Built for studios — by people who run classes
Hi, I’m Frank. I’ve been building booking software for over 25 years and teaching for the last 8. I started CoreBookings because gym and studio owners deserved something simpler — and someone who understands a busy weeknight when kids, juniors and adults all need a spot on the mat.
We’re a small Australian team. When gyms get stuck, they often talk directly to me — not a ticket queue on the other side of the world.
- 25+ years building booking software
- Australian company, Australian support

- No lock-in contracts

Mobile app
Your gym in their pocket
Students book, manage memberships and check in from their phone — so you spend less time on admin and more time coaching.
- Client booking
- Upcoming bookings
- Membership
Why gyms switch
Less admin. More time on the mats.
Most martial arts owners didn’t open a gym to wrestle spreadsheets. CoreBookings takes the operational load so you can coach and grow.
Fill the mat, not the inbox
Students book and pay themselves. Fewer messages about spots, cancellations and “is there room tonight?”
Attendance for grading
Track who turned up. View each student’s attendance history when you’re assessing belt or grade eligibility.
Make revenue predictable
Sell memberships and packs, take card at booking, and fill last-minute gaps with optional SMS marketing.

Switching is easier than you think
Most gym owners aren’t buying software — they’re changing software. We migrate your gym so you keep clients, packs and history without the usual mess.

- Memberships
- Passes
- Remaining visits
- Expiry dates
- Help you go live
Most gyms are up and running within a few days.
Why Australian gyms choose us
Built here. Supported here.
Overseas platforms often mean US support hours, USD pricing friction and tools that were never designed for how Australian gyms run. CoreBookings is local by default — often with the founder on the other end of the email.
- Australian registered company
- Australian support in your timezone
- GST-ready invoicing
- No currency conversions
- Australian Stripe payouts
- Talk to real people — often the founder
FAQ
Questions martial arts gyms ask before switching
Straight answers on bookings, memberships, attendance, SMS, migration, Australian pricing and payments.
Can clients book and cancel sessions online?
Yes. Students book and cancel online within the rules you set. You control how far ahead they can book and your cancellation window.
Can I automatically charge memberships?
Yes. Set up recurring memberships so members are charged on schedule. You can also sell class packs, intro offers and drop-ins from the same timetable.
Can I track attendance for grading and belt progression?
Yes. CoreBookings records class attendance so you can review each student’s history when assessing eligibility for grading tests.
Can I send SMS to fill last-minute spots?
Yes. An optional SMS marketing add-on lets you text opted-in clients about open spots, waitlist moves and last-minute classes. Prepaid credits mean you only pay for what you send. See SMS marketing.
Can I manage capacity for mats or rings?
Yes. Set class capacity to match your mats, rings or room size so you never overbook. Waitlists catch overflow when popular sessions fill.
Can I still take cash or card at the door?
Yes for online card payments you connect Stripe so payouts go straight to you. Clients can still book now and pay later at the gym if you allow it — cash or card in person.
Can I run more than one location?
Yes. Add multiple locations and manage instructors, class types and timetables across them in one account.
Can I migrate from Mindbody or another system?
Yes. We help you move clients, passes, memberships, remaining visits and expiry dates, and stay with you through go-live.
How long does setup take?
Most gyms are up and running within a few days. Many take their first paid booking the same day once Stripe is connected and the timetable is live.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no lock-in contracts and no cancellation fees. Cancel anytime if CoreBookings isn’t the right fit.
Is CoreBookings an Australian company with local support?
Yes. CoreBookings is an Australian registered company with support in your timezone. Gyms often talk directly to the founder — not an overseas ticket queue.
Is pricing in AUD, and do you handle GST?
Yes. Plans are priced in Australian dollars from A$59/month + GST. Invoices are GST-ready.
