Why studios leave Mindbody

Mindbody is powerful, but it is built for larger, multi-location businesses - and small studios can end up paying for complexity they never touch.

The price keeps climbing.

Plans start around $99/month per location and can grow with add-ons. For a solo trainer or single-location studio, much of that spend may go to features that sit unused.

Processing fees quietly eat your margin.

The monthly subscription is only half the bill. Card processing is the other half - and it is where SIXPAC can help you find real savings.

It is more software than you need.

Multi-location tooling, a steeper learning curve, and a dashboard built for staff you may not have can slow down a smaller studio.

Your subscription is not the expensive part. Your processing rate is.

Most studios compare monthly subscription prices and stop there. But if you run $30,000/month through cards, the difference between a 2.9% blended rate and SIXPAC's 1.85% card-present rate is the line item that actually moves your P&L.

The processing difference can matter more than the software subscription.

Stop paying for a stack

The typical small studio is running a booking tool, a payment processor, a billing system, a document tool, and a spreadsheet - and stitching them together by hand.

📅

Booking

Let clients schedule classes, appointments, services, and sessions while keeping availability easier to manage.

💳

Billing and payments

Connect deposits, invoices, recurring billing, payment pages, and in-person payments to the same customer record.

🔁

Memberships

Manage memberships, packages, punch passes, renewals, and customer balances without a separate billing tool.

📊

Reporting

See bookings, payments, customers, packages, and sales activity in one connected dashboard instead of piecing the story together later.
