When a studio moves from fitDEGREE, keeping the timetable is not the same as preserving the member experience. Staff need useful booking and attendance records, while members may also rely on ways to interact between classes. Compare those needs separately so a stronger customer record does not get mistaken for a community feature.
Gomry gives studios a view of customer participation across regular classes and public programs. Bookings, prepaid purchases, attendance and messages provide context for the team, particularly when someone moves from an occasional event into regular practice.
The studio can sell an introductory workshop ticket and a separate pack for selected future classes. Customers choose eligible dates later and redeem credit when reserving a place. Staff can follow the resulting purchases and attendance in the customer record. A community feed or member-to-member chat serves another purpose: it supports interaction between visits. Studios relying on that social experience should compare it explicitly.
Walla combines studio operations with marketing and re-engagement tools. Momence covers different booking formats with capacity restrictions and automated waitlists.
Which alternative fits your business?
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| Customer history connecting regular classes with public programs | Gomry |
| Retention workflows and the staff’s response to changing attendance are the main concern | Walla |
| Classes, courses and private appointments require different booking rules | Momence |
Preserve the community experience as well as the timetable
A studio app can be more than a reservation tool. If customers interact through community features, replacing it changes how they encounter other members and communicate with the business. The decision should establish which interactions are important and which could move to another channel. The staff still need accurate scheduling and purchase records underneath that experience.
What fitDEGREE already covers
fitDEGREE describes group and private scheduling, instructor assignments, room availability, payment records and reporting for independent boutique studios. Its community offering includes a private feed, invitations and chat within the member app.

How prepaid visits work
- Eligibility: The business selects one Experience or a pool. The balance is shared across those eligible Experiences.
- Reservation: The customer chooses a session and redeems credit during checkout. The reservation consumes actual capacity.
- Terms: The business can define expiry and the ticket tier used for redemption.
- Changes: Existing buyers retain their purchased terms. Stopping new sales does not remove their remaining credit.
- Sales: Bundles can be sold online or through Gomry POS. Credits apply to Experiences rather than one-off Events.
For recurring class access, Subscriptions combine recurring billing with an unlimited or per-cycle visit allowance. Membership Levels provide an organization-wide member status. These are available alongside prepaid Bundles, so choose the offer around how often customers attend and what their purchase includes.

Is a customer record a replacement for a member community feed?
No. Gomry Contacts describes the person’s purchase, attendance and message history with the business. fitDEGREE’s community product also includes a private feed, invitations and chat. A studio that relies on member-to-member interaction needs to preserve that experience explicitly rather than assume every customer-management feature delivers it.
Moving from fitDEGREE: costs and existing purchases
Preserve existing customer purchases independently of community content. Upcoming bookings and unused credit remain obligations even if the app experience changes. Include any new member-app or community tool in the cost if replacing the existing social features is part of the move; a booking system alone does not account for that work.
