Why fitness studios choose RosterElf

RosterElf helps studios coordinate class instructors, personal trainers, and reception staff while managing labour costs and award compliance. Here’s why managers trust RosterElf:

Plan ahead for peak class times

Employee rostering for fitness studios

Balance classes and reception shifts

Match skills with roles

RosterElf’s rostering software makes it easy to assign instructors, personal trainers, and front desk staff to the right shifts. Managers drag-and-drop shifts, apply live labour budgets, and use templates for peak class times. This ensures every spin class, yoga session, and PT slot has qualified staff in place while keeping wage costs under control.

Accurate hours for every role

Time and attendance for studio staff

No more paper timesheets

Clock-ins via mobile or tablet

Replace manual sign-in sheets with time & attendance. Instructors and staff clock in on mobile or tablet with photo or GPS verification, ensuring accurate records for payroll. Approved timesheets are payroll-ready, cutting disputes and saving admin time, especially for studios with rotating casuals or early-morning classes.

Simplify payroll runs

Approved timesheets sync directly to payroll, with award rules like overtime, weekend penalties, and allowances applied automatically.

By connecting with Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks, managers reduce re-keying and stay compliant with Fair Work requirements.
