An employer pays for their team's classes. You link each employee to a membership, and Avana sends the company a single invoice every month.
Avana Studio is studio software for corporate memberships paid by employers in the UK. An employer pays for its staff's memberships and receives one invoice from the studio each month; this comes with Studio Max. Studio costs £17.99 a month, Studio Plus £35.99 and Studio Max £65.99, all VAT included, with 0% commission, no setup fee and a 7-day free trial.
A local business wants to look after its people. With a corporate membership those people train with you, and the employer pays. One conversation can bring you an entire group of regulars.
On the first of the month, Avana creates one invoice per company for the month before, with a line for each member. It goes with the PDF to the company's invoice address, carrying their purchase order number if they want one.
When the company takes on someone new, you link them and they can book straight away. When someone leaves, you remove them. Their membership runs to the end of the month, and that month is the last one on the invoice.
The company pays by bank transfer into your own account. Once it arrives, you mark the invoice as paid. For each company you see its members, what it pays each month and which invoices are still open.
Add a company once.From then on, every month looks after itself.
Its name, address and the email address for invoices. A VAT number, a contact and a PO number can go on too.
For each employee, an email address and a membership from your packages. They have the membership at once and pay nothing themselves.
A linked member books on your studio page and in the app, like anyone else with a membership.
On the first of the month one invoice goes to the company, with a line per member. You don't lift a finger.
Someone training with you through work simply books a spot on your schedule.They see the membership in the app, get the same confirmations and reminders, and never pay a thing.A corporate member belongs from day one.
Offices or businesses nearby, or members asking whether their employer could pay?Then this will sound familiar.
Add the company and link its employees. On the first of the month, the invoice goes out by itself.
Clear arrangements with the company mean every invoice is right.
In Avana you add the company on the Corporate tab, with the details for the invoice. Then you link each employee to a membership. The member can book straight away, and the company receives one invoice a month.
On the first of every month, Avana creates one invoice per company for the month before, with a line for each member. It's emailed with the PDF to the company's invoice address. The company then pays it by bank transfer within fourteen days.
No, a member on a corporate membership pays nothing in Avana. The membership is ready straight away, and they book on your studio page and in the app like every other member. Cancelling and the waitlist work exactly the same.
When you remove a member from a company, their membership runs until the end of the month. That month still appears on the invoice, and the next one doesn't. There are no part months and no credit notes to sort out.
Yes, you can give each company a reference, such as a PO number. It appears on every invoice and in the email to the company. You can also add a contact person for the company.
Corporate memberships are part of Studio Max, Avana's largest plan for studios. It also includes reports, the live revenue view and the Manager and Accountant roles. You can try Avana free for 7 days before you pay anything.

See all featuresAvana is studio software where an employer pays for their staff's memberships and receives one invoice from you every month. More and more businesses want to support the health of their people, and a yoga, Pilates or bootcamp studio round the corner is a natural place for it. For you, a company means a group of members in one go, with income arriving every month. The fiddly part is usually the admin: who belongs to which company, and what should go on this month's invoice?
With a corporate membership, an employer pays for an employee's membership. The employee trains with you as an ordinary member, with a spot on your schedule and the same cancellation rules. The difference is who pays: the company, with one invoice covering all its people.
That's different from a platform like ClassPass or Wellhub, where a member arrives through a third party and you're paid per visit. With a corporate membership you agree the deal directly with the company, at your own price. Read how studio memberships work as well.
Start close to home. Look at which members already work for a larger employer nearby, and ask whether that employer does anything for staff wellbeing. An enthusiastic member often opens the door to HR. Offices, clinics and schools on your street are a sensible place to begin too.
Make it easy for a company: one membership per employee, one invoice per month, and they can stop at the end of any month. A trial class for the whole team helps get the first employees through the door. See how a trial class and intro offer work.
Agree upfront which membership each employee gets, unlimited or a set number of classes a month, and what it costs per month. Settle how invoicing works: monthly in arrears, a line per employee, payable within a fixed term. Ask whether the company needs a purchase order number or reference on the invoice, because many accounts teams won't pay without one.
Also agree what happens when someone joins or leaves. The simplest rule: anyone linked during a month counts for that whole month, and leaving takes effect at the end of the month. Then the invoice is always right and you never have to work out a refund.
Most companies have their own way of handling a perk like this, and that's between them and their accountant. You don't need to arrange anything on that side. What they need from you is a tidy invoice with your details, the period it covers and, for each employee, the membership.
Avana takes care of that. Each invoice has its own number, a line per member and the company's reference, and goes to the email address they gave you for invoices.
A yoga studio or Pilates studio suits offices well: calm classes before or after work, for stress and stiff backs. A bootcamp or gym attracts teams that want to train together. For a physio clinic with group classes it's more often about recovery and a healthy posture at work.
It works the same everywhere: the company pays, the employee books, and you see per company who is training.
A corporate member should feel like any other member. They book themselves, see the membership in the app and get the same confirmations. Behind the scenes, the system has to know which member belongs to which company and turn that into an invoice every month.
Watch what happens when your prices change. In Avana the price per employee is fixed when you link them, so a company never gets an unexpectedly higher invoice. And a member can never belong to two companies at once, so nothing is billed twice.
In Avana you add the company on the Corporate tab and link the employees to a membership. On the first of the month one invoice per company goes to its accounts team with the PDF, and the invoice also sits with your other invoices. When the money arrives, you mark it as paid. Corporate memberships are part of Studio Max. See the prices on this page, or try it free for 7 days first.
You agree a membership per employee and a monthly invoice with an employer. In Avana you add the company, link the employees to a membership, and one invoice goes to the company every month automatically. It's part of Studio Max.
The simplest way is one invoice a month in arrears, with a line per employee. Avana creates that invoice on the first of the month, emails it with the PDF to the company and adds the company's reference or PO number.
Yes, with a corporate membership the employer pays and the employee trains as an ordinary member. In Avana the member pays nothing, books on your studio page and in the app, and the company gets one invoice a month for all its people.
With ClassPass, a member comes through a platform and you're paid per visit. With a corporate membership you agree the deal with the company yourself, at your own price. Avana supports both: corporate memberships on Studio Max, and on Studio Plus you can hold spots for platform bookings, which you add by hand or import from the platform's export.
