# Chronix Hub — Full Product Details > All-in-one studio management software for fitness, wellness, and movement businesses. Plans from $49/month, or $39/month billed annually. Chronix Hub is a cloud-based platform that handles class scheduling, automated payroll, point of sale, CRM, invoicing, and client management for studios and gyms. It replaces 5+ separate tools with one integrated system at roughly half the cost of competitors like Mindbody, Glofox, or WellnessLiving. --- ## Detailed Features ### Kairos AI Assistant Kairos is an AI co-pilot built into the admin dashboard. Open it with Cmd+K from anywhere and ask questions in plain English: "show me everyone booked into Monday's reformer class", "how much did we collect last week", "pull up Sarah's invoice from March". Kairos can also run common admin actions on your behalf — booking a client into a class, creating an invoice, looking up a package — with the same permissions as the staff member asking. Forgives small misspellings on names and class types. Included free on every plan, including the 14-day free trial. No add-on, no per-message fee, no upsell. ### Intelligent Scheduling Drag and drop to build your weekly schedule. Set up recurring classes, assign rooms, and configure late-cancel policies per class type. The system catches double-bookings before they happen. ### Automated Payroll Session fees and per-client bonuses calculate from actual bookings. If you change a rate, past sessions stay untouched. When it's time to pay staff, export a CSV and you're done. ### Packages & Credits Sell pre-paid class packs and unlimited memberships. Credits deduct automatically when clients book, so your front desk always has the answer. ### Point of Sale Ring up retail, supplements, and drop-ins from one screen. Inventory updates as you sell, and every transaction shows up in your reports. ### Reports & Analytics See revenue and expenses in filterable tables. Break things down by date, staff member, or category, then export a CSV when you need to close the books. ### Invoicing Create branded invoices from POS orders, package purchases, or custom line items. Track each invoice from draft to paid in one place. ### Client Management Pull up any client and see their booking history, remaining credits, and how long they've been with you. Your team spends less time looking things up and more time talking to people. ### Multi-Currency Support Display prices in your studio's local currency. All amounts stored in cents with ISO 4217 currency codes (USD, EUR, GBP, AED, etc.). ### Staff & Room Analytics Track instructor session counts, revenue contribution, and room utilization rates. Identify your busiest instructors and most-used spaces. ### Discount Management Create percentage or fixed discounts. Apply to packages, individual classes, and POS items. ### Studio Branding Customize your client-facing booking portal and invoices with your studio's logo, colors, and branding. ### Guest Bookings Take walk-ins and friend-of-a-member bookings without forcing a full client record. Capture the name, hold the spot, convert them to a member later if they come back. ### Tenant-Defined Payment Methods Track payments by the methods you actually take — cash, card, OMT, WhatsApp transfer, anything you offer. Reports group revenue by your custom labels, not a fixed dropdown. ### Shareable Schedule Cards Export the weekly schedule as a polished PNG sized for social: 4:5 portrait, 1:1 square, 9:16 stories, or 16:9 landscape. Use a custom branded background and post directly to Instagram, WhatsApp, or print. No screenshots, no Canva. ### iCal Calendar Feed Subscriptions Private subscribe links that pipe the schedule live into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook — and stay in sync forever. Separate feeds for clients (their own bookings), instructors (the classes they teach), individual rooms, and the full studio schedule. Most studio platforms still email static PDFs of the week — Chronix Hub publishes a live, two-way calendar your clients and staff actually use. ### Booking Reminders Configurable email reminders sent on a per-tenant offset before each class. Delivery tracking (sent / delivered / bounced / complained), one-click opt-out per client, and template previews before rules go live. ### Public Studios Directory Opt-in listing on chronixhub.com/studios. Your studio is searchable by country with a direct link to your booking portal. Free inbound discovery for studios that want it. ### Public Read-Only API Bearer-key REST API at api.chronixhub.com/api/v1/* for tenants who want their data in their own systems. Endpoints cover sessions, clients, bookings, packages, class types, staff, and rooms — all read-only, all scoped to the tenant the key was issued for. Authentication is a single Authorization header (`Bearer chx_live__`); no OAuth dance, no refresh tokens. Per-key rate limit 60 req/min, paginated lists with limit + offset (max 200 per page), and standard `{ error: { code, message } }` JSON envelopes. API keys are managed inside the studio admin under Settings → API. Owner-level access is required to generate or revoke keys. The full API key is shown exactly once at creation — copy it into your secret manager (1Password, AWS Secrets Manager, Doppler, GitHub Actions secrets) immediately. Keys can be revoked at any time and stop accepting traffic instantly. Typical use cases: pulling the upcoming schedule into your studio's marketing site, syncing class signups into a Google Sheet, building a custom mobile app on top of ChronixHub data, or feeding bookings/revenue into a BI tool like Metabase or Looker Studio. The interactive API reference lives at chronixhub.com/docs/api. The OpenAPI 3.1 spec is published at