Wellness & spa platform

Mindbody

Established booking and management platform for spas, wellness, and fitness, with a large consumer app.

What it does

Mindbody is a long-standing platform serving day spas, wellness studios, and fitness businesses, with strong support for memberships, class and appointment scheduling, packages, and a big consumer app and marketplace for discovery. It covers booking, POS, client management, automated marketing, and reporting, and suits multi-service wellness businesses that sell recurring memberships and classes as much as one-off appointments. It skews toward larger or more complex operations.
