studios can create separate room maps for each physical space.
    Each map is assigned to a specific session type, meaning you can operate multiple rooms with their own unique layouts. However, only one map can be applied per session type.
    This structure allows multi-room boutique studios to maintain organization while keeping booking simple and intuitive.

    Can I disable Spot Booking for certain classes?

    Yes. Spot Booking is enabled per session on the calendar.
    When scheduling a class, studio owners can choose whether Spot Booking applies to all sessions in a series or only to specific dates. It does not automatically apply across every class type unless selected.
    This flexibility allows studios to use visual booking for equipment-based sessions while keeping traditional booking for workshops, seminars, or open-floor classes.
