For Studios
Free to list. We fill your empty classes — for $3 a spot.
Two ways PilatesNow helps you:
- Free discovery. Your full schedule, listed at full price, always — another place for people to find and book you, at no cost to list.
- We fill what's empty.When a class is under capacity, we surface it at a discount — you decide which classes, how early the discount starts, and how low it goes. Turn a bed that was earning $0 into real revenue, without lifting a finger once it's set up.
What it costs:Nothing to list. On every booking we send you — deal or full-price — 5% or $3, whichever is greater, plus standard payment processing (~2.9% + $0.30, same as any card processor). One consistent rate, no separate rules by booking type, and it's the same low rate on every single class we help fill. No monthly software bill, no negotiated wholesale rate, no contract.
How that compares, on the same $27 class:
| What you keep | What it costs you | |
|---|---|---|
| PilatesNow | ~$22.92 | $3 fee + your own ~$1.08 processing |
| ClassPass (negotiated rate, studios typically keep 40–74% of retail) | roughly $11–$20 | you're giving up $7–$16 per fill |
| Mindbody marketplace (20% commission, capped $30, plus ~3.5% processing) | roughly $20.65 | ~$6.35 — and a $99–$700/month software bill whether or not you ever use it |
PilatesNow costs studios roughly 40–75% less per filled spot than these alternatives — before even counting Mindbody's monthly software bill, which studios pay regardless of whether they ever use the marketplace feature.
We coexist with everything you already use. Keep your website, keep ClassPass, keep Mindbody. We never ask for exclusivity, and we never touch your pricing — full price or deal, the number you set is the number the customer pays.
Getting started is fast.Add a class once and set which days it repeats on — an MWF reformer class takes one form, not three. You'll answer two quick questions per class type — when discounting should start, and how low you're willing to go — and you're live the same day. Prefer not to type it in yourself? Happy to hop on a quick call and set your whole first week up with you.
