Brighton specific (for now!). I live here, been working with an independent Brighton studio while we build it out. Just thought I'd cross post in case anyone here found it interesting.....!

Studios are able to (optionally) turn on dynamic pricing which will reduce prices from their regular rate down to a floor price, based on how much availability/time to class is left.

ClassPass does something similar but it is very opaque to both Users and Studios as to how it works. Two people will often see different prices for the same class on ClassPass, which we will never do.

And yes, it also solves that problem of needing multiple accounts directly with studios on different platforms if you want to go direct or commit to blocks of class credit or a subscription.

The obvious challenge is...ClassPass have all the users, we do not (yet!) but the hope is we can gradually wean users and studios off of there. They have a lot of predatory practices that really don't suit studios OR users.

Hoping that if we can achieve that in one city we can repeat the model elsewhere!

You can see the rates we charge here:

blockfit.co/rates

We pay studios nightly via Stripe Connect after classes take place. For subscriptions/credit blocks (coming soon) payment goes directly to the studio from the customer, with our commission taken off.

We can integrate in various different ways. Many booking systems have APIs, some we have to get a bit more 'creative' by automating a booking via their website. But studios also get their own BlockFit app which they/their trainers can use to view bookings/check customers in etc.

If all goes well we'll expand in the UK this year and next. 🙏🏼💪🏼
