Peerspace vs. Studio Planner: Which is Right for Fitness Professionals?

Peerspace has done an incredible job opening up the world of short-term rentals. From birthday parties to music video shoots, it's the Airbnb of events. But if you are a fitness professional trying to run a weekly class, "event" platforms often fall short.

The "Recurring" Problem

Fitness is a habit. Your students want to come to "Tuesday Night Yoga" every single week. They need consistency.

The Peerspace Experience:
You book a Tuesday. Then you have to go back and book the next Tuesday. And the next. Each booking is a separate transaction. If someone else books "your" slot for a baby shower three weeks from now, your class is cancelled. You cannot build a business on unstable ground.

The Studio Planner Experience:
We built our "Series Booking" engine specifically for this use case. You select "Tuesdays at 6 PM," choose your start and end dates (e.g., a 12-week semester), and book the entire block in one click. The studio owner approves the whole series at once. Your slot is secured.

Cost Structure

Event rentals command a premium. A space that might rent for $150/hr for a film shoot is priced for corporate budgets, not freelance instructor budgets.

Feature	General Event Platforms	Studio Planner
Primary Audience	Photographers, Event Planners	Fitness Instructors
Recurring Bookings	Difficult / Manual	Native / One-Click
Insurance	Often Extra Cost	Verified & Integrated
Avg. Hourly Cost	$75 - $200+	$30 - $75

Community vs. Commodity

Finally, there is the question of culture. When you book on a general platform, you are a transaction. When you book on Studio Planner, you are entering a network of wellness professionals.

Our studio owners specifically want fitness activities in their space. They understand the need for mirrors, sound systems, and sprung floors. They aren't worried about you spilling red wine on the carpet because you aren't throwing a party—you're building a community.
