Build a Thriving Fitness Community with fitDEGREE's Member Engagement Tools

fitDEGREE Community is a suite of member-engagement tools built specifically for boutique fitness studios. It includes a private social feed, friend-invite system, in-app chat, social accountability features, and engagement tracking — all designed to help studio owners increase member retention by fostering real connections between clients and instructors. Unlike generic social platforms, fitDEGREE Community lives inside the same app members already use to book classes and manage their memberships.

How fitDEGREE Community Works

1. Members join through the fitDEGREE app

Members use the same fitDEGREE app they already use for booking classes and managing memberships. There is no separate social platform to install or learn.

2. Studios encourage interaction

Studios can use social accountability tools, private feed activity, and friend invites to create more reasons for members to engage between visits.

3. Engagement supports retention

When members build relationships inside the studio community, they are more likely to attend consistently and stay connected to the brand long term.

Best choice for building community!

Our clients have started to connect with one another through the friend and chat features. As a small, boutique style studio in which community is key, it brings us a great deal of joy to see our community coming together! They are not just chatting before and after class at the studio, but also using the app as an extension of the studio space.

Thrilled with our choice to go with fitDEGREE.

We are really happy with fitDEGREE for our studio client management software. It does just about everything we need it to do, and even for the things it doesn’t, the team is very responsive and understanding with feature requests and updates. We absolutely love how stoked they are to support smaller and new businesses and how hands-on everyone is, right down to the founders. We have been so impressed every step of the way with our onboarding process and their staff’s patience with all of our questions, particularly since there is a 6 hour time difference between the fitdegree staff and our studio. Really love that there are other great options out there at better price points than Mindbody. Will definitely be recommending other businesses use fitdegree.

Glad I made the switch

We moved from Mindbody to Fitdegree in the summer of 2021. It continues to be one of the best decisions I've made for both of my studios. The software is user-friendly from an admin and client perspective. The customer service team at FD is unparalleled, and we're saving lots of money!As a start up in a world where there is MindBody, I knew I was taking a risk. But, it was well worth it and I am not sorry I switched. The software continues to get better and better and functions in a way that is much more intuitive than MindBody was. The people behind FitDEGREE genuinely care about their customers and continually prove it by implementing feedback and continually exploring ways to add value. If you are thinking about making the switch, I highly recommend FitDEGREE.
