Flexible Booking Setup

Enable and configure appointment-based booking for your workspace

Flexible Booking Setup

Flexible booking allows clients to book appointment slots based on instructor availability, rather than choosing from a fixed class schedule. This is ideal for personal trainers, tutors, consultants, therapists, and other 1-on-1 service providers.

ℹ️
Flexible booking works alongside class-based booking. You can offer both scheduled group classes and 1-on-1 appointments in the same workspace.

Next Steps

After enabling flexible booking, make sure to set up instructor availability so the system knows when appointments can be booked. You should also assign service types to instructors so clients know what services are available.
