FitDesk

FitDesk is built for independent UK personal trainers. The platform has no monthly fee and no client cap. You publish your availability and name your own session types, for one to one or group sessions. Clients book from your scheduler. Email reminders go out about 24 hours and about 1 hour before a session. You set your own cancellation window (24 hours by default). Payments are cash and Stripe card only. The Android app is on Google Play and the iPhone app is on the way. The web app works in a mobile browser too. FitDesk plans to stay free.

No monthly fee. 0.7% on Stripe card payments through FitDesk, minimum 1p per card payment. Stripe's own fees still apply. Cash has no FitDesk fee.