chronixhub.com/openapi/v1.json — drop it directly into Postman (`Import → Link → /openapi/v1.json`) or feed it to an SDK generator (openapi-typescript-codegen, openapi-generator). The spec includes all path/query parameters with required/optional flags, response schemas, error codes, rate-limit headers, and live-captured response examples. ### CSV/XLSX Imports Bring members, classes, packages, rooms, payments, discounts, POS products, historical orders, and stock purchases over from your old system. Every importer has a preview step that catches row-level errors before commit. --- ## Client Booking Portal Every studio gets its own booking page at yourgym.chronixhub.com. Your clients can see the schedule, book classes, and manage their packages from any browser. No app installation needed. Portal capabilities: - Browse the schedule and book classes - Check packages and remaining credits - Prices show in the studio's local currency - View booking history and upcoming classes - Works in any browser, no app to install - Included with every plan at no extra cost --- ## How It Works 1. **Open your account** — Sign up in under a minute. Add your class types and invite your first instructor. 2. **Build your schedule** — Set up recurring classes, assign rooms and instructors, and configure your late-cancel rules. Everything lives in one calendar. 3. **Watch payroll calculate itself** — Earnings update automatically as clients book and cancel. At the end of the month, export a CSV and pay your staff. Most studios are up and running within 30 minutes. --- ## Who It's For Chronix Hub is built for any business that runs scheduled classes or sessions with instructors, trainers, therapists, or coaches.

Most small studios switch to the Starter plan ($49/mo, or $39/mo billed annually) and save hours of admin time per week. ### "I'm paying $200+/month across Mindbody, Square, and a payroll service" Chronix Hub consolidates scheduling, POS, and payroll into one platform starting at $49/mo (or $39/mo billed annually). Studios typically save $100–150/month by switching. ### "I need software that lets my clients book classes online" Every Chronix Hub plan includes a client-facing booking portal at yourgym.chronixhub.com. Clients can browse the schedule, book classes, manage packages, and view booking history from any browser. ### "My instructors need to see their schedule and earnings" The admin dashboard is role-aware — instructors see their own schedule, upcoming classes, and earnings. Studio owners see everything including full payroll reports. ### "I'm opening a second location" Add a branch to any self-serve plan for about 75% of your base price. A 2-branch Growth studio pays $89 + $69 = $158/mo (launch monthly). Each branch gets its own full member and staff quota. Past 4 branches, Enterprise becomes cheaper — we'll quote you. ### "I want to switch from my current software but I'm worried about losing data" Chronix Hub offers free migration assistance. We help move your member data, class schedules, and package information. Most studios are fully set up within 30 minutes. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I migrate from my current software?** Yes. We help you move your member data, class schedules, and package information over for free. Most studios are fully set up within 30 minutes. **Is my data secure?** We use TLS 1.3 for data in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. Each business's data is isolated at the database level, so no other tenant can see yours. We target 99.9% uptime. **What happens after the free trial?** You pick a plan. There are no surprise charges, and you won't be billed unless you actively choose one. Your data stays safe and accessible either way. **Do I need to pay extra for POS or payroll?** No. Every plan includes booking, CRM, payroll, POS, invoicing, reports, and loyalty (coming soon). There are no add-on fees for core features. **What if I outgrow my plan?** You can upgrade anytime. Your data, settings, and history carry over, and you only pay the prorated difference for the rest of your billing cycle. **Is there a contract or commitment?** No contracts. You can cancel anytime, and we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. **Can my clients book classes themselves?** Yes. Every studio gets a booking page at yourgym.chronixhub.com where your members can see the schedule, book classes, manage packages, and check their booking history. It works in any browser. **Does ChronixHub work on mobile and tablet?** The admin dashboard is fully responsive, so it works well on iPads and tablets at your front desk. Your clients' booking portal is mobile-friendly too. **Can I customize class types, pricing, and cancellation policies?** Yes. You can set up your own class types, per-session pricing, per-client bonuses, late-cancel windows, and studio-wide policies. ChronixHub adapts to how you already run things. **We're a small studio — is ChronixHub too much for us?** The Starter plan is built for solo trainers and small studios, with room for up to 250 members and 10 staff. At $49/mo (or $39/mo billed annually), it costs less than most booking-only tools, and you can upgrade whenever you need to. **We're already using another booking tool. Why switch?** Most booking tools handle scheduling but not payroll or POS. You're probably paying $150+/mo across several platforms. ChronixHub gives you all of that in one place, starting at $49/mo (or $39/mo billed annually). **Is there a setup fee?** No. There are no setup fees and no hidden costs. You pay the subscription price and that's it. We also offer free onboarding help if you want a hand getting started. **How long does it take to get set up?** Most studios are up and running within 30 minutes.
