Mindbody alternative
Mindbody is built for fitness, wellness and beauty businesses all at once, with a consumer app for finding new clients. Strong OS is focused software for studios that run a timetable of classes: fast, simple, and set up for you by a real person.

Strong OS suits
A class-based studio that wants focused, fast software and a real person setting it up.
Mindbody suits
Businesses that mix fitness with wellness or beauty, and studios that get real new-client traffic from the Mindbody app or ClassPass.
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.
Download your client list, and remaining class credits with their expiry dates if Mindbody lets you export them. Do it before you cancel, not after.
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.
How memberships keep collecting depends on who holds the payment details today. We go through it for your setup before you pick a date.
You invite members when you are ready. They set a password and book from your booking page or the app.
Quick and uncluttered, so your front desk and instructors get the hang of it fast.
Class packs, credits per class type and waitlists, shaped around a studio timetable rather than every kind of business.
There is no consumer marketplace, so your booking page and app show your studio and nobody else’s.
Hands-on onboarding, your members and their remaining credits moved across, and a real person rather than a ticket queue.
Credit where it’s due: Mindbody covers a huge range of businesses, and its consumer app and ClassPass can send you new clients in a way we can’t. If that’s where your new clients come from, weigh it up properly.
Yes. We import your members with their remaining credits and expiry dates, build your timetable, memberships and packs with you, and set you up personally. Export your data while your Mindbody account is still active rather than after you cancel.
Yes. Strong OS doesn’t have one, so if the Mindbody app or ClassPass is a real source of new clients for you, that’s a genuine trade to weigh. What you get back is a booking page and app that show only your studio.
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.
Strong OS is deliberately quick and uncluttered, and we onboard you and your team personally. Judge it on a demo with your own timetable rather than on our say-so.
If you run a timetable of classes and memberships, yes. It’s built for pilates and reformer, and works just as well for barre, yoga and other class-based studios.
Book a 20-minute demo and we’ll show you exactly how a switch from Mindbody would work for your studio.
