5Everything You Need
Class timetable, member direct debit, mobile check-in, trainer commissions and BAS-ready reporting — in one platform built for Australian fitness operators.
Build the weekly timetable once, repeat it indefinitely. Cap class size, waitlists fill automatically, late-cancel fees apply themselves. Members book and pay from their phone in two taps.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly direct debit. Pause, hold or cancel from the member portal. Failed payments auto-retry. Casual visits and class packs sit alongside recurring memberships in one ledger.
Members tap a QR code at the front desk or self-check on their phone. The system flags expired memberships, overdue payments and waiver gaps before they hit the floor. Front-of-house barely looks up.
Pay trainers per class, per head, per PT session, or as a % of revenue. Commission calculated against MA000094 rates with group-fitness loadings already baked in. Payroll export ready for Xero or MYOB at the end of the cycle.
Every visit, booking, payment and missed class against the member's profile. A churn-risk flag fires when attendance drops two weeks in a row, so you ring before they cancel — not after.
10% GST and your ABN on every receipt automatically. Memberships, casual visits, PT packs and retail all carve out cleanly at BAS time — a single PDF for your accountant, two clicks to export.
Simple Workflow
From first class booking to monthly direct debit in four steps — designed around how a typical Australian studio or gym actually runs.
Drop classes into the weekly grid, assign trainers, set capacity and pricing. Memberships, casual visits and class packs are configured once and reused indefinitely.
Your public booking page accepts class bookings, casual visits and new memberships 24/7. Payment captured upfront — direct debit, card or class pack.
Mobile check-in flags expired memberships and unpaid invoices. Trainers see the roll on their phone, mark attendance, log any 1:1 add-ons or retail sales.
Direct debits run on schedule, failed payments retry automatically, and BAS-ready reporting sits one click away. Trainer commissions auto-calculate from sessions worked.

Common questions about booking, membership and class software for Australian fitness operators.
Yes. The class scheduling, membership billing and mobile check-in engine is the same whether you run a 60-member yoga studio in Newtown or a 1,200-member 24/7 club in Parramatta. Capacity caps, waitlists, late-cancel fees and pack discounting all flex to your operating model. Boutique studios usually live in class packs + memberships; larger gyms lean on recurring direct debit + casual visit fees. OneBookPlus handles both natively.
Yes. The trainer commission engine respects MA000094 — Level 1–6 classifications, group-fitness loadings (currently 13% on top of base for instructors taking group classes), casual loading (25%), Saturday and Sunday penalty rates, and the public-holiday rate. Set each trainer's classification once and the system applies the right rate per session worked. Your payroll export to Xero or MYOB lands with the loadings already calculated.
No — Fitness Australia registration is a credentialling step for individual instructors and businesses (Quality Accredited Business scheme), not a software requirement. That said, most insurers will ask for proof of registration before issuing PL cover at the $10–20M level standard for the industry. OneBookPlus stores your registration number and renewal date on the business profile so it surfaces on invoices and member-facing pages where relevant.
Each class on the timetable has a capacity (set per class type — say 14 for reformer pilates, 30 for HIIT). When a member books, the seat is held against their account and payment captured (from membership entitlement, class pack, or casual rate). Once the class is full, further bookings flow into the waitlist in order. If someone cancels inside your cancellation window, the next person on the waitlist is auto-promoted and notified by SMS or push. Late cancels and no-shows trigger your configured fee policy automatically.
Mindbody and Glofox are the legacy heavyweights — feature-rich but priced from US$129–$300/month with steep learning curves and per-location fees. Hapana is the Australian boutique-studio answer at around AU$199–$399/month. OneBookPlus covers the same operational ground (timetable, member billing, check-in, CRM, commissions, BAS reporting) starting from $0/month on the Free plan and $69/month on Growth. The key differences: OneBookPlus bundles invoicing, GST/BAS reporting and the booking website in one place, where the others usually need Xero on top. For most independent Australian operators that's a $2,000–$10,000/year saving.
