All-in-one pole and aerial studio software for leveled classes, privates & workshops
Foundations at 9. An intermediate silks class at 6. A private at 8. Zipper is the pole and aerial studio software that handles all of it — plus payments, memberships, marketing, website, and branded client app — at one transparent price.
Pole and aerial studio software built for progression, not just scheduling.
Pole and aerial isn't a drop-in-anywhere modality. Your classes are leveled for a reason — a student who hasn't built the strength and technique for an intermediate inversion can't safely book into it. Your studio runs foundations, intermediate, and advanced tracks across pole, silks, hoop, lyra, and sling, plus privates and workshops, and progression between levels is the heart of how students grow with you.
Almost no studio software respects that. Most were built for come-as-you-are group fitness and leave you policing levels by hand — fielding the midnight texts from students wanting into a class they're not ready for. Zipper was built with prerequisite-aware booking and level tracking at its core (we first built it for martial-arts belt progression), so the right students book the right classes automatically — and you stop being the bouncer.
Memberships, packs, and passes that fit how aerialists train.
- Sell unlimited memberships, or class packs that reload automatically when a student uses them up
- Offer apparatus-specific passes — a silks-only block, an open-pole punch card, a workshop bundle
- Share an account across family members, so a parent can book and pay for a teen's classes from one place
Automations that work while you're spotting.
Most pole and aerial owners are also the lead instructor. You can't answer texts mid-class or hand-credit every milestone. Zipper's automations handle it — in your voice, with the exclusion rules other platforms forget.
- Intro-offer sequences that convert first-timers and exclude existing students
- Level-up notifications that fire automatically when a student earns the next tier
- Milestone rewards for 10th, 25th, 50+ classes, tracked and credited without a spreadsheet
- Smart reminders that reduce no-shows and recover late cancels
- Unified Inbox for email, SMS, Facebook, and Instagram DMs in one place
A branded client experience that protects your community.
Your studio is a brand and a safe space. Your software shouldn't undermine either. Zipper is fully white-labeled — your logo, your colors, your domain, your app. Students book in seconds, waivers are signed up front, and level gating means nobody lands in a class they're not ready for.
- New students can buy an intro offer, sign a waiver, and book their first foundations class in one checkout
- Bring a friend — guest passes built into the booking flow
- Fully white-labeled — everything branded for your studio, including your app
- No marketplace, no competing studios, no conflict of interest
