bsport alternative

The bsport alternative built for studios that run classes

bsport is a modern platform covering a wide range of boutique formats, from yoga and cycling to boxing, as well as multi-site groups and franchises. Strong OS is narrower on purpose: software for studios that run a timetable of classes, set up for you by a real person.

Taken from bsport’s own website, September 2026. “Ask bsport” means they don’t say, and we won’t guess. Products change, so confirm anything that matters to your decision with them directly before you commit either way.

Who each is better for

Strong OS suits

A single pilates, reformer, yoga or barre studio that wants focused, fast software and a real person setting it up.

bsport suits

Multi-site groups and franchises, and businesses running many different boutique formats on one platform.

How switching from bsport works

  1. 1

    See it with your timetable in it

    Book a demo and we set Strong OS up with your own classes, so you judge it on your studio rather than a sample one.

  2. 2

    Export from bsport while you still have access

    Download your client list, and remaining class credits with their expiry dates if bsport lets you export them. Do it before you cancel, not after.

  3. 3

    We set it up with you

    Your members, their remaining credits and expiry dates go in, and we build your timetable, memberships and class packs with you. Nobody is emailed until you choose to invite them.

  4. 4

    Agree how recurring payments move

    How memberships keep collecting depends on who holds the payment details today. We go through it for your setup before you pick a date.

  5. 5

    Go live on a date you choose

    You invite members when you are ready. They set a password and book from your booking page or the app.

What comes across

  • Your client list: names, emails and phone numbers.
  • Remaining class credits and pass expiry dates.
  • Your timetable, class types, memberships and class packs, rebuilt with you.
  • Your booking page, in your studio’s name and colours.
  • ·Booking history and past payments stay in bsport, so keep your export for your records.

Check with bsport before you pick a date

  • When your current agreement ends, and how much notice it needs.
  • What you can export, in what format, and whether there is a charge for it.
  • Who holds your members’ card or Direct Debit details, and whether they can be transferred.
  • Gift cards, account credit and anything else that does not map cleanly between systems.
  • Which memberships and packs members actually use, so those are set up first.

Why studios and gyms switch from bsport

01

Purpose-built for classes

Credits per class type, class packs, waitlists that fill themselves and check-in, all shaped around a class timetable.

02

Simple to run

Clean and fast, so your team spends its time on members rather than on the software.

03

Everything in one place

Timetable, booking, memberships, packs, payments and check-in in one focused system.

04

Set up by a real person

Hands-on onboarding, your members and their remaining credits moved across, and someone who answers afterwards.

To be fair to bsport: it is a modern product, not a legacy one, with a branded member app and marketing tools. If you run several sites or a franchise, it is built for that in a way we are not yet. The case for Strong OS is a single studio that wants something simple and focused, set up with them.

Switching from bsport: your questions

How is Strong OS different from bsport?+

Focus. bsport covers many boutique formats and multi-site groups. Strong OS is built for single studios that run a timetable of classes, and it is set up with you by a real person rather than left to a help centre.

Is bsport not modern too?+

It is, and we would not tell you otherwise. For a class-based studio the difference is focus and simplicity, not age.

Can I migrate from bsport?+

Yes. Export your client list, and remaining credits with their expiry dates if you can, while your bsport account is still active. We import them, build your timetable, memberships and packs with you, and nobody is emailed until you choose to invite them.

Will members lose the classes they have left?+

Not if they are in your export. Remaining credits and pass expiry dates import with each member, so a member with six classes left still has six.

Do members have to re-enter their payment details?+

It depends who holds those details today and whether they can be transferred. We go through your setup on the call, before you choose a go-live date.

How long does a switch take?+

Mostly it depends on your export and your notice period with bsport. The setup is done with you, and you choose the go-live date.

Does it work for my studio type?+

If you run a timetable of classes and memberships, yes: pilates, reformer, yoga, barre and other class-based studios. If you run several sites or a franchise, look closely at bsport, which is built for that.
