Cicini review
A booking-led scheduler for small gyms that also need staff availability tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cicini is a cloud scheduling platform for fitness studios and other appointment-led organizations. It combines online booking pages with instructor and staff availability management, service assignments, working hours, breaks, and time off. That makes it a practical fit for micro-gyms and small fitness teams that want client bookings and staff calendars in one system, particularly when operations center on appointments or sessions rather than large, multi-attendee classes.
Pricing follows a freemium model. The Free plan costs $0 per year and includes online booking, email reminders, Google Calendar sync in beta, a basic booking page, and community support. Starter costs $180 per year when billed annually, or $19 per month when billed monthly; it adds SMS reminders, online payments or Stripe checkout, gift cards, custom branding, and team features. Professional costs $468 per year when billed annually, or $49 per month when billed monthly; it adds team permissions, API access and webhooks, intake forms and legal documents, and priority support. Enterprise includes unlimited bookings and team members, multi-location support, custom integrations, SSO, advanced permissions, and a dedicated account manager.
The strongest fit is a small, appointment-focused operation that needs availability rules and booking safeguards. Cicini can help assign services, prevent double-booking, synchronize with Google Calendar, collect payments through Stripe, and present branded booking pages with client intake forms. Automated email reminders are available, with SMS reminders on paid plans. The product is narrower for gyms that need multi-location management, verified staff swaps, time clocks, or broad class operations; multi-attendee classes and multi-location support are identified as roadmap items. Choose Cicini for compact teams combining bookings with staff availability, and consider an alternative for larger or more complex workforce scheduling.
