bsport vs Mindbody

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.

Questions to ask both

  1. 1.What does it cost in total for a studio my size, including add-ons, payment processing and a branded app if I want one?
  2. 2.How long is the contract, and what notice does it need to end?
  3. 3.Can I export my members, their remaining credits and my booking history, in what format, and at what cost?
  4. 4.Who holds my members’ card or Direct Debit details, and can they be transferred if I leave?
  5. 5.Who sets it up: me, from a help centre, or a person working with me?

bsport vs Mindbody: your questions

Which is better for a reformer studio, bsport or Mindbody?+

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.

Which is cheaper, bsport or Mindbody?+

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.

Can I move from bsport to Mindbody, or the other way?+

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.

Is there an alternative to both?+

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.

Where Strong OS fits

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.
