Hey Kacie,
There are some softwares in the market which can fulfill your needs. Following features are must haves in my opinion.
Scheduling
Online Schedule Management, Automated SMS & Email Reminder to Members & Staff before the Appointment and Session Usage Tracking
Sales & Marketing
Due calls management, SMS & Email alerts for Renewals, Balances, Promotions, Member Irregularity, etc.
Access Control
Powerful Access Control System to Track Member & Staff Attendance, Integration with Card based, Thumbprint, Palm Vein Biometric Machines, etc.
Client Management
Prospect, Member, Referral, and Trial Management, Membership Upgrades, Transfers, and Freezing; Tracking all Communication with Customers
Billing
Record all Monetary Actions, Integration with Access Control (E.g. Automatically disallow if the payment is not recovered from the client)
Reports & Analytics
To help you Analyze your Income, Balances, Renewals, etc.
Some non-functional questions you need to check with the company you are looking into:
Do they provide regular unlimited software training sessions?
How good is their customer support? Do they have 24/7 tech support?
Does it have regular updates, i.e., does the software add new features every month?
Are their existing clients happy?
Maybe you can get a few client references from them and cross check with those clients. That will help you decide its credibility of the company.
I personally work for Club Systems in Sugar Land, TX. We are a 35 year old company that works with thousands of fitness groups, clubs, crossfits, bootcamps, etc, etc...If you are interested in wanting to know more then send me an email at rj@healthclubsystems.com

if it's strictly for scheduling purposes, i use google calendar. extremely powerful, free tool which i use for all my appointments. allows for email and/or SMS notifications.
Mindbody. Ease of use for both you and your clients. We use it in a large scale facility, but the majority of independent instructors and studios i know use it as well.
Hope this helps,
