Run a gym, a studio or a personal training business? List your classes on FlexDropin and reach people who want to train without a membership. You set your drop-in rate, get paid through your own Stripe account and pay 15% only when you sell.
People who travel, want to try a new discipline or simply don't want a membership look for gyms, studios, pools and sports centers offering flexible access. As a partner, your venue becomes visible to anyone looking to book a class without a membership — including passing visitors you would never have reached otherwise.
Payments go directly to you and the platform commission is deducted automatically. You invoice the user; at month end you receive our invoice for the commissions only. Everything clear, everything traceable.
How big is that audience? Our research on drop-in fitness in the US collects 80 sourced statistics on memberships, churn and non-member customers.
If you manage classes or drop-in access, FlexDropin is for you. Especially useful for venues that run group classes.
Not another subscription management tool: a real tool to sell your single classes and spare spots, right from your smartphone — no extra hardware, no software to install.
Classes, bookings, net revenue, occupancy rate and most active instructors: all stats in real time (today, week, month).
Calendar to create, edit and manage classes: single or recurring, with instructor, spots and price.
Full list of bookings received — confirmed or cancelled — with user details and payment status.
Set up a series (e.g. every Monday at 9:00) and the system generates the dates automatically. Define rules, start and end.
Add instructors with name and photo and assign them to classes. The dashboard also shows your most active ones.
If you require one, the app checks at every booking that the athlete has a valid medical certificate and a signed self-declaration.
Here are the real screens our partners use every day to create classes, track bookings and manage instructors — no membership cards or subscriptions to administer.
Create a single or template-based class in seconds: date, time, spots and price.
See every class in the month at a glance, in a single calendar.
Check who booked and the payment status, class by class.
Add instructors with name, photo and certifications, and assign them to classes.
When a user books and pays, the amount is credited directly to your venue's account via Stripe Connect. The platform commission is deducted automatically in the same transaction: you receive the net amount (price minus commission and Stripe fee). No separate charges, no surprises — you see immediately what you're owed.
The sports venue invoices the user who used the service, as with any service. At month end FlexDropin invoices the venue with the commission details only for the bookings in that period. Compliant and traceable for your accounting.
Venues outside the EU pay the 15% commission with no VAT added. For EU venues, VAT rules apply (e.g. reverse charge with a valid EU VAT number).
You set the price. FlexDropin takes its commission only when the class is booked and paid.
| Class price | $20.00 |
| FlexDropin commission (15%) | $3.00 |
| You receive | $17.00, minus Stripe's card processing fee |
US venues price in dollars and get paid in dollars. No monthly subscription and no setup fee. Stripe pays out to your bank account once a month.
Two different ways to sell your open spots. Details on ClassPass come from its official partner pages.
| FlexDropin | ClassPass | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sets the price | You, class by class | Confidential rate floor; credits set by ClassPass |
| What athletes see | Your actual price | Credits, behind a subscription |
| Cost to join | No fixed fees | No upfront cost |
| What you earn | Your price minus 15% | Often a lower per-spot rate than a direct booking, per ClassPass |
| Free trial class | Only if you choose to | Required for all fitness partners |

"I run a Functional Training gym and drop-ins used to be a nightmare: Instagram messages, cash payments, manual confirmations… total chaos. With FlexDropin everything is automated. People book, pay in the app and I get the notification. The dashboard is crystal clear."
"It's not the usual generic platform: it's designed for people who run group classes. Templates, single or recurring classes, monthly calendar, stats… everything's there without being complicated. Plus, with the same account I can use it as a user when I travel."
"Since joining FlexDropin I've gained several new passing clients I would never have reached otherwise. I really like the ability to create recurring classes: I set everything up once and the system generates the dates. Instructor management is simple too."
