POLE & AERIAL STUDIO MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

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.

The pole & aerial software your studio actually needs

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 made for aerialists

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
Marketing while you spot

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 client experience that protects your community

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

FAQ

Pole and aerial studio software FAQs

Can I stop beginners from booking into advanced classes?
Yes — this is the reason many pole and aerial studios switch to Zipper. With prerequisite tags, a class only opens to students carrying the right tag. The tag can be applied automatically when a student completes a beginner series or is leveled up by an instructor, so the upper-level silks and pole classes unlock only when a student is ready. No more newbies in the level-three class.
How does level tracking work?
Each student carries their level on their profile, and you can advance them manually or automatically as they meet criteria. We originally built this engine for martial-arts belt progression, so it handles a true multi-tier ladder cleanly — foundations through advanced, per apparatus if you want.
Can I sell apparatus-specific passes?
Yes. You can build a silks-only block, an open-pole punch card, or a workshop bundle, and set exactly which classes each pass is good for and when it expires. Offer several side by side and let students choose.
Does Zipper handle both classes and privates?
Yes. Classes and appointments are treated equally — neither is bolted on. Run leveled group classes, privates, semi-privates, and workshops from the same schedule with one membership that covers the mix you offer.
Can I offer auto-renewing packs that aren't memberships?
Yes. Sell a class pack that reloads when the student finishes it — not on a fixed monthly cycle, but whenever they actually use it up. Configurable at the product level.
Do you offer family accounts for parents booking for teens?
Yes. Family accounts share one payment method, so a parent can book and pay for a teen's classes from a single account.
I'm switching from another platform. How hard is the migration?
We handle the heavy lifting. Most studios migrate without losing student history, memberships, or payment methods. Check your current contract for auto-renewal clauses before signing anywhere new and get them removed in writing before your renewal date.
Will I have my own mobile app?
Yes — fully branded, ready to use immediately. The staff side is fully mobile-optimized too.
What kind of support will I get?
A real human who knows your account. We're a small, hands-on team, so feature requests often ship the same week.
What does Zipper cost?
Month-to-month, no long-term contracts, no setup fees. Competitive with the major players, with the marketing suite included. Book a demo and we'll walk through what fits your studio.
