The Only Martial Arts School Software Built by Owners of $1M+ Revenue Schools
Ron Sell opened his first martial arts school at 19. By the time he had four locations and over 1,000 active students, the business side had consumed everything. He wasn't teaching anymore. He was managing. It nearly cost him the thing he loved most. Time with his family.
After nearly a decade working in software and technology, Ron partnered with Grandmaster Cheong Park — both sons of martial arts grandmasters — to build what they wished they'd had from day one.
Not another software product. A business partner that handles what they hated so they could get back to what they loved.
That's Spark
FAQ
What is Spark Membership?
Spark Membership is all-in-one software for running a local member-based business. It combines CRM, membership management, billing, online booking, point of sale, email and SMS automation, landing pages, and task management in one platform, so owners stop paying for and switching between half a dozen separate tools.
What kinds of businesses use Spark?
Spark is built for local businesses that run on memberships: martial arts schools, dance studios, gymnastics schools, yoga studios, CrossFit gyms, and kickboxing gyms. If you sell recurring memberships and run scheduled classes, Spark fits how you operate.
Is Spark only for martial arts schools?
No. Martial arts schools were the starting point, and they are still a large part of the community, but Spark runs dance studios, gymnastics schools, yoga studios, CrossFit boxes, and kickboxing gyms too. The core problems are the same: recurring billing, class schedules, member retention, and lead follow-up.
Who built Spark?
Spark was built by people who have owned and run local membership businesses for more than 30 years. Most software in this space was written by technologists who have never run a studio, which is why it tends to miss how these businesses actually work day to day.
How many businesses use Spark?
More than 2,000 local member-based businesses run on Spark worldwide. Owners also get access to a private community where they trade advice, wins, and support with each other.
Is Spark right for a small studio, or only for big ones?
Spark works for member-based businesses of all sizes. There are no feature tiers, so a single-location studio gets the same automation, CRM, and marketing tools as a multi-location operator.
How much does Spark cost?
Spark is currently priced at $199 per month, with an 8-week free trial period. Every account includes full access to every feature, with no usage caps and nothing held back for a higher tier.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start a free trial without talking to sales first. If you would rather see the platform walked through against your specific setup, you can book a free live demo instead.
What happens on a demo?
A Spark specialist walks you through the platform and works out whether it fits how your business runs. There is no obligation to sign up afterwards, and you leave with a clear answer either way.
Can I build landing pages without a developer?
Yes. Spark's no-code page builder lets you build landing pages and funnels to promote offers, events, and intro programs, with no coding and no agency.
How does Spark help me get more leads?
Spark captures leads through landing pages and funnels, then follows up automatically by email and SMS so prospects do not go cold while you are teaching. Every lead sits in the CRM with full contact history, so you always know who needs attention.
Is Spark hard to learn?
No. Spark was designed for owners and front desk staff, not software administrators, and every account starts with one-on-one training. Support stays available afterwards rather than ending once you are onboarded.
What support do I get?
Every account gets a dedicated rep for setup plus ongoing access to the support team. Owners consistently point to responsiveness as a reason they stay.
Can I run Spark from my phone?
Yes. Spark includes free iPhone and Android apps for you and your members, plus a kiosk app for check-ins at the front desk.
Why use one platform instead of best-in-class separate tools?
Separate tools mean separate logins, separate bills, and no single view of your business. When your CRM, billing, attendance, and marketing sit in one system, a missed class can trigger a follow-up text automatically, because the data is already in the same place.
Does Spark integrate with tools I already use?
Spark connects with a range of partner solutions, including WordPress websites and Spark Ignite. Tell your account rep what you currently run and they will confirm what connects directly.
What does Spark actually automate?
Spark automates the follow-up work that otherwise eats your day. Someone opts in on your website but does not book, and an email and text go out to get them booked. Someone no-shows, and a reschedule message sends in seconds. Running a summer special, and it goes to your whole lead list in a couple of clicks.
How does Spark help with member retention?
Spark removes the friction that pushes members out. Online bookings, membership payments from their phone, and automated reminders keep classes full and make the experience easy, which is what keeps people enrolled.
Can members book and pay online?
Yes. Members book classes and appointments and pay from their own devices, which moves payments away from your front desk and frees your staff during the busiest part of the day.
Does Spark handle recurring billing?
Yes. Spark processes recurring memberships through its integrated merchant service, so failed payments and expiring cards surface in the same system as your member records instead of a separate payment portal.
Can I sell merch and gear through Spark?
Yes. Spark includes point of sale with inventory tracking for pro shop and gear sales, and the numbers feed straight into your reporting rather than being reconciled later.
Does Spark help me keep track of internal projects?
Yes. Spark includes project and task management for your team, covering what most studios would otherwise use Asana, Trello, or Monday.com for.
Do I need marketing experience to use Spark?
No. You do not need a marketing degree or a dedicated sales hire. Spark gives you automated campaigns, sales funnels, lead generation, and follow-up sequences that run without anyone managing them daily.
Do I have to pay for setup?
No. Your data migration is handled free by the Spark data team, and a dedicated account rep sets up your automations, payments, and attendance to match how your business runs. You also get one-on-one training so your staff is confident from day one.
How long does it take to get up and running?
Most of the work is done for you, so setup is fast. You export your data from your current system, Spark's team migrates it securely, payments switch on immediately through Spark's integrated merchant service, and your account rep configures the rest.
Can I move my data from my current software?
Yes, at no cost. Member records, billing history, and contact details transfer across so nothing has to be re-entered by hand.
What software does Spark replace?
Spark replaces the stack most studios pay for separately: Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, and Aweber for email; Twilio and WhatsApp for SMS; ClickFunnels, Kartra, ThriveCart, LeadPages, and Unbounce for funnels and landing pages; Mindbody, Zen Planner, Glofox, Thryv, Classfit, and Picktime for booking; Shopify and WooCommerce for checkout; HubSpot and PushPress for CRM; GymMaster, EZ Facility, and Exercise.com for point of sale; and Asana, Trello, Monday.com, and Jira for task management.
