Free scheduling software for Pilates instructors —
that actually knows Pilates.
Most scheduling tools fill your calendar. Hone fills your calendar and makes every class on it worth attending — with a real exercise library, class plans built around who's coming in, and session logs that carry context from class to class.
A booking link is the start, not the finish.
Free scheduling tools do exactly what they promise: get clients onto your calendar. But once the hour is booked, you're on your own. No exercise library. No plan for who's coming in. No record of the knee they had reconstructed last year. Hone picks up where the booking confirmation email ends — with class planning, client health history, sub coordination, and session tracking purpose-built for Pilates.
From booking to milestone — one connected day.
Clients manage bookings in the portal before class. They tap their name on the check-in kiosk when they arrive. After class, instructors log the session with attendees already selected — then milestones and feedback requests show up in the client portal automatically.
- —Magic-link portal — upcoming classes, credits or membership, cancel links, profile
- —Self check-in kiosk on your front-desk iPad
- —Session log pre-filled from check-ins — no manual “mark complete” step
- —Past bookings, milestones, and post-visit feedback in the client portal
Studio-wide scheduling from one view
Create and assign classes across your whole team from a single calendar. Instructors see their own schedule; owners see everything — date, time, plan, duration, and who's teaching.
No more group chats to confirm who's in the studio Thursday morning.
A booking page your clients can actually use
Your classes and appointment types — available at a shareable link or embeddable on your site. New clients fill out your intake form before their first booking.
No Calendly link. No back-and-forth. Just book.
Subs walk in knowing exactly what to teach
Any instructor can flag a class for cover. Hone notifies your team by email. Whoever claims it sees the full plan — exercises, spring settings, and client flags — before they walk in.
Every client gets the same quality class, regardless of who's teaching.
Plan every class before it happens
Build class plans from 400+ curated Pilates exercises — with spring settings, footbar position, box placement, and difficulty already assigned. Drag them into flowing sequences. Reuse and refine.
Never improvise. Always be prepared.
Know who's in the room before you walk in
Injury flags, contraindications, trimester status, postpartum notes — all surfaced before you teach. No more asking the same intake questions twice.
Every client feels like they're your only client.
A record of every class you've ever taught
After each class, log which plan you ran, what you swapped, and per-client notes. Your entire teaching history is searchable and yours forever.
When a client asks what you did last month — you'll know exactly.

Most instructors use a scheduling tool and a teaching tool. Hone handles both.
