5Everything a Pilates Studio Needs
Bed-capacity bookings, pack credits, structured beginner programs, and posture tracking — designed for the way reformer studios actually run.
Cap reformer classes at your room's bed count (8, 10, 12 beds). Mat classes can run larger. When the room hits capacity, students roll to waitlist automatically — no double-booked beds.
Sell 5-class intros, 10-class reformer packs, 20-class mat packs and unlimited monthlies. Students can hold multiple pack types — the correct credit deducts based on which class they book.
Reformer beginners need a structured intro — three sessions a week, progress checkpoints, technique milestones. Build the program once, enrol students as a cohort, run it on autopilot.
Pilates results aren't deadlift PRs — they're hip flexion, shoulder mobility, plank duration, posture-photo deltas. Body-composition tracker captures the metrics that matter for pilates outcomes.
Reformer beginners get a 5-touch welcome sequence — what to wear, how to use the reformer safely, beginner-friendly class options, first-week check-in. Reduces beginner drop-off significantly.
Pack sales, drop-ins, 12-week program enrolments, monthly memberships — all GST-taxed at point of sale with ABN on every invoice. BAS preparation rolls up automatically.
See it in action
Not mockups — these are the real product screens for your day-to-day.
Reformer, mat, chair — each class type capped to its room's equipment count. Bed never gets double-booked, waitlist fills openings automatically.

Students hold multiple pack types in parallel. The correct credit deducts based on which class type they book — soonest-to-expire first.

Three sessions a week with posture-photo and mobility checkpoints at weeks 4, 8 and 12. Reformer beginners stay engaged when they see progression.

Effortless Setup
Up and running with bed-capacity bookings and pack credits in under an hour.
Define reformer, mat, tower and chair classes with bed/mat capacity. Each class type has its own pricing tier (reformer typically $40–50/class, mat $25–35).
5-class intro pack, 10-class reformer pack, 20-class combo pack, unlimited monthly. Set credit count, price, expiry. Multiple pack types per student is the default.
Bundle three sessions per week for new students with technique progression checkpoints. Pre-pay the full block or split into 3 monthly payments.
Body Composition Tracker captures posture, mobility, plank duration. Visible progress in the student portal = lower churn. At-risk alerts catch lapsers at 21 days.

