Running a gym

The membership was opened at the desk, the freeze was approved out loud, and the class is overbooked because the calendar does not know who already registered. Someone who has not come for two months is still being billed, or the reverse, training with a membership that already ended.

Who it is for

For a gym or studio with memberships, freezes, and classes. A poor fit for a weight room with no desk and no record of who comes in.

Problems this page addresses

  • A freeze that does not stop billing

    The member said they would be away for a month. The desk wrote a note. The charge still went out, because the freeze does not sit on the membership.

  • A class with no capacity

    Too many people were booked into a popular class, because two instructors registered at the same time and the class has no seat count.

  • A quiet membership

    Someone pays and does not come, or comes after the membership ended. There is no list of who has not been marked at the door for several weeks.

What you get

  • A membership with a state

    Active, frozen, ended. A freeze includes a return date. Billing does not run on a frozen membership.

  • Class registration

    Each class has a number of places. Registration closes when it is full, with a waitlist instead of a double booking.

  • A list of who disappeared

    An active membership with no check-in or class in the period the gym sets. It is a call list, not an automatic discount.

Common questions

Is this a points club?

Not by default. Membership, freeze, and check-in come first. Points or a benefit for someone who returns after a gap can be added later, only if the desk actually gives them and they are not just a slogan.

What does this cost a small gym?

It follows how many memberships are active, and whether classes have a capacity or entry is open. Start with membership state and the freeze. Classes join if today’s calendar is where double booking happens.

Can you remind people who stopped coming?

Yes, from the list, not everyone. The message goes to whoever was marked, in Hebrew, with a way to freeze or book a class. Not the same text to the whole membership.
