Why studios choose Market Muscles

Market Muscles websites go beyond the basics with semi-custom designs, built-in features, and powerful optimizations. No hidden fees, no limitations, just the tools you need to grow your school with confidence.

Essential features included

ZenPlanner charges additional fees for tools like AI chatbots, workflow libraries, and SEO optimization. At Market Muscles, those features come standard. We believe the essentials shouldn’t be extras, which means you get everything you need to succeed from the start.

Websites that stand out

With limited design flexibility, ZenPlanner makes it tough for studios to build a polished, unique online presence. Market Muscles offers semi-custom websites with multiple templates and flexible content blocks, so your site reflects your brand while driving real results.

No monthly software fees

Instead of locking you into ongoing monthly software fees, Market Muscles gives you a platform without recurring costs. That means more money stays in your pocket and you can invest it directly into growing your school.

Stronger Online Presence

Websites designed for results

Your website should be more than a digital placeholder, it should be a growth engine for your school. Market Muscles is the ZenPlanner alternative that delivers semi-custom websites built to capture attention, generate leads, and turn visitors into trial sign-ups.

Every site we create is fully optimized for SEO, AEO, and mobile, ensuring your studio is easy to find, stands out from competitors, and builds long-term credibility. With Market Muscles, your website isn’t just visually appealing, it’s designed to attract more students and fuel your school’s success.

Built Around Schools

A complete platform to streamline and grow your school

Your time is too valuable to waste on complicated systems. Market Muscles is the ZenPlanner alternative that helps owners simplify operations, reduce stress, and dedicate more energy to teaching and leading their students.

Our platform includes advanced workflows, family grouping, an AI-powered chatbot, and built-in SEO and AEO optimization, features designed to save you time, attract more students, and strengthen your reputation in the community.

Market Muscles really puts you on the map. I have had the most leads ever and had even had to have a waiting list for students. If you haven’t given them a call to see if they can service you, you should’ve done it yesterday! Great customer service and one of the best investments made for my business!
