Sunday is supposed to be a day off. Yours probably isn't. Inpulsd is the planning, teaching, and business app for Pilates, yoga, and fitness instructors. Describe what you're teaching in one sentence and you have a class drafted from your own library. Footwork, bridge, the cues you actually say, timed and sequenced. Tweak it, save it, teach it. Sunday gets shorter. CLASS PLANNING THAT TAKES MINUTES Type "45-minute intermediate reformer, hamstring focus" and your draft comes back built around your library. Adjust intensity, swap an exercise, change the duration. Save any class as a Template you can teach again next month with a new playlist. When you don't feel like building from scratch, pull from Inpulsd's templates: Classical Reformer, Hamstring + Glute, Beginner Reformer Basics. They're real classes, not stock loops. YOUR IPAD AT THE FRONT OF THE ROOM Class Mode turns your iPad into a teleprompter. Current exercise. Next one. Your cues. The timer. The transitions. You teach, the screen runs, you stay present with the room. No more flipping pages between sets or losing the sequence when someone needs a modification. MUSIC THAT MATCHES THE CLASS Connect Apple Music or Spotify. Playlists build around the BPM, energy, and arc of what you're teaching. Footwork stays calm. Jumpboard goes harder. Final stretch winds down on its own. No scrambling for a track between exercises. GO LIVE WHEN YOU WANT One tap streams the class. Students at home see you and Class Mode side by side. Teach from the studio, the kitchen, a hotel room overseas. Anywhere with WiFi. MEMBERS BOOK THEMSELVES Post the class. Members browse, book, hit the waitlist, get reminders, and pay through Stripe. Cancellations open waitlist seats automatically. Drop-ins, class packs, monthly memberships all work the same way. You open the app and your roster is ready. THE BUSINESS SIDE, ALREADY DONE Attendance trends. Fill rates. Revenue this week, last month, since you started. Member profiles with booking history and payment status. When someone hasn't been to class in three weeks, you see it. Payouts hit your bank on their own. WHO BUILT THIS Instructors who got tired of Sundays in front of a spreadsheet. We use it ourselves.
