Santa Monica Boutique Fitness: Your Wellness Brand, Not Mindbody's, On The Member's Phone
Montana Avenue pilates, Main Street spin and yoga, beach-bootcamp collectives, and the recovery-and-wellness studios off the Promenade. Your members chose you over the studio next door because the brand felt premium. Then Mindbody charges you per member and stamps its UI on every booking. We build your own app and run it on a flat fee.
The fitness & wellness problem in Santa Monica
The pattern we keep running into with Santa Monica fitness studios and wellness brands.
The pattern we see
You run a boutique studio in Santa Monica where members pay a premium because your brand reads as a notch above the rest of the Westside. Mindbody undercuts exactly that. Worse, the member installs a Mindbody-branded app, not yours, and your front desk juggles two logins just to confirm a class. The relationship you spent years building lives in the platform's database. When an instructor leaves, your team needs clear access and handoff rules for member records.
How we build for Santa Monica
Built around how you actually run, then operated for you.
We ship your studio its own branded iOS and Android app, published under your developer accounts so your name is on the App Store, not the platform's. Booking, packages, autopay, waitlists, and retention notifications run end to end on our side. Each instructor gets a profile and direct booking while the studio keeps the master customer record. The written proposal confirms supported payment connections, processor fees, and other vendor costs.
Santa Monica fitness customers carry Equinox-grade expectations into a five-instructor studio, and they will judge a Montana Avenue or Main Street brand against that bar. We build to it and operate the platform on the owner's behalf, so the floor team stays on members rather than software updates. Starting at $950 a month, flat, the per-member trap that punishes a growing Westside studio simply does not exist on this side of the line.
What we build for Santa Monica fitness studios and wellness brands
One ongoing fee covers these tools. Here are the parts businesses in Santa Monica use most.
Branded Mobile App, Operated By Us
A branded iOS and Android app for your Santa Monica fitness & wellness customers. We configure and run the push notifications, loyalty, and bookings. Developer-account responsibilities, licenses, exports, and handoff are documented in the signed agreement.
- iOS and Android publishing with developer-account responsibility documented in the signed agreement
- release management, version submissions, and rejections handled on our side
- push notifications and in-app messaging configured by us, on your timing
Vendor and System Integrations
Stripe, Mindbody, ClassPass and the rest of your stack keep working, connected by us. Two-way sync, retry queues, and around-the-clock monitoring stay on our side, so an integration never breaks unnoticed on a Friday night.
- supported connections to the agreed CRM, accounting, and operations tools
- retries and event monitoring for the supported connections
- alert routing to our team, not yours, when something does break
Operations and Iteration
Your Santa Monica team sends a brief for the work included in the plan. The agreement sets publishing targets, response expectations, and the review schedule.
- operations reviews, reporting, and measurements agreed with your leadership
- platform changes from a plain-language brief within the work and target dates in your plan
- monitoring, security updates, and incident response defined in the agreement
Tools we connect
Bring the tools your Los Angeles County team uses. We check the proposed connections before agreeing the work.
Rules the software needs to follow
The project needs its own data and security review. The signed scope confirms applicable requirements, supported controls, vendors, and responsibilities.
Questions fitness studios and wellness brands ask first
Specific to fitness studios and wellness brands in Santa Monica.
Are you set up to serve fitness studios and wellness brands in Santa Monica?
Our office is in Long Beach. We can discuss the software work your Santa Monica team needs handled, with scope, response expectations, and meeting arrangements confirmed for your project.
How is Rehost priced for fitness studios and wellness brands in Santa Monica?
By monthly active users, not by seats or locations: Business starts at $950/mo up to 2,000 MAU, then $1,500 to 10K and $2,500 to 50K. Hiring staff or opening another Santa Monica location doesn't move the bill. There's no setup fee and no per-transaction cut, and the published number is the number.
What are we paying you to run each month?
The monthly plan covers the agreed software work. We put the included tasks, vendor responsibilities, support expectations, and any review schedule in writing for your Santa Monica project.
Who owns the app and the customer data?
Customer content and data you provide remain yours. Rehost owns its service software, code, and designs unless the signed agreement states otherwise. That agreement also identifies developer accounts, domains, code licenses, exports, and handoff.
