How to set up an online booking system for your gym

One of the biggest challenges in managing group fitness classes is the way members enter the class. Find out how can you easily implement a fully automated online booking system.


Group training is one of the most popular fitness services, no matter how large the gym is. Therefore, it’s not surprising that more and more fitness clubs are expanding their class schedule. The fact that group fitness classes are so beloved by members also creates a series of operational issues for the gym’s employees and members.

The real issue is that for each class is that spots are limited, depending on the studio where the class takes place, or the equipment needed for training. Therefore, we have loads of members that would like to attend fitness classes, but a limited number of spots.

How to organize everything so that it is easy for both your team at the reception desk and for members? How can you ensure members will not be dissatisfied when they don’t get a spot at their favorite class? How can you do to avoid crowds before a class starts? How to ensure members that if they visit the gym, their spot is guaranteed?

What to do to have every fitness class at capacity?

Many questions, and just as many challenges. The solution is simple: you can implement a booking system available online for all members.

In this e-book, we are trying to provide several solutions for online bookings for fitness classes and some tips on how to set up such a system successfully. For over six years, we are providing our customers with an online booking system for classes through our platform, which means we have encountered all sorts of issues, which in turn helped us build a mart system.
