Class pack

A class pack is a pricing option where clients purchase a set number of class credits in advance, which they can use over time to book sessions.

It gives clients flexibility while allowing studios to receive payment upfront.

What is a class pack and how does it work?

A class pack is a bundle of visits that clients can use to attend classes.

Here’s how it works:

• A client purchases a pack (e.g. 10 classes)
• The system adds credits to their account
• Each booking uses one credit
• The pack is used until all credits are consumed

Class packs are typically managed through an online scheduling software and work together with class booking.

Why class packs are popular for studios

Class packs offer a balance between flexibility and commitment.

They help:

• Generate upfront revenue
• Give clients flexibility in attendance
• Encourage repeat bookings
• Reduce friction compared to one-time payments

Many studios use class packs as an alternative to subscriptions.

Example of a class pack

A Pilates studio offers a 10-class pack for €120.

• The client purchases the pack
• Receives 10 credits
• Books classes using those credits
• Uses the pack over several weeks

Once all credits are used, the client can purchase another pack.

Class pack vs recurring membership

Class packs and recurring memberships serve different needs.

• Class pack: fixed number of visits, flexible usage
• Recurring membership: ongoing subscription with automatic billing

Class packs are ideal for clients who want flexibility, while memberships suit those attending regularly.

How class packs connect with booking and payments

Class packs are closely tied to booking systems.

They allow clients to:

• Book classes using credits instead of paying each time
• Track remaining visits
• Manage purchases and usage easily

From a business perspective, they work together with payment systems and scheduling tools to simplify operations.

Benefits of class packs

• Upfront revenue Studios receive payment before classes are used.
• Flexible usage Clients can attend at their own pace.