About the author
Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus
Bishal has over a decade of experience in digital marketing, web development, and small business consulting across Australia. He has worked directly with Australian fitness operators — independent personal trainers, boutique yoga and pilates studios, and multi-site gyms — helping them streamline class booking, member direct debit, trainer payroll under MA000094, and GST/BAS reporting.
If you run a gym, a yoga or pilates studio, or you're an independent personal trainer in Australia, the operational stack hasn't really changed in a decade. You're paying for Mindbody, Glofox or Hapana to handle bookings and membership direct debit, Xero on top of that for invoicing and BAS, a separate website builder for the public-facing booking page, and maybe Mailchimp for member comms. Each tool speaks its own language, none of the data reconciles cleanly at month-end, and you're paying somewhere between $250 and $500 a month for the privilege. OneBookPlus replaces the lot with a single platform built for how Australian fitness operators actually work — mobile-first, GST-ready, and aware of MA000094.
The platform covers the full member lifecycle from first booking to recurring direct debit and eventual cancellation (or hold, or reactivation — all handled automatically). A prospective member finds you through your public OneBookPlus booking page, picks a class or signs up to a membership, and pays upfront via card or sets up direct debit. The booking lands on the trainer's phone, the member shows up, taps a QR check-in at reception (or self-checks on their own device), and the system flags anything that needs attention — expired waiver, overdue payment, lapsed membership. The class runs, attendance is marked on the trainer's phone, any retail or PT add-ons go straight onto the member's tab. At the end of the cycle, direct debits run, failed payments retry, trainer commissions calculate against MA000094 rates, and the BAS-ready GST summary sits ready in two clicks.
Picture a typical Tuesday at a 350-member reformer pilates studio in Brisbane. You open the OneBookPlus dashboard at 6am over coffee — the 6:15am class is full with three on the waitlist, the 9:30am has two open spots, and there are four new casual bookings overnight. A churn-risk flag has appeared against one member who hasn't booked in three weeks; you queue a personal text. Your senior instructor opens her phone and sees today's three classes with the roll, equipment setup notes, and any flagged injuries against members. The 6:15 class runs, attendance is tapped in on her phone, one member picks up a retail tee on the way out and it lands on her account. By 10am the morning block is done, the afternoon timetable is set, and three new memberships have come in through the booking page overnight — direct debits already authorised and scheduled. At lunch you check the dashboard: 22 sessions delivered today, $1,650 revenue (memberships pro-rata + class packs + casuals + retail), two flagged failed payments auto-retrying tomorrow, and trainer commissions for the fortnight tracking $4,200 against budget. No evening admin.
OneBookPlus connects to your business bank account and pulls in transactions automatically. Direct-debit batches reconcile against member accounts — if a payment fails, the system retries on a schedule you set, and the member is notified by email and SMS. Expenses you log (rent, equipment, utilities, insurance, cleaning) are categorised and tracked against revenue, so you see real margin per class type rather than just gross turnover. GST is calculated on every invoice and receipt automatically — memberships, casual visits, class packs, PT sessions and retail all carve out cleanly. When BAS time arrives, the quarterly summary exports as a single PDF: GST collected, GST paid, and the net balance owed or refundable. Hand it to your accountant or lodge it yourself in minutes. Trainer payroll exports to Xero or MYOB with MA000094 loadings (group-fitness 13%, casual 25%, weekend and public-holiday rates) already applied.
Sign up in under a minute — no credit card required. Add your ABN, upload your logo, set your class types and capacity, plug in your direct-debit provider, and build the first week of your timetable. Import existing members from a spreadsheet or your old platform (we have one-click importers for the major incumbents) and members get a welcome email with a link to download the booking app. Most operators run their first class through OneBookPlus within a fortnight of signing up. The free plan covers up to 50 members so you can pilot it on a single class block before committing; the Starter plan ($29/month or $24 if paid annually) suits independent trainers and studios under 150 members, and Growth ($69/month) handles multi-site studios with trainer payroll, class-pack accounting, retail and member CRM at scale. Either way, it's a fraction of what you'd pay for Mindbody plus Xero plus your booking website combined.
