For rental gym & studio operators

Stop trainers double-booking each other with availability they can see on a phone.

If you rent private rooms or a studio by the hour to freelance personal trainers and yoga or pilates instructors, trainers can check availability on their phone before fixing a session with a client, and book right then. You can lock in weekly class slots too.

No credit card. Ad-supported, completely free.

Sound familiar?

Session set, room already taken

A trainer agrees a time with a client, then finds another trainer already booked the room.

Availability questions land on you

Messages like 'Is the private room free tomorrow at 7pm?' arrive while you're mid-session yourself.

Protecting weekly class slots

The Saturday morning yoga slot sometimes gets taken by a one-off booking.

Rooms, studio and machine area

You want to manage private rooms, the group studio and the rack area separately.

How it helps your operation

One item per room or area

List private room 1, the studio and the free-weight area: one item per unit you can rent at the same time.

Trainers check and book on a phone

Share the booking URL with your trainers. Even mid-conversation with a client, they can check and hold a slot.

Lock in weekly classes

Add regular classes as recurring bookings from the owner view, so one-off bookings can't take them.

A view-only link too

Show the view-only page at reception so trainers arriving can see the day's schedule at a glance.

Example: a rental gym with 2 private rooms and a group studio

List each unit trainers can use at the same time, and use categories by purpose.

Frequently asked questions

Can trainers' clients book directly?
It's possible, but it's designed for renting rooms by time. There's no session menu or payments, so trainers should keep their own client booking method alongside it.
Can I see which trainer booked?
The booking page and dashboard show each booking's title. Ask trainers to put their name in the title and you can tell at a glance whose booking it is.
What if a trainer needs to cancel?
The share URL only allows adding new bookings. Trainers contact you, and you cancel from the dashboard.
Can it handle billing?
There's no payments or billing. Settle up, for example monthly, with your usual method while looking at the bookings.

Let trainers settle availability on their own phones.
