Yoga Studio Loyalty Program That Keeps Students Coming Back
Students join from the QR code at your front desk and keep your card in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet or the BonusQR app. Your team scans it before class, on any phone or tablet – no studio software needed. Start free with unlimited students.
The QR code at the front desk, the card on the student’s phone, one scan before class.
What is a yoga studio loyalty program?
A yoga studio loyalty program rewards students for practising with you regularly: a free class after every tenth one, a welcome discount on the first visit, or a reward for bringing a friend. Practice works best as a habit, and a reward that is only a few classes away helps the habit stay with your studio.
With BonusQR, students scan the QR code at your front desk, sign in with Google, Apple or e-mail and can keep your card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. When they arrive for class, your team scans the student’s code, and the stamp or visit is added straight away.
There is nothing to install at the desk and no paper punch cards to lose in a gym bag. You can start on the free plan with unlimited students and 7 types of loyalty programs, and move to a paid plan only when you want one of its features.
How a yoga studio loyalty program works, from the door to the mat
One morning at a studio that runs BonusQR: what the student does, what your team does, and what waits after the next class.
6:50 am
A QR code at the front desk
Students scan the QR code on the stand at your front desk. It opens your studio’s page in the BonusQR app, with your rewards on it. The stand, a sticker, a QR page and a flyer are free to print from your account.
Your studioSign in to collect stamps, credit and coupons at this business.Sign in with GoogleSign in with AppleContinue with e-mail
Signed in, card saved
They sign in with Google, Apple or e-mail and can add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or keep it in the BonusQR app. Nothing to download first, and no paper punch card to forget at home.
Your team scans the student’s code with BonusQR on a phone or tablet and answers one prompt: the number of classes for a punch card, or the amount for cashback. A reward for visits needs nothing typed at all.
When a goal is reached, the coupon waits in the student’s app, and on the wallet card if they saved one. Your team scans its QR code to redeem it, and stamps or visits above the goal carry over to the next one.
Scan with a phone or tablet, a USB or Bluetooth reader, or the optional BonusQR Scanner for the counter. No POS is needed; a POS link through the BonusQR REST API is a custom project, quoted separately.
Which loyalty program fits a yoga or pilates studio?
BonusQR starts you with a simple program. Keep it, change it, or build your own from the ideas below.
Your Google Maps listingName, address and photo filled in for you
Other
Your starter program
Welcome coupon10% DiscountYou will receive it immediately after registration
Cashback5% cashbackCash back on every payment
Type your studio’s name as it appears on Google Maps and choose “Other”. BonusQR fills in the name, address and photo and sets up a 10% welcome discount and 5% cashback, which you can look over before you print your QR code. Most studios add a punch card for classes beside them. No Google Maps listing yet? The custom setup takes about five minutes.
Free
Every tenth class free
Each class earns a stamp, and ten stamps give a coupon for a free class. Easy to explain at the desk, and it works the same for mat yoga, reformer pilates or a barre class.
Every scan counts as a visit. After the number of visits you choose, students get a coupon, for example a mat towel or a free workshop place. Nothing to type at the desk.
Students share their personal link. When a friend creates a new account and comes to a first class, the student who invited them gets a coupon. Available on the Premium plan.
A punch card with 2 to 5 stages, each with its own coupon, for example a herbal tea after 5 classes and a free class after 10. The card starts again after the last stage. Available on the Basic plan.
One offer can combine several programs. It needs one main program, such as a stamp card, cashback or a reward for visits; a welcome coupon or a discount can sit beside it.
All 12 loyalty programs for studios, as students see them in the app
01. Loyalty module
Stamp Card
The stamp card loyalty module in a loyalty application rewards customers with virtual stamps for each purchase, unlocking discounts or free items as they collect stamps. This digital system enhances engagement, boosts customer retention and offers convenience and easy tracking.
02. Loyalty module
Points System
The Points System loyalty module allows customers to earn points based on their purchases, with the flexibility to define the value of each point (for example, 1 point for each unit of your currency). You can set up a variety of items or rewards that customers can redeem with their accumulated points. Available in the Basic plan.
