  • Rota to the timetable. Build cover around your class schedule and publish to instructors’ phones in minutes.
  • One board across studios. See who’s on across every studio, with a per-site geofence for clock-in.
  • Labour cost per studio. Watch what each site is costing against its timetable, so quiet hours don’t bleed money.

The bits that make shift work hard

The same leaks show up week after week — and most of them only surface on the payroll run, long after you could have done anything about it. Here's where the hours and the money usually slip.

01

Rota vs class timetable

Cover has to match a class schedule that changes week to week.

02

Multi-studio sprawl

No single view of who is working where across two or three sites.

03

Casual instructor churn

Freelance and casual instructors make per-user pricing painful.

How WagePilot helps

The same building blocks — rota, clock-in, audited timesheets — tuned to the way Gyms & fitness actually run.

    See who’s on across every studio, with a per-site geofence for clock-in.

Hire anyone you like. The bill never moves

No per-head fees means you can grow the team without watching a meter: one site stays at £29 whether you're 3 people or 25. Open another venue and it's a flat £29 more, never per person.

What you'd pay as your team grows: a typical per-seat tool vs WagePilot's flat price
Your team Typical per-seat tool WagePilot
5 staff ~£20/mo Free · 1 site
25 staff ~£100/mo £29 · 1 site
50 staff ~£200/mo £29 · 1 site
80 staff ~£320/mo £58 · 2 sites
150 staff ~£600/mo £87 · 3 sites
200 staff ~£800/mo £145 · 5 sites

Per-seat figures assume a typical ~£4/user/month all-in rate (many tools sit £3–£6/user). Indicative, for illustration.

Gyms & fitness: common questions

Can I rota staff around my class timetable?
Yes. Build the week on a grid to match your class schedule, copy last week as a starting point, and publish instantly to instructors’ and front-desk staff’s phones, with conflict and holiday-clash warnings before anyone turns up to an empty slot.
Does it work across more than one studio?
Yes. Each studio is a site with its own geofence for clock-in, and you see everyone across every studio on one live board. Each extra studio is one flat £29 site charge on Core, with unlimited staff and no limit on how many studios you add, so the cost lever is studios, never headcount. If you want cost and hours compared studio by studio, that is the cross-site analytics on Pro at £59 a site: a features choice, not something opening a third studio forces.
How does it handle casual and freelance instructors?
Casual and freelance instructors are free like all staff, so a changing roster never moves the bill. They clock in on their own phone, confirmed on-site, and their hours land on an audited timesheet ready for payroll export.
