Everything your studio needs to run bookings
HealthStudio is built specifically for South African pilates, gym, yoga, and personal training studios — with every feature you need and nothing you don't.
Booking & real waitlists
HealthStudio provides real-time slot booking so clients see live availability and can claim a spot the moment it opens. When a class is full, clients join an ordered waitlist — not a chaos scramble where whoever texts first wins. Waitlist spots are automatically promoted on cancellations, with configurable claim windows that give members time to confirm before the next person is offered the spot.
Attendance & roster check-in
Replace paper rosters and manual name-calling with a live class roster on the instructor's phone. The instructor opens the roster, taps each client present or no-show, and attendance is recorded instantly. Every check-in feeds fill-rate and no-show reporting — and lands on the monthly trainer logbook with client names — so you know which classes are actually delivering value.
Credit packs, split payment & on-account billing
HealthStudio bills the way South African studios actually collect money: clients buy a pack of credits and spend them per class, pay cash at the door, or split a class between their credit balance and a card top-up for the shortfall. For regulars a studio trusts, owners can put a client on account — they book freely through the month and get one invoice at the end of it, each with its own secure payment link.
Payments — Paystack in ZAR
Every payment in HealthStudio flows through Paystack, the leading payment processor for South African businesses. Settlements land in your ZAR bank account without currency conversion friction. Cards are stored on file so clients can split-pay without re-entering details, and credit packs can be purchased instantly. No international processor, no Forex headaches — just local payments that work.
A real instructor role
Most booking tools treat instructors as a sub-type of admin, which either gives them too much access or forces constant owner involvement. HealthStudio has a purpose-built instructor role with scoped permissions: instructors see and manage their own schedule, take attendance for their classes, set availability windows, and view their client rosters — without seeing billing data, other instructors' classes, or studio configuration.
The client web app & public booking page
Your clients get a mobile-optimised web app to book classes, join and track their waitlist position, see their credit balance, and manage upcoming bookings — with nothing to install. No app store, no downloads, no forced updates: they tap your studio's link and they're booking. Every studio gets a public-facing booking page at a clean URL, white-labelled with your studio's name and colours.
Built for your studio type
The same core platform, purpose-tuned for how each studio type actually runs.
