Pilates teachers: class capacity when classes fill up

Your Tuesday evening mat class fills days ahead and people keep messaging to ask for a spot. Turning them away by hand takes time; squeezing in an extra mat spoils the class. With Book, each class has a fixed number of places, a full class leaves your page, and you decide when to add another class instead of overfilling this one.

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.

Durations, places and prices are examples: set places to your mats or machines.

Each online booking takes one place. When the last place goes, the class leaves your page, so nobody books a mat that doesn't exist. Places left aren't shown, so clients simply see which classes they can still book.

If one class fills every week, open another at a nearby time. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so a second Tuesday class takes a minute to add. Say in its description that it's the same class at a different time.

Book has no waiting list. If you want one, say in the class description how to join it, by message or email, and keep the list yourself. When someone cancels, cancel their booking in your list and contact the next person to book.

Clients can't cancel online: they contact you. State your notice policy in the description, so you have time to offer the place to someone else.

Regulars who come every week can be booked from your bookings list for a term. First and last name are enough; with their email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each class. Their places are then taken before the class opens to everyone else, so book them as soon as you create the slots.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note. Ask for experience level. Tell clients with injuries or health conditions to contact you before booking, rather than writing details in the note, which appears in their calendar file.

Book doesn't keep waiting lists, take payments, sell class packs or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: in a studio, create classes per teacher. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
