If you're part of South Africa's vibrant wellness community, this is a game-changing update: Bookamat has partnered with Discovery Vitality Fitness, making it easier (and often more rewarding) than ever to attend your favourite yoga, Pilates, barre, dance, and rebound classes.
What this means for studios
Discovery Vitality is South Africa's leading wellness rewards programme, with millions of active members looking for fitness activities that earn them Vitality points. Studios on Bookamat can now connect with this massive audience:
- Vitality member discovery: Your studio appears in the Vitality Fitness network, giving you access to health-conscious clients actively searching for wellness classes near them.
- Automated attendance verification: When a Vitality member attends a class at your studio, their visit is automatically verified through Bookamat — no manual check-ins or paperwork needed.
- Revenue from Vitality visits: Studios receive payment for Vitality-funded visits, creating an additional revenue stream alongside your regular bookings.
What this means for clients
Discovery Vitality members attending classes at Bookamat-powered studios enjoy seamless benefits:
- Earn Vitality points: Attending yoga, Pilates, and fitness classes at participating studios earns points toward Discovery health rewards.
- Easy booking: Book through the Bookamat app or website as normal — Vitality integration works behind the scenes.
- Subsidised classes: Depending on your Vitality status, classes may be partially or fully covered by your Discovery plan.
