Personal trainers: schedule around client work hours

Clients who work office hours want to train before work, at lunchtime or after work. That leaves you with packed peaks and empty middles, and a lot of messages to fit everyone in. With Book, you open slots only at the hours that suit your clients and you, book regulars at their fixed times from your list, and use quiet hours for other work.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

Times, durations and prices are examples: set your own.

Regulars want the same time each week. Book their sessions yourself from your bookings list for the coming weeks, and don't open public slots at those times. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each session, which sits next to their work meetings.

A 30-minute session fits a lunch break. Say in the description that it starts and ends on time, and where clients can change and shower if relevant.

Mid-morning and mid-afternoon suit shift workers, parents, freelancers and retirees. Open a daytime service with its own price, so those hours earn too, or keep them for programming and admin.

If you train clients at their gym, office or home, create services per location and leave gaps for travel. You create every slot, so gaps never appear on your page.

Early starts and late finishes add up. Set an end time for your day by simply not opening slots after it, and keep a long break mid-day. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars, so you see the whole week.

Work meetings move. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the session from your list. State your notice policy in the description.

Book doesn't take payments, sell session packs or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with other coaches, create services per coach. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
