One studio. Every hat. Finally, a back office.

You teach, you fix the schedule, you answer the DMs — and the numbers side waits for a Sunday that never comes. Xyzios is the back office you can't hire yet: it reads everything through the day, drafts the follow-up work, and hands you the day already ranked.

The short answer

What does Xyzios do for a single-location studio owner?

It is the back office a one-studio owner can’t hire yet. Xyzios reads your booking platform, ads and books into live boards, flags the members who are fading and the intro offers about to end, and drafts the follow-up for your approval. You approve in minutes, and nothing reaches a member without you.

The pain

Every number lives somewhere else, and every job is yours. The follow-up that grows the studio — the fading regular, the failed card, the intro about to expire — loses to whatever is loudest today.

What Xyzios does

Watches every member, payment and class while you teach; drafts the saves, payment notes and call lists by morning; opens every board with the answer. You approve in minutes — nothing sends without you.

What changes

The homework leaves your week and the growth work actually happens. You run the studio from your phone between classes — and Sunday night goes back to being Sunday night.

How it works for you

How Xyzios runs a single-location studio.

1It watches while you teach

Through the day, every member, payment and class is read against its own baseline — the 3×/week regular slipping to once, the card that failed at 2am, the intro two classes from expiring. You never pull a report; the OS opens with the answer.

2It drafts by morning

The saves, the polite payment notes, the ranked call list and Monday's brief are written before the doors open — in your studio's voice, from your studio's data. The composition work is gone; only the judgment is left.

3You approve in minutes

Anything member-facing waits in one Approvals queue. Approve, edit or skip with your coffee — nothing sends without you, and every dollar a save brings back lands on the ledger with a date and a reason.

Overview · your 6am

Revenue pacing, members, recovered dollars and your focus — the whole studio in one glance before the first class.

At Risk · between classes

Who's fading, why, and what it's worth — each card carries the reason and the drafted save, checked from your phone in the car park.

Approvals · your coffee

Every drafted send in one queue with the context to decide fast. The day's growth work, done before it interrupts a single class.

What the OS watches for an owner-operator
Member fade vs. their own baseline — flagged while a save still works, not after the cancellation
Failed auto-pays — spotted and politely chased the day they happen, traced to the dollar
Intro and trial runway — every intro ranked for follow-up before it expires
Revenue pacing vs. your own months — "on track" measured against your studio's history, not a generic curve

Take a real week off

The studio, without you in the room.

What stops when an owner leaves is not the classes. It is the reading, the noticing and the small decisions. Those are the parts Xyzios keeps going, so the person you leave in charge has what you would have had.

The numbers arrive without you

Every weekday morning the Today email brings yesterday's numbers and the day's priorities, with nobody building them. The owner's brief waits in the app: weekly by default, every morning if you switch it to daily for the week you are away.

Five minutes from a phone

The AI staff keeps drafting saves, payment notes and intro follow-ups. Each one waits for approval, and Approve & send is one tap, or they wait until you are back. Nothing goes out unread. Pause your notifications until next week, and open the app when you choose.

Your manager sees her own site

Switch on her morning email and she gets her own locations' priorities each weekday, plus the Front Desk list of first-timers and milestones. Her boards open onto her site, with every room side by side on the KPI board. Never the company books. Before you go, hand her your open tasks with a note, so she knows why each one is hers.

The one-page handover and the test weekend are still yours to do. The owner's week-off kit walks through both.


Straight answers

What owner-operators ask first.

Is Xyzios worth it for a single-location studio?

It was built in one. Xyzios started inside a single studio where the owners wore every hat — the Overview board, the AI staff and the approvals flow exist precisely so one person can run the numbers side of the business in minutes a day. Your first month is $99; after that it’s one published price per location, everything included — see pricing.

Do I need a manager or any technical setup?

No. Onboarding is hands-on — a person connects your booking platform and tools with you in an afternoon, nothing about how you operate changes, and your team keeps the booking platform they know and joins Xyzios when you invite them. Xyzios reads your numbers through the day and brings you the work already drafted.

Can I run the studio from my phone?

Yes. The OS is at its best on a desktop, and every board works just as well from your phone between classes — it installs to a home screen like any app, so the studio is in your pocket without living there. A bar along the bottom holds the five boards you choose, and notifications come only for what’s yours, like a task someone gives you (on an iPhone, add Xyzios to your Home Screen first).

What if I already have a spreadsheet system that works?

Keep it as long as you like — nothing migrates and nothing breaks. Most owners retire the spreadsheet in week one, not because they are told to, but because the board already holds the answer the spreadsheet was built to find.

Which boards matter most for a single-location studio?

Three carry the day: Overview opens with revenue pacing, members and what needs attention; At Risk holds who is fading with the reason and the drafted save on each card; Approvals is the one queue where every drafted send waits for your OK. The rest are there when you want to go deeper.

How much time does it actually take each day?

Most days: read the Monday-style brief when it lands, then approve or skip the drafted work — a coffee’s worth of minutes. Anything member-facing waits for your OK, so the time you spend is judgment, not composition.
