Getting Started with Appointments

3 min. readlast update: 02.20.2024

So we know what appointments are - 1 on 1 sessions with a trainer or professional, but how to get started using them? Typically, appointments are either booked by the professional or the client.

For the professional - a client might call or email, saying, "I want a private appointment with you for a 60-minute private yoga session". How would you book that? Easy!

BUSINESS GUIDE

Step 1: As a professional or business owner, head to your main Calendar page. Click on the "Scheduling" button on the left or any spot on the calendar. You'll see the following screen.

Step 3: After choosing the time, you'll be sent to the payment screen. Here, depending on if the client has a package purchased, has remaining sessions, or a credit card linked to their account, you can book/charge them directly. In the example below, the client has no balance. 

Purchase drop-in or any package on the list.

On the payment screen, click NEXT > CONFIRM and CLOSE. If the client has no payment method saved, add one, wait for it to load then click NEXT > CONFIRM and CLOSE.

For the client - you want to book a private, 60 minute, 1 on 1 yoga session with your favorite instructor, you have two ways to do this, on the website, or the app! In the example below, the client will book on the website.

Step 1: From the website, log in and head to your Personal page and then click "Book Activity". If you have a favorite gym or instructor, they will show up under "My Businesses", or search for a new business under "Find a Business".

If your business requires you to accept their waiver, similar to the one below, you'll be prompted to accept it. Not accepting their waiver will not confirm your appointment booking. Simply turn on the waiver toggle and/or click the link to accept the waiver, click CONFIRM and CLOSE.
