for your gym or studio.

One platform to enroll members, run classes, book private lessons and parties, sell merch, and bill on autopilot — built for the way class-based businesses actually run.

Running a gym shouldn't feel like this

Five tools that don’t talk to each other
Front desk on paper, billing in QuickBooks, schedules in spreadsheets
Per-student pricing scales faster than your revenue
Members can’t book a private lesson without calling the desk
No clean way to take a deposit on a birthday party
AI-anything is a separate $99/mo upsell

One platform, every revenue stream

Class-based gyms make money in six different ways. Hurdle handles all of them from one dashboard, one inbox, one set of waivers, and one Stripe account.

Classes & sections

Recurring weekly classes with capacity caps, drop-in options, and tiered “classes per week” pricing. Move members between sections without re-charging.

Memberships

Monthly tuition, quarterly, or annual. Family pricing, sibling discounts, pause for vacation with auto-resume, automatic past-due handling.

Private lessons & evals

Bookable appointments for private coaching, free trials, and skill evaluations. Members pick a coach, pick a time, and pay per session or in a package.

Birthday parties & events

Slot-based party bookings with deposits, theme add-ons, and per-guest waivers. Block out resources and let parents self-serve the form.

Camps & intensives

Event-style registration for summer camps, spring break, holiday workshops, and competition teams. One-time payment or deposit + monthly plan.

Pro shop & merch

Sell leotards, uniforms, USA Gymnastics memberships, or registration fees at checkout. Conditional size, color, and logo questions. Order-sheet exports.

Built for how the front desk actually runs

Prospects discover you online, families self-serve from their phones, and the desk runs from a tablet — not a stack of paper sign-in sheets.

Public site + AI chatbot

Every gym gets a hosted site with a class catalog, instructor pages, and an AI assistant that answers prospect questions about pricing, schedules, and trial classes.

Tablet kiosk check-in

Open /kiosk on any iPad at the front desk. Full-screen, branded, screen-wake-locked, with one-tap attendance marking. No separate hardware.

Family accounts + member app

Parents manage all their kids in one login. iOS and Android app for class schedules, upcoming charges, payment methods, and announcements.

Coach scheduling & roles

Assign coaches to specific events, give them a “My Day” feed, and a coach view that hides admin-only settings. Substitutions and availability built in.

Billing

Billing that flexes with the way studios charge

Members aren't one-size-fits-all and neither is the way you bill them. Recurring tuition, plans, drop-ins, and pauses all live in one Stripe-backed system.

  • Recurring monthly tuition (weekly, quarterly, and annual cycles too)
  • Deposits + monthly installment plans via Stripe Subscription Schedules
  • Pause and resume memberships with auto-resume dates
  • Family pricing, sibling discounts, and promo codes
  • Past-due tracking with admin tasks and reminder emails
  • Cards, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Afterpay — via Stripe Connect

Mix and match per program — recurring memberships, pay-in-full camps, and deposit-plus-installments competition fees can all coexist in the same dashboard.

Built for every kind of class business

Common questions from gym & studio operators

Can members book private lessons or evaluations on Hurdle?

Yes. Hurdle has a full appointment booking system. Members pick a coach, pick a time, and pay per session or in a prepaid package. You can configure recurring weekly slots, blackout dates, and per-coach availability. The same system handles free trials and skill evaluations for new prospects.

Can I take birthday party bookings with a deposit?

Yes. Set up a party slot as a bookable appointment with a deposit charged at booking and the balance due before the event. Add party add-ons like t-shirts, pizza, or themes during the form. Per-guest waivers can be required when parents share the link with their guests.

Can members enroll in multiple classes per week?

Yes. Pricing tiers support per-tier caps like “1 class/week,” “2 classes/week,” or “all-access.” Members pick their sections at signup, capacity is checked atomically per section, and admins can move members between sections later without re-charging.

How does pause & resume work for memberships?

Admins can pause any recurring membership with a fixed resume date or indefinitely. Members can self-pause if you turn it on, with an optional max-duration cap. Stripe handles the billing pause and Hurdle automatically resumes when the resume date passes — no manual restart, no missed renewals.

Can I sell uniforms, leotards, or merch at checkout?

Yes. Program add-ons let you sell merch, USAG memberships, registration fees, or any extras during signup with conditional questions for size, color, and logo. Add-ons flow through one-time, recurring, and payment-plan checkouts and you can export an order sheet for fulfillment.

Do you have a kiosk check-in for class arrivals?

Yes. Open /kiosk on any tablet or iPad and you get a full-screen, branded experience with screen wake lock, a day picker, and one-tap attendance marking. Coaches see the day's roster, mark members in, and the schedule, payments, and dashboards stay in sync.

Do instructors get their own login?

Yes. Coaches have a dedicated role with access to their inbox, member profiles for their classes, an attendance feed, and a mobile-optimized menu. Admin-only settings (financials, settings, integrations) stay hidden.

How is Hurdle different from Jackrabbit Class or iClassPro?

Hurdle is one platform for everything you sell — classes, memberships, lessons, parties, camps, and retail — not a class-management tool with separate add-ons for each. Pricing is a flat $99–199/month with no per-family fees, instead of per-student pricing that scales with your roster. AI is built in (registration pages, waivers, member chatbot, inbox replies) rather than sold as an upgrade.

Move classes, memberships, lessons, parties, and pro shop onto one platform that the whole front desk can actually use.