Common questions about reformer pilates studio software.
Yes — the free plan covers class bookings, student CRM, GST invoicing, and basic dashboard. Class Pack Tracker ($9/mo) handles credit deduction, Body Composition Tracker ($5/mo) captures posture/mobility metrics, Member Check-in is free with Growth. Suitable for solo instructors through to multi-room studios.
Yes. Set capacity per class type (e.g. 8 beds for a reformer class). When a class hits its limit, it closes for booking and the waitlist fills openings from cancellations automatically. Students get notified when a spot frees up — fast enough that beds rarely sit empty.
Yes. With Class Pack Tracker, a student can hold a 10-class Reformer pack ($550) and a 20-class Mat pack ($400) simultaneously. The correct credit deducts based on the class they book — a reformer class deducts from the reformer pack, mat from mat. Soonest-to-expire credit is consumed first.
Build a program template with the class sequence and frequency (e.g. 3× per week for 12 weeks). Enrol a new student as a cohort entry; their bookings auto-create on the schedule. Progress checkpoints (week 4, 8, 12) fire reminders to log technique notes and measurements. Bills as a single block or 3 monthly instalments.
Body Composition Tracker captures the metrics that actually matter for pilates outcomes: hip flexion (cm), shoulder external rotation (degrees), plank hold duration (seconds), single-leg balance (seconds), posture-photo deltas (front/side/back at 4-week intervals). All visible to the student in their portal.
Yes. Pilates instruction is GST-taxable at 10% once you're registered (turnover above $75k). OneBookPlus auto-applies GST, prints your ABN on every invoice, and produces a BAS-ready summary each quarter. Sub-threshold solo instructors can skip GST until they cross.
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 with reformer pilates studio owners across Australia, helping them shift off USD-priced software onto bed-capacity-aware Australian tooling with proper pack-credit logic and beginner-program structure.
Reformer pilates studios live on bed-hours sold. Every reformer bed in your studio represents a 50–60 minute revenue unit that's either earning $40–50 (full class) or earning nothing (empty bed). OneBookPlus is built around that economic reality.
Set up each class type with its hard capacity — a 10-bed reformer room can run a 10-bed reformer class, but the same room used for a mat session might fit 20+ students. OneBookPlus enforces the right cap per class type. When a class fills, it closes for booking and the waitlist fills openings from cancellations automatically. For studios with rooms used in different formats across the week (reformer mornings, mat evenings), each class instance has its own capacity tied to its format. Equipment-aware capacity means you never accidentally oversell.
Most reformer studios run multiple pricing tiers. Reformer drop-in $45, mat $30, chair $50, private $90 — and the pack pricing varies accordingly. OneBookPlus lets each student hold multiple pack types in parallel. A regular might hold a 10-class Reformer pack ($550) and a 20-class Mat pack ($400) — the correct credit deducts based on the class they book. Class Pack Tracker handles the soonest-to-expire logic so dormant credits don't sit and rot.
Reformer beginners need structure or they bounce. The standard onboarding pattern is three classes per week for 12 weeks with technique progression. OneBookPlus ships a 12-week beginner program template you can clone — three weekly sessions, checkpoints at weeks 4/8/12, posture photos at start and end, mobility benchmarks captured at intake and re-tested. Enrol a new student as a cohort entry; the bookings auto-populate the schedule, the checkpoint reminders fire to your inbox, and the program bills as a single block or 3 monthly instalments. Studios using structured beginner programs typically retain 70%+ of intro-pack students into ongoing pack purchases.
Pilates outcomes aren't weight on the bar — they're hip flexion (cm), shoulder mobility (degrees), plank hold (seconds), single-leg balance (seconds), and posture-photo deltas at front/side/back angles. Body Composition Tracker captures the metrics that actually matter for pilates and surfaces them in the student's portal. A student who can see her hip-flexion improvement from 42cm to 56cm over 12 weeks is materially less likely to cancel her pack than one who can't see her progress at all.
The two biggest revenue leaks at any reformer studio: beginners who don't continue past their intro pack, and chronically-empty class slots that waste teacher hours. OneBookPlus addresses both. At-Risk Members surfaces lapsing regulars at 21 days no-visit, ordered by visit count — your most loyal lapsers top the list, ready for a personal re-engagement message. Capacity Planner analyses 8 weeks of booking history per class slot and recommends moves, duplicates, or kills based on real demand — with sensitivity for classes that have loyal attached regulars.
Reformer studios with employed instructors are bound by the Fitness Industry Award (MA000094) — base rates, casual loadings, weekend penalty rates. OneBookPlus respects the award when calculating wage costs per class and per teacher. For contractor instructors (more common in pilates than gyms), the system tracks classes delivered per pay period for end-of-month payment without payroll overhead. The contractor sees their own teaching history in the staff portal.
Pack sales, drop-ins, monthly memberships, 12-week program enrolments, private sessions — every transaction generates a GST-compliant invoice with your ABN. Studios above the $75k GST threshold auto-apply GST at 10%; sub-threshold solo instructors can skip until they cross. Quarterly BAS preparation rolls up automatically; year-end P&L exports to Xero or MYOB.
Bed-capacity-aware bookings, multiple pack types per student, 12-week beginner programs, posture tracking, GST invoicing — built for Australian reformer studios. Free to start.

Real-world scenario
How a Melbourne pilates studio owner uses OneBookPlus across a busy morning block
6:30am. Rachel's 10-bed reformer studio has every Tuesday/Thursday 7am class fully booked four weeks out. The dashboard heatmap shows 7am and 6pm as the two busiest 3-hour windows — peak demand. The 12pm class is at 4/10 utilisation, eight weeks running. Capacity Planner has flagged it: 'underperforming — consider moving to 5:45pm where demand is spiking'.
A new beginner walks in for her first reformer intro. The 12-week beginner program is preset on her profile — three sessions per week, technique checkpoints at weeks 4, 8 and 12, posture photos at the start and end. Rachel takes 30 seconds to add a starting hip-flexion measurement and the program is live.
At 9am, a regular's 10-class reformer pack is down to 2 credits. She gets the renewal nudge automatically with a one-tap top-up link. By the time her next class starts, the renewal invoice is paid. Meanwhile a student late-cancels inside the policy window; the cancellation fee applies automatically and the waitlist offers her spot to the next student — who confirms within four minutes.
Friday review: bed utilisation 78% across the week, beginner retention at week-4 checkpoint 82%, no-show rate 2%, all four February intro-pack students still active. Rachel approves Capacity Planner's recommendation to move the underperforming 12pm class.
