Pack · 2 leftTwo different tools for two different studios.
Mindbody is one of the best-known platforms for fitness and wellness businesses. It covers a lot: online booking, card payments, marketing tools and a consumer app where people discover classes. For a large studio or a chain that wants all of that, it can be the right choice.
Ateliem is built for the other end: a studio or school with one location and a few teachers that mainly needs to know today’s classes, who came, whose pack is ending and who still owes. It is priced on the website, starts with a 30-day free trial without a card, and is set up in minutes without a sales call.
