Never has it been so easy to book a client in for repeat one-on-one sessions at your gym or studio. Introducing Recurring Appointments with TeamUp.
Recurring Appointments are here, and they have so much to offer fitness business owners, instructors, and clients.
Repeat bookings made quick and easy
Scheduling repeat one-on-one sessions on an individual basis is a time burner. But with Recurring Appointments, you can reserve periodic appointment slots on behalf of clients. So whether a member wants to come at the same time every week, every other week, every three weeks, or monthly, it's quick and easy to manage in TeamUp.
Recurring appointments look different for everyone, which is why you can customize exactly how long the reservation will run for. You can create a repeat booking for a set number of appointments or until the client's membership expires.
Members like the continuity of training on the same day at the same time—and Recurring Appointments make that possible. By scheduling repeat one-on-one sessions, there's no danger of another client swooping in, pinching their slot, and disrupting their fitness routine. (Let's face it, we're creatures of habit!)
Clients are booked into recurring slots, which means you don't have to remember to book them in for their next appointment, nor do you have to send out reminders nudging them to reserve their next session. Recurring Appointments save a lot of hassle all round.
Scheduling recurring sessions gives you more visibility of future appointment bookings. Not only does it make it easier for you to plan for upcoming demand, it also gives you a better overview for staff scheduling.
Aside from reducing booking time (a big plus for you and your instructors), Recurring Appointments also enable block purchases of sessions, which in turn fosters consistency, increasing business revenue. In short, recurring one-on-ones—as opposed to booking appointments individually—encourage loyalty, which does wonders for your fitness business.
