Zenrez operates a studio-centric marketplace that offers discounted classes the night before to help studios fill excess spots and avoid withholding spaces from full-price customers. The company charges a 25% commission on every booking and does not use membership fees. Zenrez lets users purchase individual classes instead of class packs. CEO Matt Capizzi says the approach prioritizes studio needs and is aimed at consumers not yet in a routine. The company expects to expand beyond classes into discounted workshops, teacher training and private sessions while staying within fitness. Zenrez reported a seed round last summer and has now raised $6 million in a Series A from investors including ARTIS Ventures, Precursor Ventures and Transmedia Capital. Zenrez operates a consumer-facing promotional booking platform that lets users discover and book last‑minute fitness classes from curated boutique and franchise studios without monthly membership or fees. The company integrates with MINDBODY to create a seamless experience for studios and to leverage MINDBODY’s network of more than 53,000 studio partners. Zenrez has facilitated more than 75,000 reservations and reports traction in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh. It recently launched ZenrezMedia, a video content hub to educate and support class experiences before, during, and after workouts. The company plans to use new funds to accelerate national expansion across the U.S., enhance product features, and add sales team headcount. Zenrez positions pay‑as‑you‑go bookings as an alternative to membership models to attract busy, on‑the‑go consumers.