03. Loyalty module
Tiered Cashback
The Cashback loyalty module rewards customers with a percentage of their purchase amount back as credit for future use. You can customize the cashback value or set up a tiered cashback system, where customers earn higher cashback percentages as they spend more. Available in the Premium plan.
04. Loyalty module
Reward for Spend
The Reward for Spend loyalty module encourages higher spending by granting customers a coupon each time they reach a defined spending threshold that you set. Amounts add up from visit to visit, and anything spent above the goal counts toward the next coupon.
05. Loyalty module
Reward for Visit
With the Reward for Visit loyalty module, customers receive a reward after a certain number of QR code scans during their visits. For example, after 5 visits, they unlock a coupon. This system promotes frequent returns and helps build a consistent customer base.
06. Loyalty module
Fixed Discount
The Fixed Discount loyalty module allows you to assign specific discount rates to different customer groups. For example, a group of regulars can get 10% off every purchase, or all members 20% off on quiet afternoons. Staff see the discount when they scan the customer’s code. Groups that update themselves (automated groups) need the Basic plan.
07. Loyalty module
Onboarding Promotion
The Onboarding Promotion module gives new users an instant incentive by providing a one-time coupon after registration. This welcome gift helps convert signups into active users by giving them a reason to make their first purchase quickly.
08. Loyalty module
Special Occasion
The Special Occasion loyalty module enables you to surprise your audience with a one-time coupon on selected holidays or celebrations (for example, birthdays, Valentine’s Day or a date you choose). The coupon goes out automatically on the day or a few days before. Available in the Premium plan.
09. Loyalty module
Tiered Stamp Card
The Tiered Stamp Card module rewards customers at several stages of one stamp card, for example with a coffee after 5 stamps and a dessert after 10. Each stage reached gives its own coupon, so the next reward is always within reach. Available in the Basic plan.
10. Loyalty module
Referral System
With the Referral System module, customers share their personal link and earn a coupon for bringing in friends. You decide how many friends it takes (1 to 5) and what the reward is. A friend counts once they sign up through the link and show their QR code on a visit. Available in the Premium plan.
11. Loyalty module
Custom Offer
The Custom Offer module lets you show your own offer or announcement among your members' bonuses, such as a lunch deal, a happy hour or a members-only price. A headline is all it needs, and you can add several offers. Included in the free plan.
12. Loyalty module
Cashback
With the Cashback module, customers get a percentage of every bill back as credit, which they can use to pay one of their next bills. Staff only enter the bill amount and the credit is added automatically. Included in the free plan.
Class packs, private sessions and news in the same app
A loyalty card is one part of a student’s week at your studio. These features cover the rest, from a class pack bought in advance to the news about a new timetable, and each one shows the plan it needs.
Class packs sold in the app
Basic
Sell a pack of classes in advance: the student pays online in the app and gets one coupon for each class, redeemed with a scan at the desk.
List the services you offer by appointment, such as a private lesson or a reformer session, with their durations, your instructors and opening hours. Students book in the app or on your booking page; bookings add no stamps or visits.
Tell students about a new class, a workshop or a changed timetable. News in the app is free; push notifications and e-mail are on Basic, every 4 days, and on Premium once a day.
Students fall into groups by your rules, such as regulars who came every month or students not seen for 30 days, and you send each group news or a coupon. Groups are recalculated every hour.
Sell a class or a private session as a gift: the buyer pays online, and the voucher arrives by e-mail with its QR code. It is one coupon, not a money balance; payments run through Stripe and BonusQR keeps a 5% commission.
Signed-in students rate their visit with 1 to 5 stars and a comment. If you switch on the Google step and your Google listing is linked, those who give 4 or 5 stars can continue to your Google review form with their comment copied; nothing is posted for them.
After the number of visits you choose, BonusQR asks the student once, by e-mail and push notification, to review your studio on Google. It needs your linked Google profile.
Also on Basic: 5 staff logins with a history of who scanned, several locations in one account and your own link, such as bonusqr.com/your-business. Several locations in one account

