A scheme which allows individuals to book fitness and wellness classes directly from Google Maps is being piloted.

Wellness technology company MINDBODY has partnered with Google to allow its subscribers to also book desired classes through Google Search and a new standalone website.

Dubbed Reserve with Google, the technology is being rolled out initially to MINDBODY subscribers within 10,000sq miles of New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Those wanting to book classes can search for the type of activity they want to do, click on the prefered class time and complete their booking through Google.

“This aligns beautifully with our vision of a transaction-enabled marketplace connecting the world of wellness,” he added.

More than 58,000 local businesses and 326,000 wellness practitioners in 130 countries use MINDBODY’s software and payments system.
