For martial arts gyms
Students book a trial class and sign your liability waiver in the same step. Take trial fees, drop-ins, and seminar payments through your own processor with no booking fees, and every signer becomes a contact you own.
Flat monthly price · 0% of your bookings · You own and export your contacts
Between trial classes, open mats, kids' programs, and seminars, most dojos run on a stack of tools that don't talk to each other. Here's where the front desk leaks time and money.
Every new student, drop-in, and trial class is one more form to chase, file, and hope you can find again. A parent signs for a minor on a busy Saturday open mat, and the form ends up in a binder nobody can locate two years later when it actually matters.
Your scheduler doesn't know who signed, and your waiver app doesn't know who booked. White belts walk onto the mat unsigned, and coaches stop class to print and hand out clipboards before anyone can roll.
Trial classes and intro packages are loss leaders meant to convert people into members. Give a platform a percentage of every trial sign-up and every drop-in fee and you've turned your cheapest funnel into your most expensive one.
One system in place of a booking tool, a separate waiver app, and a marketing tool, built for the way a BJJ academy, karate dojo, or MMA gym actually runs.
A prospect reserves a free trial BJJ class or a kids' karate intro and signs your liability and injury-assumption waiver in the same flow. Nobody steps on the mat unsigned, and your coaches aren't handing out clipboards anymore.
Most martial arts students are kids. The parent or guardian signs as the responsible party, the minor is recorded as the participant, and you can capture whatever else you need on the same form: emergency contact, medical conditions, a photo release for tournament footage.
Every signature is hashed, chained to the one before it, IP-stamped, and saved as a PDF. If a sparring or grappling injury turns into a claim, you hand your insurer a defensible record instead of a photo of a binder page.
Charge trial fees, drop-in mat fees, seminar tickets, and belt-test fees through your own Stripe, Square, or Shopify Payments account. Flat monthly price, no per-booking cut, and you keep 100% of every membership and drop-in.
The trial students who never came back are your biggest leak. With explicit, TCPA-compliant opt-in, each waiver signer joins a contact list you own and can export. Reach back out to the white belt who tried one class and disappeared.
Paste one JavaScript snippet on your gym's site to take trial bookings, or list seminars and intro offers through the Shopify App Store and Square Marketplace. Meet students wherever they already find you.
Yes. Most martial arts students are kids, so a parent or guardian signs as the responsible party while the minor is recorded as the participant. Add custom fields for emergency contacts, medical notes, and a photo release, and every signature is captured with a tamper-evident audit trail.
No. Simplo charges a flat monthly price and keeps 0% of your bookings. Connect your own Stripe, Square, or Shopify Payments account and trial fees, drop-in mat fees, seminar tickets, and belt-test payments go straight to you. No per-booking fees.
Yes, that's the whole point. A prospect picks a slot for a free trial or intro class and signs your liability and injury-assumption waiver in the same step. Nobody shows up to roll or spar unsigned, and your coaches aren't printing clipboard forms anymore.
A standalone waiver tool signs people but has no idea who booked, and your booking app has no idea who signed. Simplo replaces both, plus a marketing tool, so the booking, the waiver, and the customer record are one record. And there's no per-booking cut.
A martial arts gym lives on its trial funnel. Someone watches a class, books a free intro, and either signs up or disappears. The clipboard at the door, the white belt who rolls before signing, the trial student you never followed up with: that's all friction in the funnel, and Simplo takes it out. See how each piece fits in our features overview, compare plans on pricing, and look up terms like e-signature waivers and bring-your-own payments in the glossary.