More Visits, Prepaid Passes and Useful Insights...
With BonusQR, customers started visiting our spa more regularly – they’re motivated by the points they earn with each visit. We also sell prepaid passes directly in the app, so customers get a better price, and we receive payment upfront. On top of that, we get valuable statistics about visits and customer behavior. It’s a smart way to improve both our operations and our customer relationships.

Loyalty and Marketing in One Smart System...
We’ve been using BonusQR for over a year and it has become a key part of our business. It helps us build a strong database of loyal clients. But it’s more than just a loyalty app – we also use it for marketing. We can send news or promotions via email and push notification directly from the app. We also manage our own offers and discounts, so customers always see what’s new. BonusQR saves us time and helps us stay connected with our clients.

Better Attendance at Our Special Events...
We often organize events like Valentine’s Day, Christmas, birthdays, or Children’s Day – and BonusQR is a great way to promote them. Before each event, we send a welcome coupon or special offer directly to customer profiles. Since we started sending these personalized rewards, we’ve seen a much higher turnout. Customers love getting something extra, and of course – they enjoy collecting points along the way.

Complete Business Toolkit in One App...
With BonusQR, we have everything we need in one single app – loyalty system, booking system, marketing emails, service pre-sales, and even customer reviews. If we wanted to develop something like this ourselves, it would cost thousands. Instead, we just pay a monthly subscription and can manage everything on our own. It’s incredibly flexible and easy to use – no need to contact support. We love the freedom it gives us.

What is the best loyalty program for a yoga studio?
The one students understand at a glance. A punch card – for example, every tenth class free – rewards regular practice; a welcome coupon turns a trial class into a second visit, and a referral reward helps students bring friends. With BonusQR you can combine several programs in one offer and add or replace programs later. The tiered stamp card is available on the Basic plan, referral and birthday coupons on Premium.
How does a yoga studio loyalty program work?
Students scan the QR code at your front desk, which opens your page in the BonusQR app, sign in with Google, Apple or e-mail and can save the loyalty card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. When they arrive, your team scans the student’s code with a phone, tablet, QR code reader or the BonusQR Scanner and, for a punch card, enters the number of classes. Stamps, visits and coupons are added automatically, and a coupon is redeemed by scanning its QR code.
Can students buy class packs in the app?
Yes, on the Basic plan. You add a class pack to your page in the app; the student pays online through Stripe and receives one coupon for each class in the pack. Your team scans a coupon’s QR code when the student comes to class.
Do students need to download an app?
No. Your loyalty page works in the browser, and students can save the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet; the BonusQR app for iPhone and Android is optional.
How much does a yoga studio loyalty program cost?
You can start on the BonusQR free plan, free forever, with unlimited students and 7 types of loyalty programs, including the stamp card, the reward for visits and the welcome coupon. Basic and Premium add more program types and features such as class packs, appointment booking and push notifications; the pricing page shows their prices in your currency. No credit card is needed to sign up.
Does it work for pilates and reformer classes too?
Yes. The card counts classes, not a style: you can run one punch card for every class in the studio, or a separate one for reformer pilates beside your yoga card in the same offer.
Can students book a private session in the same app?
Yes, with appointment booking on the Basic plan. You list services with their durations, your instructors and opening hours, and students book a free slot in the app or on your booking page. Bookings do not add stamps or visits; those come from the scan at the desk.
Can we reward students who bring a friend?
Yes, with the referral system on the Premium plan. Each student gets a personal link to share; a friend counts once they create a new account and come to a first class, and the student who invited them receives the coupon.
