bsport is a modern platform for boutique fitness, from yoga and reformer to cycling and boxing, and supports multi-site groups and franchises, with a branded member app. Mindbody reaches beyond fitness into wellness and beauty, and brings a consumer app and ClassPass for finding new clients. A boutique fitness studio is usually choosing between a focused boutique product and the reach of Mindbody’s marketplace.
Written by Strong OS, which competes with both. Every fact about bsport and Mindbody is taken from their own websites as of September 2026. Products change, so check anything that matters with them directly.

“Ask” means the company doesn’t say on its own site, so we won’t guess.
bsport
Boutique fitness studios and multi-site groups that want a modern product and their own branded app.
Mindbody
Businesses that mix fitness with wellness or beauty, and studios that rely on the Mindbody app or ClassPass for new clients.
bsport is built around boutique fitness, reformer included. Mindbody is broader and brings a consumer marketplace. If the marketplace brings you clients, that counts for Mindbody; if it does not, a focused boutique product is usually the easier day-to-day. Demo both on your own timetable.
We don’t quote other companies’ prices, and both change them. Ask each for a written quote for your size of studio that includes add-ons, payment processing and the contract term, then compare the total over the whole term rather than the monthly headline.
Yes, studios move between them. Before you commit, ask the platform you are leaving what you can export and in what format, and whether your members’ payment details can be transferred. Do the export while your account is still active.
Yes. Strong OS is studio software for single studios that run a timetable of classes, set up for you by a real person. It has no consumer marketplace, so if Mindbody’s app brings you clients, weigh that up.
Strong OS does one thing: it runs a single studio that lives off its timetable. Class packs and credits tracked per class type, waitlists that refill a dropped place on their own, memberships, payments, check-in and a member app, in one place rather than a base product plus the modules you end up needing.
And it is set up for you. A real person moves your members across with the classes they have left, builds your timetable, memberships and packs with you, and picks up the phone afterwards. Worth a demo on your own timetable before you sign with bsport or Mindbody.
