Studio Punch Card

Digital class packs for small yoga and dance studios, tracked by phone number.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

Small fitness studios sell 5 and 10 class packs but track them on paper cards that get lost. This app lets front desk staff look up a student by phone, check them in and see classes left. Students get a text when they are down to one class.

Who it is for
Owners of single location yoga, pilates and dance studios
How it makes money
Monthly subscription per studio
Suggested stack
Next.js, MySQL, Twilio for text messages

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Studio Punch Card. Start with studio login, a Students page (name, phone, email) and a Pack Types page where the owner defines packs with name, number of classes, price and expiry days.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Add a check in screen: search a student by phone, show their active pack with classes remaining and expiry date, and a big Check In button that subtracts one class and logs the visit with date and class name. Use Twilio to text the student when one class is left.

PROMPT 3 OF 3

Add Stripe checkout so students can buy a new pack from a link in the text and have it credited automatically. Add an owner dashboard with packs sold, visits per week and packs about to expire.
