Studios on Pro and Premium tiers can manage multiple venues. This article covers how to add them, how classes attach to locations, and how students see them.
Tier limits
| Tier | Locations |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Pro | 3 |
| Premium | Unlimited |
If you upgrade from a tier with fewer locations to one with more, your existing locations stay. If you downgrade, locations in excess of the new cap become inactive (but not deleted); reactivate by upgrading again or by deleting the surplus.
Adding a location
Go to /studio/locations
The locations management page.
Click 'Add location'
A form appears.
Fill in the fields
- Name (required): how you refer to it internally and publicly. "Main studio", "Annex", "East side".
- Address (required): full street address. Use place-search for autocomplete; we geocode it.
- Operating hours (optional): the venue's general hours. Used for context, not enforced on bookings.
- Notes (optional): parking, accessibility, what kind of space (studio, gym, outdoor, etc).
- Photo (optional): a photo of the space. Helps students recognise the venue.
Save
The location is live. It appears on your public profile and is available to attach to new classes.
Attaching classes to locations
When you create a class, the wizard's location step lets you pick from your existing locations. If you have only one, it is the default. If you have several, you pick.
A single class can only be at ONE location. If you run "Vinyasa Mondays" at both Main and Annex, that is two classes ("Vinyasa Mondays Main", "Vinyasa Mondays Annex"), each attached to its location.
What students see
A studio with multiple locations gets:
- Multiple pins on the city map. Each location is its own pin.
- A "Filter by location" toggle on the class list. Students can narrow to "only at Main" if they prefer one venue.
- Locations listed on the profile. With map and addresses.
- Per-class location indicator. Every class card shows which location.
Some students follow a specific location (it is on their commute, parking is easier). The per-location filter helps them.
Geographic distribution
Locations do NOT all have to be in the same city. A studio with venues in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens is one studio account; each location shows up in its respective city directory.
A franchise spread across multiple regions can use this, but think about whether multiple studio accounts (one per region) would be cleaner. The deciding question: are the operations actually unified (single owner, single Stripe, single CRM) or are they franchisees that should each manage themselves?
Editing a location
Click into a location on the management page. You can edit:
- The name and address.
- Notes.
- Photo.
- Operating hours.
If you change the address on a location with active classes, those classes update automatically and students booked on future sessions get an email about the venue change.
Be careful with last-minute venue changes; a few-days-before move is courtesy-positive (everyone gets emailed) but a few-hours-before move stresses students.
Deactivating a location
Mark a location inactive when you no longer use it. The location disappears from your public profile, the directory, and the class creation dropdown. Classes attached to it are NOT automatically reassigned; they continue to show the deactivated location's address (frozen).
If you want to fully retire a location, move its active classes to a different location first, then deactivate.
Inactive locations can be reactivated by clicking "Reactivate". They do NOT count toward your tier's location cap while inactive.
Permanently deleting a location
Only possible if no classes are attached. Inactive locations can be deleted; the address record disappears entirely.
This is rare; most studios keep historical locations as inactive for record-keeping.
Common questions
Can I have a "primary" location that shows on my profile header? Yes. The first location you added is the primary by default. To change, edit the location and toggle "Set as primary".
My studio operates in two cities. Should I use one studio account or two? Either works. One account is cleaner administratively (single login, single CRM, unified financials) but spreads the brand across cities. Two accounts isolate the operations. If the cities are in different countries with different tax setups, two accounts are usually better.
Can different locations have different cancellation policies? The cancellation policy is per-class, not per-location. You can have stricter policies at one location by setting them per-class for the classes at that location.
Can different locations have different teaching teams (different rosters)? The mentor roster is at the studio level (one roster for the whole studio). Individual classes can be assigned to a specific teacher; you can absolutely have "John teaches at the Main location, Sarah teaches at the Annex" by setting that up class-by-class.
