Glofox was designed for gym floors and tacked on studio features later. Arketa was built for boutique fitness from day one. Your software should look and feel like a studio platform, not a membership management tool.

Arketa includes a drag-and-drop website builder you can edit yourself; schedule, pricing, and copy update instantly. Glofox has no native website builder, so studios bolt on WordPress or Wix and manage two systems that don't talk to each other.

“I think the team at Arketa knows the challenges already. They've experienced them, they've worked in studios, they've either owned studios, worked at the front desk, been a teacher, whatever it is, they have a real lived experience of what I'm probably going through. And so also because of that, they usually meet me with the same tone. If something's urgent, they know it's urgent.“
