Will I lose my data when I switch?

No. Your client records, active packages, and upcoming schedule are migrated as part of the switch, and our team verifies everything before you go live.

I'm a UK or EU studio. Does Arketa work for me?

Yes — Arketa supports international studios, including currency, tax, and payment processing setups outside the US. Talk to your onboarding specialist about your specific region during the demo.

What kind of support will I get?

Real-human live chat, plus phone and email support — from people who've actually worked behind a studio front desk, not a scripted ticket queue. You also get an organized library of help documents for anything you want to solve yourself.

How does Arketa's pricing compare to Glofox?

Arketa is quote-based, so your specific plan depends on your studio's size and needs — a member of our team will walk you through pricing on your demo call. Unlike some gym-first platforms, there's no separate charge to get your own editable website.

Arketa vs Glofox

Built by people who've actually worked behind a boutique studio's front desk, not a gym platform with studio features tacked on. We handle the entire switch — zero revenue lost.

Why studios choose Arketa over Glofox

Real humans, not a ticket queue

93% customer satisfaction score — real people who've worked behind the front desk, not a scripted bot. When something breaks on a Friday night, you reach someone who's done your job before.

Built for boutique studios, not gyms

Glofox was designed for gym floors and had studio features added later. Arketa was built for boutique fitness from day one — it looks and feels like a studio platform, not a membership management tool.

Your website, not a workaround

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.
