Mindbody alternative for independent studios and freelancers

Mindbody is one of the most recognized names in fitness and wellness software. It has a large consumer marketplace, a broad feature set, and the depth that multi-location chains need. If you run a franchise with dozens of locations, Mindbody was built for you.

If you run an independent yoga studio, a dance school, a pilates instructor practice, or a small boutique gym, you are probably paying for a platform architected at a scale you do not need, and going through a sales process to access pricing that is not published anywhere. Zenamu is the Mindbody alternative for studios where the owner is also the instructor: a self-serve platform with a genuine free plan, transparent pricing, and a setup that takes minutes, not weeks.

The core difference is who each platform was designed for. Mindbody scales upward to enterprise fitness chains; Zenamu scales inward to independent businesses that want clean booking, recurring memberships, class passes, and online payments without hiring someone to configure the software.

Everything you need to run your studio or freelance practice

Zenamu includes classes, courses, workshops, 1:1 appointments, recurring memberships, class passes, attendance tracking, automated reminders, online payments, and embeddable booking widgets on every plan, including the free one. No add-on fees, no per-instructor charges, no contract required. If you want to see the full feature set before committing to anything, start free and upgrade only when your business actually needs it.
