The Zen Planner Member Connect site (and the Member App) is a robust self-service hub designed for the specific needs of martial arts schools, boxes, and boutique studios. It goes beyond simple booking by integrating skills tracking and family management, which are essential for these niches.
It is designed to deepen the connection between the student and the school. Members log in not just to pay bills, but to log their workout results, check their belt progress, and interact with the community. This high-frequency usage keeps your brand top-of-mind.
We customise the Member Connect portal to ensure it aligns with your curriculum and class structure. We make it the central place where students track their journey from white belt to black belt, or from beginner to athlete.
