Run It From Anywhere
Your studio, in your pocket.
The Inpulsd iOS app works for both sides. Members book and pay from their phone. You build classes, manage bookings, and run live streams from yours. Everything you can do on the web, you can do on iOS.
Instructor app
Build classes with Studio Muse, manage bookings, take payments, run class mode, all from your phone.
Member app
Members browse your schedule, book classes, pay, and join live streams from a real native app, not a clunky web page.
Included on every plan
No add-on fee. Mindbody charges $100 to $300 a month for a branded app. We don't.
Why Instructors Choose Inpulsd
All the tools you need. None of the complexity.
Enterprise platforms are built for big gym chains. Inpulsd was created by Mat Pilates instructors who needed something simpler, and more creative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
How does Inpulsd make money?
Two ways. On the free plan, we charge a processing fee when your members pay for classes: 5.9% + $0.30 per transaction on your first $5K each month, then just 4% flat on everything above that. On the $29/month Pro plan, the flat fee covers everything. Either way, every feature is included.
Which plan should I pick?
If you want members to book and pay in one place with zero setup cost, start free. If you already collect payments through Venmo, cash, Zelle, or your studio pays you directly, the $29/month Pro plan gives you all the tools without touching Stripe.
Why does the processing fee drop at $5K?
Because growing your business should not mean growing your costs at the same rate. Once you process $5K in a month, everything above that drops to a flat 4% with no per-transaction fee. It happens automatically. No upgrade needed.
Why is 5.9% higher than Stripe's standard rate?
Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 on their own. Our 5.9% is inclusive of Stripe's cut and covers the entire platform: AI class builder, live streaming, scheduling, music integration, member management, and support. Other platforms charge $139 to $699/month PLUS their own processing fees on top. We rolled everything into one rate. Or skip processing entirely for $29/month.
Is my members' payment data safe?
All payments on the free plan are processed by Stripe, the same company trusted by Amazon, Shopify, and Instacart. Your members' card numbers never touch our servers. Stripe is PCI Level 1 certified, the highest level of payment security.
Do you support international instructors?
Yes. On the free plan, Stripe supports payouts to bank accounts in 46+ countries in local currency. If you're teaching from Bali, London, or Sydney, you get paid directly to your local bank. On the Pro plan, you handle payments however works best in your country.
Can I switch from Mindbody / Vagaro / WellnessLiving?
Yes. Export your client list as a CSV from your current platform, then import it into Inpulsd. Most instructors complete the switch in one afternoon. You can also run both platforms simultaneously during transition. Zero risk, zero downtime.
Will I lose my members during the switch?
No. Your members follow YOU, not software. When you import their info, they receive an email inviting them to your new booking system. One click and they're on Inpulsd.
I'm locked in a Mindbody contract. What do I do?
Start your free Inpulsd account now. Build your classes, import your client list, get comfortable. When your Mindbody contract ends, you're already running. No gap, no rush, no stress.
What is Studio Muse?
Studio Muse is your AI creative partner. Tell it what you need ("A 45-minute intermediate mat class focusing on core and flexibility") and it builds a complete routine with exercises, cues, timing, and transitions. It adapts to who you're teaching: seniors, beginners, athletes. It's the creative partner that's always inspired, never burned out.
What is Open Mat?
Open Mat is our sub-cover tool. When an instructor calls out sick, the studio auto-lists the class for coverage. Qualified instructors in the area see the opening and can claim it instantly. No more group texts, no more scrambling for a sub. Your class stays covered, your members stay happy.
Can I use my own music?
Yes. Connect Spotify or Apple Music and Studio Muse curates BPM-matched playlists synced to your class energy. Use your saved songs or discover new ones from the full catalog.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes. The Inpulsd iOS app is on the App Store. It works for both instructors and members. Instructors can build classes, manage bookings, take payments, and run class mode from their phone. Members can browse your schedule, book classes, pay, and join live streams. Included on every plan with no add-on fee. Android is on the way.
Can my members book from their phone?
Yes. They can use the native iOS app or any mobile browser. Most class bookings happen on phones, so we built both paths to feel fast and clean. Your branding shows up in the app, not ours.
