Getting started — your first 10 minutes
A quick walk-through: studio name, your first class, your first member, and where to find help.
What you'll do in the next ten minutes
You've created a Kyndra account. Three things sit between you and a real working studio: a name on the door, a class on the calendar, and a member on the roster. We'll do all three in this article.
1. Confirm your studio name
Open Settings → General. The name you typed at signup is under Studio, with your logo above it. This is what appears on member invoices, the portal header, and every email Kyndra sends on your behalf — so spell it the way your members already know it.
While you're there, Type sets the words Kyndra uses for the people on your roster, and Disciplines lists what you teach. Families see your disciplines when they sign up.
2. Add your first class
Go to Schedule and choose New class (New visit or New session at some studios). The shortest version of a class needs a name, how often it repeats, when it meets, a start time, and a duration. An instructor is optional. A studio with more than one location must pick one. Set Repeats once and Kyndra puts every week on the calendar for you. The detailed walkthrough lives in adding your first class + recurring schedule.
3. Add your first member
On Members (Students or Clients at some studios), Add member (Add student or Add client at some studios) opens the form. It needs a full name and an email or phone, so the studio has a way to reach them. For a child, switch to Family signup at the top of the same page: the parent's contact details go in once, then each child.
If you're moving from another platform, skip this step and read importing members from another system instead.
4. Take attendance the first time
When the class happens, open Check-in. Tap each name as people walk in. The first time you do this you'll see a small celebration — that's intentional. The numbers on your dashboard start populating from this moment.
Where to go next
- Billing: connecting Stripe for payments.
- Members: your member portal + custom domain.
- AI: using the agent to fill empty classes.
