Comparison

Hone vs. Acuity Scheduling

Acuity is excellent at getting clients onto your calendar. Hone is built for what happens once they're in the room — knowing their injuries, planning the right class, and tracking their progress.

Hone

Hone gives Pilates instructors a professional system for the teaching side: a curated exercise library with spring settings and modifications, a class plan builder, and a session log that tracks client progress over time.

Acuity Scheduling

Acuity Scheduling (part of Squarespace) is an appointment booking tool. It handles availability, client self-scheduling, intake forms, and payments — but has no concept of exercise programming or client health history.

The verdict

These tools aren't really competitors — Acuity is focused on booking, while Hone books your schedule and provides the tools to plan and teach your classes. If you just need a scheduling tool, Acuity is a solid choice. If you want to elevate your teaching and track client progress over time, Hone is purpose-built for that.
