Studio Management

Less stress at the front desk, more time in the studio.

Missed waivers. Late-cancel fee chase-downs. Instructor sub texts at 6am. Walla pulls every operations task that pulled you out of class into one screen, so the front desk stops running you.

Operations software for studios that aren’t gyms.

Walla is built around how Yoga, Pilates, Lagree, Barre, Cycling, and HIIT studios actually run. Not retrofitted from spa, salon, or big-box gym software that tried to flex into boutique.

Manage the day

Today’s classes, capacity, no-shows, and waivers on one screen. Automated late-cancel and no-show fees keep policies dialed in without front-desk arguments.

Sell the plan

Build intro offers, memberships, packs, and guest passes that actually convert. Pause, start, end, and upgrade plans with one click, no spreadsheet workarounds. Operations data becomes marketing fuel inside Marketing Suite.

Pay the team

Sub management notifies instructors automatically. Pay rate setup handles split rates, per-class differentials, and substitutes without rebuilding the spreadsheet every two weeks.

Run the day from one screen.

The All-in-One Dashboard pulls every class, waiver, fee, and tag into one view. The view that used to live across four tabs, three browser windows, and one notebook by the front desk.

All-in-One Dashboard

Today’s classes, capacity rates, expiring plans, failed payments, and waivers, all on one screen. The single view that used to require five reports and a manual export. Deeper analysis lives in Reporting.

Automated late-cancel and no-show fees

Customize fees by plan type, refund window, and policy. Fees collect 24 hours after class so you have a window to reverse or refund without an argument at the front desk.

Color-coded contact tags

Tag clients by status, location, intro source, lifetime value, or anything else you track. Use tags to drive targeted communication in Marketing Suite without rebuilding segments every month.

Tasks built into the platform

Front-desk task list lives in Walla, not a sticky note. Assign, complete, and follow up on the daily things that fall through the cracks when a teacher swaps cover.

Replaces the front-desk notebook and the four browser tabs.

The plan structure that actually matches your business.

Memberships, class packs, intro offers, guest passes, drop-ins, livestream-only plans, hybrid plans. Build them the way your community actually buys, then pause, start, end, and upgrade without breaking pre-payments.

Intro offers that convert

Customize intro length, price, classes included, and conversion sequence. Walla auto-tracks every intro from purchase to first class to membership, then triggers the right communication at the right moment.

Memberships with real flexibility

Custom pause, start, and end dates. Plan changes calculated as upgrade, downgrade, or even swap. Pre-payments stay accounted for when a plan resumes. No spreadsheet workarounds.

Guest passes that drive referrals

Add guest pass bonuses to any plan. Match the privileges and time of the parent plan automatically. Add guests to your database with one tap so the next class becomes a new client conversation.

Sub management and pay rates

Instructor requests a sub from the Instructor Dashboard. Walla notifies eligible instructors, tracks the swap, and pays the right teacher at the right rate. No 6am text threads.

Built around how studios actually sell. Not around generic SaaS subscription logic.

Pairs well with the rest of Walla.

Operations runs better when the platform behind it is connected.

Common questions, plain answers.

How do automated late-cancel and no-show fees work?
You set the rules once. Fees collect 24 hours after class so there’s a window to reverse or refund without a front-desk argument. Refund parameters are customizable so different plan types or member tags can have different rules.
Can I customize intro offer parameters?
Yes. Set the price, length, included classes, restrictions, and the conversion sequence that runs alongside it. Walla tracks every intro from purchase to first class to membership conversion in Reporting.
How does sub management notify instructors?
An instructor requests a sub from the Instructor Dashboard. Walla notifies eligible instructors automatically, tracks who covers, and updates pay rates accordingly. No 6am text threads required.
Can I tag clients by status, location, or anything else?
Yes. Create color-coded tags for anything you track — intro source, lifetime value, location, plan type, even teacher training graduates. Tags drive segmented communication in Marketing Suite without rebuilding segments every month.
Can I see today’s revenue without exporting?
The All-in-One Dashboard shows today’s bookings, revenue, and capacity in real time. For deeper analysis, every dollar is also tracked in Reporting with filters for plan type, location, and date range.
How do guest passes work?
Add guest pass bonuses to any plan. The guest gets the same privileges and time window as the parent plan. Add guests to your database with one tap so the next class becomes a new-client conversation.
Can I refund late-cancel fees after they’re charged?
Yes. Fees collect 24 hours after the class, which gives the front desk a window to reverse charges before they hit. After that window, you can still refund manually from the client’s profile.

Take the day off the front desk’s shoulders.
