Built for Boutique Studios
CodexFit is designed specifically for boutique studios - Pilates, Yoga, Cycling, Strength, and hybrid concepts, where brand, experience, and operational detail matter.
Glofox is built to support a wide range of fitness businesses, including traditional gyms and larger membership-based models. While this flexibility works well for some, boutique studios can find the experience less tailored as brand and operational detail become more important.
Brand & Client Experience
With CodexFit, your studio stays front and centre:
- Fully white-labelled app
- Native, branded booking flows
- Brand-controlled emails, SMS, and notifications
Clients never feel like they’ve left your studio’s world.
With Glofox, branding options are available, but depth often varies by plan, and parts of the booking and app experience can still feel platform-led rather than studio-first.
Automation & Revenue
CodexFit’s automations are designed around revenue outcomes, powered by Codex Automater:
- Reducing no-shows
- Re-engaging inactive members
- Supporting upgrades and retention
- Cutting hours of manual admin
Automation is built into one connected system, using live data from bookings, payments, and attendance. This becomes more important as studios rely less on manual follow-up and more on systems to support growth.
Glofox offers messaging and campaigns, but automation is typically more limited and focused on reminders rather than proactive revenue protection.
Reporting & Insight
CodexFit gives founders clear, real-time insight into:
- What’s driving revenue
- Class fill and utilisation
- Retention signals
- Performance across locations
All in one place, without relying on exports or manual reconciliation
Glofox provides core reporting, but deeper insight often depends on plan level, and studios may need additional analysis to get a full picture.
Scaling, Products & Revenue Streams
CodexFit is built to support how modern studios actually grow, beyond classes alone.
Studios can:
- Create native, flexible credits and memberships that work across classes, workshops & event and wellness services (e.g PT, recovery, bodywork)
- Set rules for single-location or multi-site access
- Combine different booking types without splitting products, pricing, or workflows
This matters most once studios move beyond a single membership or class-only model. As studios expand their offerings, everything stays connected in one system, without introducing extra tools or operational complexity.
Glofox works well for membership-led, class-based studios.
While studios can offer additional products like workshops or services, managing multiple revenue streams often requires:
- Separate product setups
- Less flexible credit usage across booking types
- More manual processes as offerings diversify
For studios expanding beyond core classes, this can make scaling feel more operationally heavy over time.
Support & Partnership
Every CodexFit studio works with a named support partner, backed by a London-based team that offers both technical help and strategic guidance.
With Glofox, support quality can vary by plan, and studios typically interact with a broader support team rather than a dedicated partner.
