> FlexDropin is a mobile app (iOS and Android) for drop-in fitness. Athletes find gyms, studios and personal trainers across 41 sport categories, book single classes and pay per class with no membership. Gyms, studios and personal trainers list their classes, set their own prices and pay a 15% commission only on paid bookings, with no subscription or setup fee.
## Key facts
- Free to download on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
- No subscription for athletes: you pay only for the individual classes you book.
- Payments are processed by Stripe; bookings are charged on the venue's own Stripe Connect account and the 15% commission is deducted automatically.
- Venues set their own prices; FlexDropin never sets or discounts them.
- Push reminders are sent about an hour before each class.
- Available in English and Italian. Founded in 2026 by Maria Petaccia.

**How much does it cost to become a FlexDropin partner?**
Nothing to join: no subscription and no setup fee. You pay a 15% commission only on the paid bookings you receive through the app.
**What is the platform commission?**
15% of each paid booking, deducted automatically in the same Stripe transaction. On a $20.00 class you receive $17.00, minus Stripe's card processing fee. Venues outside the EU pay no VAT on the commission.
**Can US gyms charge and get paid in US dollars?**
Yes. Venues in the United States set their class prices in US dollars, athletes pay in dollars, and Stripe pays out to your US bank account in dollars.
**When do I get paid?**
Bookings are charged on your own Stripe account, and Stripe pays out to your bank account once a month.
**How is FlexDropin different from ClassPass?**
On FlexDropin you set the price of every class, athletes see that price, and you pay 15% only on paid bookings. ClassPass agrees a confidential rate floor with each studio and lists classes in credits; its own partner FAQ says it often pays a lower per-spot rate than a direct booking.
**Can personal trainers join?**
Yes. You can publish single or recurring sessions at the address where you train, set your price, and pay 15% only on paid bookings.
**How long does activation take?**
Download the app, create your account, register your venue and connect your account with Stripe. You're online in minutes.
**Can I create recurring classes?**
Yes. In addition to single classes you can create recurring series (e.g. every Monday at 9:00). Instances are generated automatically.
**Is FlexDropin a membership management system?**
No. FlexDropin doesn't replace your membership software: it's built to sell single classes and spare spots to people without a membership, with no cards or renewals to manage.
**Can I sell single classes without a membership?**
Yes, that's exactly what FlexDropin is for: you create the class, set the price and available spots, and anyone can book and pay without signing up for a membership.
**How do I sell my spare class spots online?**
Create the class in the app (single or recurring) and set the price and available spots: it becomes visible on FlexDropin, and anyone looking for flexible access can book and pay directly.
