Cohort
Class and cohort booking for studios, gyms, schools, and recurring programs
Cohort is the AppLiaison answer for businesses where the booking unit is a recurring class or a multi-session program — yoga studios, music schools, language classes, group coaching cohorts. It pairs branded class scheduling with attendance, capacity caps, waitlists, and the package / membership billing that this category needs and that generic booking tools (Calendly, Acuity) handle poorly.
Key features
- Class schedules with recurring rules, holiday calendars, and instructor sub flow
- Cohort programs (multi-session, fixed start) with attendance per session
- Membership packages (drop-in, class pack, unlimited) with usage tracking
- Stripe payment with package billing and auto-renewal
- Public booking widget themed to studio brand
- Waitlist with auto-promote when cancellation opens a seat
- Instructor portal for class lists, attendance, and roster export
- Reporting on attendance, package utilization, churn, and revenue per class
Architecture
Built on the Vertical SaaS Stack.
What you get
Cohort lands as a multi-tenant SaaS under the studio’s brand. The first month of class schedule and a starter set of membership packages are seeded during onboarding. Stripe is wired on day one; the booking widget drops into the studio’s existing site with a script tag.
Sample customer story (placeholder — illustrative only)
A 3-location yoga studio licensed Cohort to escape Mindbody’s per-location pricing and a customer-facing experience that always felt borrowed. Reception desk staff cut about 40% of their per-shift admin time once the package management ran in the same place as the schedule, and the customer NPS lifted 14 points in the quarter following migration.
What’s NOT included
- One-on-one practitioner booking (e.g., a chiropractor visit). Use Slotpage.
- Restaurant reservations. Use Tablebook.
- Hospital / clinical scheduling. Use Patientlink + Telehale.
- Member fitness tracking and personal-record logging. Use Fitloop and integrate.
- Biometric / facial-recognition check-in. A paid customization, not in the box.
