Progress tracking Keep a diary of notes for each client, including images, videos, and documents. Make training personal by reviewing what you covered last session — whether you teach Pilates, give piano lessons, or do personal training.

A complete app ecosystem for your studio * Bobclass Studio Manager is the hub for studio owners.
