This article shows your team how to cancel a booked session, offer the client another time, book a client in yourself, and mark sessions complete. When the gym cancels, the client is notified with your reason. Offers to move expire after 7 days by default.
Warning: The reason you type is sent to the client. Always write it as a message to them, such as Coach is unwell, not a private note.
Before you begin#
- Sign in as the owner, an admin or the trainer for that session.
- Open Calendar and find the session's week with This Week, Next Week or In 2 Weeks.
Cancel and offer another time#
- Select the block on Calendar to open it.
- Choose Cancel this session for the client's booking.
- Type the Reason (the client sees this).
- Optional: pick a time under Offer another time (optional) and add a Note with the offer.
- Select Cancel & Notify.
Open offers show under Awaiting a Reply at the top of Calendar. Select Withdraw to take one back.
Book a client in#
- Select the block on Calendar.
- Open Hold seats · book a client.
- Choose a client under Book a client in and select Book.
To keep seats back without a name, use Hold seats, set For whom and select Hold.
Mark a session complete#
After the session, select Complete on the booking. This matters for referrals: a referred client's first completed session earns the person who referred them a free session.
Offer settings#
| Setting | Where | Default |
|---|---|---|
| How long an offer stays open | Pricing → Premium & Policy → Reschedule offers expire (days) | 7 days |
| Max guests per booking | Pricing → Premium & Policy → Max guests per booking | 3 |
Common mistakes#
Deleting the block instead of cancelling#
Deleting the whole block doesn't send your reason. Cancel the bookings with Cancel this session first.
Never selecting Complete#
Referral rewards only go out when you select Complete on the referred client's first session.
Booking clients who have no credits#
Bookings you make use the client's credits. Add credits first with Adjust (+/−) if they've paid you another way.
Clients get a push notification and an email (if they've turned email on) as soon as you cancel or offer a time.
