Mat Track – The Best bsport Alternative for Martial Arts Academies

bsport is a popular management platform for boutique fitness studios across Europe — especially yoga, Pilates, cycling, barre, and wellness studios.
But martial arts academies operate completely differently.

Mat Track is the modern, martial-arts–first alternative to bsport — built specifically for BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and fast-growing multi-location academies.

No credit card required

Mat Track offers:

✅ 0% per-transaction fees
✅ Purpose-built BJJ/MMA attendance & trial workflows
✅ Multi-location tools that scale

Why martial arts academies switch from bsport to Mat Track

1. No booking required — perfect for BJJ, MMA, and Muay Thai

bsport requires members to book every class and expects:

  • A branded app

  • Time-slot selection

  • Capacity rules

  • Attendance tied to bookings

This is perfect for:

  • Yoga

  • Pilates

  • Spinning

  • HIIT

  • Barre

But martial arts doesn’t work this way.

Mat Track removes all friction:

  • No reservations

  • QR check-in

  • Manual FOH check-in

  • Kids/teens logic

  • Family check-in

  • Attendance heatmaps

  • Front-desk simplicity

One tap → student is checked in.
That’s martial arts.

2. True trial → member conversion funnel (bsport doesn’t have one)

bsport was built for pre-booked intro classes — not martial arts trials.

Its trial flows are based on:

  • Discounts

  • Introductory class packs

  • App-based booking

This doesn’t match BJJ or Muay Thai.

Mat Track has the most advanced martial arts trial system:

  • Location-specific trial pages

  • Auto-generated QR trial codes

  • Walk-in trials (no booking needed)

  • Automated confirmation emails

  • Trial attendance tracking

  • Trial → “trial completed” → paying progression

  • FOH “next step” prompt on every trial

  • One-tap payment link

  • Family trial bundles under one parent

If your academy relies on trials for growth, this is non-negotiable.

3. Family accounts: a martial arts essential that bsport doesn’t handle

bsport’s architecture is built for individual fitness users.

In martial arts:

  • One parent pays for multiple kids

  • Kids train several times a week

  • Parents want a simple check-in experience

  • Kids programmes dominate revenue

But bsport:

  • Has no simple family check-in

  • Doesn’t offer family trials

  • Doesn’t support unified billing workflows

  • Doesn’t handle multiple family members elegantly

Mat Track solves all of this:

  • One parent → unlimited children

  • One payment method

  • Family trials

  • Family check-in in one tap

  • Parent receives all communications

  • Beautiful FOH workflows

It’s night and day.

4. Multi-location support built for martial arts — not boutique fitness

bsport’s multi-location features were designed for boutique studios that operate independently with separate timetables.

Martial arts academies are different:

  • Students train across locations

  • Parents move kids between clubs

  • Coaches rotate between academies

  • All locations share a brand identity

Mat Track handles this perfectly:

  • Multiple Stripe accounts under one organisation

  • Multi-location attendance and retention analytics

  • Cross-location training tracking

  • Location-specific trial pages

  • Staff permissions by club

  • Unified or location-specific memberships

You can scale from 1 → 2 → 5 → 10 academies without friction.

5. Retention intelligence that bsport lacks

bsport offers basic analytics — but nothing customised for martial arts retention, especially kids.

bsport gives:

  • Attendance reports

  • Membership status

  • Revenue figures

Mat Track gives:

  • Attendance frequency decay alerts

  • Predictive churn scoring

  • Kids retention insights

  • Multi-location retention dashboard

  • At-risk member lists

  • FOH follow-up prompts

  • Clear member status system

This is how you prevent churn before it happens.

6. Front-of-House workflows built for martial arts chaos

bsport is designed for owner-led fitness studios where staff roles are light.

But martial arts operations rely heavily on FOH staff:

  • Checking in 40+ kids in 5 minutes

  • Managing families

  • Handling trials

  • Resolving delinquent payments

  • Converting walk-ins

  • Supporting multiple evening classes

bsport wasn’t designed for this.

Mat Track’s FOH tools include:

  • Quick check-in view

  • Delinquency alerts

  • “Next Step” assistant

  • QR trial scanning

  • Family check-in

  • Family billing info

  • Trial-stage status

  • Payment links surfaced immediately

It dramatically reduces FOH headaches.

7. Retention insights PushPress doesn’t offer

Retention is the heartbeat of martial arts academies.

Mat Track includes:

  • Predictive churn scoring

  • At-risk member lists

  • Behaviour-based retention signals

  • Kids retention tracking

  • Staff follow-up prompts

  • Cross-location retention reports

PushPress offers basic attendance reports — nothing as deep.

8. Designed for real Front-of-House teams

Mat Track:

  • Displays actionable next-step boxes

  • Shows trial status, payment links, time preferences

  • Highlights delinquent payments

  • Provides clean, fast check-in views

  • Reduces taps and training time

  • Offers restricted staff permissions

  • Gives daily to-do workflows

PushPress assumes owner-operators.
Mat Track assumes a full team.

Ready. Set. Grow.
