About HUNDRED

HUNDRED is a classical Pilates studio in Paris's 1st arrondissement. Its ambition: to make the traditional method, long reserved for private sessions, accessible to everyone. The studio also offers small-group classes, in French and English, so everyone can discover the different apparatus. HUNDRED uses bsport for online booking and for managing both group classes and private appointments.

Making the classical method accessible

At HUNDRED, it all starts with a conviction: classical Pilates shouldn't stay a niche practice. So the studio opened the method up to small-group classes. Even in a group, every student works on the apparatus (reformer, tower…) and discovers the method in its traditional form.

"The idea was really to bring people in, help them discover and democratise the traditional classical method by making it accessible."

In a fast-growing Paris market, that choice makes the difference. HUNDRED was the first studio in Paris to offer this format.

"In the Pilates world in Paris, it's growing enormously, but we're still one of the only ones, and in any case the first studio to have offered small-group classes in the classical method."

Choosing bsport: a French company and an intuitive tool

HUNDRED has worked with bsport for three years. Two reasons drove the choice: working with a French company that knows its market, and having a back office that's easy to pick up.

"What really won me over was the fact that it's a French company."

Day to day, things are simpler for the team. Less time spent figuring out how to do things, more time for students.

"The back office is much more user-friendly than others."

Booking built into the studio's website

For students, everything happens on HUNDRED's website. The bsport booking module is built right in. Each class shows its format, level, duration and coach. Students find the class that suits them and book in a few clicks.

"bsport is integrated into our website, and that's where people book."

Group classes and private sessions, in one place

HUNDRED's model is built on two activities: small-group classes and a large number of private appointments. With limited apparatus and space, the team needs to know at all times what's booked and what's free.

bsport brings both together in a single schedule. The team can see, hour by hour, who's in the studio and which spaces are still available for a new appointment.

"It lets us see hour by hour who's in the studio, which spaces are available, and so on."

Opening a studio: HUNDRED's advice

Before you take the leap, ask yourself the right question: why this studio, here? A concept only works if it meets a real need where it opens.

"Whatever the project, it has to make sense in the local area where you set it up."

At HUNDRED, that sense is clear: making the classical method accessible, in the heart of Paris.
