Luma is a small studio booking app that does the essential things well and skips the bloat. Choose spot-based booking (members pick a reformer, bike, or seat) or open-floor (a simple spots-left count) to match your room. Waitlists run themselves, memberships, class packs, and drop-ins are tracked without a spreadsheet, and your schedule lives on a shareable page and an embeddable widget. Setup is under three minutes with no credit card — the calm, affordable alternative to heavy studio platforms.
Spot-based or open-floor — your choice
Pick a visual map (members choose their exact reformer, bike, or seat) or a simple open-floor count. Match the booking model to your room, not the other way around.
Waitlists on autopilot
When a class fills, the next person joins the waitlist and is offered a freed spot automatically before the cutoff, with any credit restored.
A shareable page and website embed
Share one link or embed the schedule on your site. Members book with no account, and every entry point stays in sync.
Memberships, packs, and drop-ins
Track unlimited memberships, class packs, and single drop-ins with a note or receipt photo. Credits apply and restore automatically.
No card to start, nothing to migrate
Set up in under three minutes on a 14-day free trial. Your public booking page keeps working even if your subscription lapses — students are never locked out.
One flat rate, no per-booking fee
Free reservations for members and one simple monthly rate — no per-booking cut, no per-SMS charge, no setup fee.
The calm alternative to heavy studio software
Small studios are often sold enterprise platforms built for chains: weeks of onboarding, a dense back office, per-booking fees, and members forced to download an app to reserve. A one-room studio or a solo instructor rarely needs any of that — it needs fast booking, a waitlist, simple membership tracking, and a schedule on its own website.
Luma is deliberately that: the essential 20% of a studio platform that you'll actually use every day, at one flat rate, live in minutes. It's a booking app you can run without a manual, whether you teach one class a week or fifty.
Live in three steps
- 01
Set up in minutes
Name your studio, pick your vertical, and Luma seeds a room, a sample class, and this week's schedule for you. You're live and taking reservations in under three minutes — no sales call, no credit card.
- 02
Share your schedule page
Send members your link or drop the embed widget onto your existing website. They reserve a free spot in a couple of taps — nothing to download, no account to create.
- 03
Run your day from one calm calendar
Rosters, check-ins, waitlists, and membership tracking all live in a single day-or-week view — a calendar you actually want to open, not an admin ledger you dread.
Frequently asked questions
- Do my members need an app or an account to book?
- No. Reservations are free and take a couple of taps — there's no app to download and no account to create. You share one link (or embed the schedule on your site) and people book straight away.
- How long does it take to get set up?
- Under three minutes. You name your studio, pick your vertical, and Luma seeds a room, a sample class, and this week's schedule. No credit card is required to start your 14-day trial.
- Is there a setup fee or a per-booking fee?
- No. There's no setup fee, no per-booking fee, and no per-message charge — one flat monthly rate for the software, and member reservations are always free. It's the affordable alternative to platforms that bill you per booking or per SMS.
- How do waitlists work?
- When a class is full, the next person joins the waitlist. The moment a spot frees — someone cancels before the cutoff — the top of the list is offered it automatically, and any class credit they used is restored. You never chase a full class by hand.
- Can I put the schedule on my own website?
- Yes. Every studio gets a shareable schedule page and an embeddable widget, so you can take bookings from your own site, Instagram bio, or a link in an email — all pointing at the same live schedule.
- Can I track memberships, class packs, and drop-ins?
- Yes. Reservations are free to book, and you track memberships, class packs, and drop-ins with an optional note or a photo of a receipt. Luma auto-applies and restores credits as members book and cancel. Charging students directly through Luma is on the roadmap.
- Can I switch from another platform without a migration project?
- Yes. There's nothing to migrate to get started — add your classes and share your link the same day. Your members keep booking with no app and no account, so you can move over one class at a time.
- What does it cost?
- Every studio starts with a 14-day free trial, no card required. After that it's one simple flat monthly rate — see the pricing page. Your public booking page keeps working regardless of billing state.
