Booking a space
Do I need an account to browse?

What can I book a space for?
Choose an activity allowed in the listing, such as private sessions, group classes or workshops. You confirm your planned use before booking.
How long is a booking?
Room bookings are one hour; book adjacent slots if you need longer. Pro also includes recurring weekly bookings.
Can I bring clients or participants?
Yes, if the listing allows it. Stay within the listed capacity and your declared use.
Do I need insurance?
Professionals need verified liability insurance valid for their booking date. Add your certificate in your app profile before booking.

The listing shows the entry method, such as a lockbox, keypad or host meetup. Entry instructions are available after your booking is confirmed.
What is included?
Each listing shows the space, capacity, amenities and included equipment.
What does it cost to book a studio?
Host rate + 17.99% booking fee, or 7.99% with Pro ($14.99/month). The complete total is shown before payment.

Listing a space
What kinds of spaces can I list?
Studios and private rooms suitable for Pilates, Yoga, Massage, Barre, Dance, Meditation, Acupuncture or Reiki.
Who decides what my space can be used for?
You choose the permitted activities, capacity, available hours and house rules within Minimum Stress’s terms.
Can I approve bookings myself?
Yes. Choose instant booking or review each request before accepting.
Who decides my availability?
You do. Guests can only book the times you make available.
Do I need a paid plan to list my space?
No. Listing is free, and no platform or processing fee is deducted from the host’s listed room rate.
Who sets the price?
You do. The full listed room rate is paid to you; the instructor sees their own booking total before payment.
Do I need to be there?
Not necessarily. Choose an entry method and provide instructions for confirmed guests.
What if someone uses my space for something I did not allow?
Guests must follow their declared booking use and the space’s rules. Misuse can end the booking and restrict the guest’s account.
What if something is damaged?
Report damage through the app as soon as possible. The app and Host Terms explain claim deadlines and evidence requirements.
Business tools
Can I use the client tools for free?
Yes. Instructor and host accounts can manage clients, contact details, notes, services, calendars and follow-up tasks without a subscription.
What does Pro add?
A 7.99% studio booking fee, a booking page and reminders.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
Pro stays active through your paid period, then your free client tools and records remain available. You can finish existing paid packages and manage refunds, but new package sales, payment links and online bookings require Pro.
Are client follow-ups automatic?
No. It helps you track client details and follow-ups; you decide when to contact clients.
Private sessions for clients
How do I request a private session?
Choose a professional focus and send a request with your preferred activity, location and time. You do not need an account or payment card to submit it.
Is my request already a booking?
No. A request tells us what you need. We check for a suitable professional and, when needed, a compatible space. You receive the available option and total proposed price before deciding whether to book.
Can I choose home or studio?
Yes, you can share a preference. A home session depends on the professional, equipment, safe setup and travel details. A studio session depends on compatible space availability. Neither setting is confirmed until the offer is ready.
How are professionals checked?
Minimum Stress confirms the identity and required professional documents used by the app before a professional can complete applicable session workflows. Licensing and insurance requirements vary by practice and jurisdiction.
Can I request a specific professional?
You can choose the professional focus that interests you and describe your preferences. We match the request against relevant services and availability, then share the option that can actually support the session.
Safety and permitted use
Are all activities allowed?
Illegal activities, sexual services, adult-content production, parties and unsafe uses are not allowed. Hosts may set additional rules.
Does Minimum Stress certify professionals?
No. Independent professionals are responsible for their qualifications, licenses and insurance. Minimum Stress reviews the documents required for the relevant app workflow but does not replace a licensing authority.
Does Minimum Stress own the spaces?
No. Spaces are offered by independent hosts through our platform.
