Bee Inclined has been helping class-based businesses cut their admin since 2016. We're on a mission..... we want to help businesses by saving them time, keeping their classes full and increasing their profits.
And so far we're doing a good job of it. Our systems have handled over 350,000 class swaps to date, which adds up to a lot of time saved and a lot of class spaces filled for Bee Inclined members.
We'd rather let our members speak for us. In 2026, Bee Inclined was named Best Ease of Use by Capterra, and picked up Most Recommended and Best Customer Support from Software Advice across both the Yoga Studio and Pilates Studio categories - all based on verified reviews from instructors who use it every week.
Recognised by Capterra and Software Advice in 2026
Based on verified reviews from instructors and studios who use Bee Inclined every week.
It all began with a conversation in 2014. A Northamptonshire Pilates teacher had tried a number of solutions for managing their class swaps without success, and approached us to design and build something dedicated to the job.
We spent the next two years designing and testing it with real classes before launching Bee Inclined properly in 2016. Since then we have continued to work closely with a core group of Pilates instructors, ensuring the class swap solution stays easy to use for both instructors and clients.
