Sport therapists: run group exercise classes online

Group classes, such as injury prevention, mobility or return-to-sport circuits, let you help more people in the same hour. But they need the right number in the room: enough mats, enough kit, enough attention for each person. With Book, each class is a service with a set number of places; participants book their own place, and a full class leaves your page.

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 and places are examples: set places to your space and equipment, according to the rules that apply to you.

Each online booking takes one place, so you know how many stations to set up. When the last place goes, the class leaves your page. A friend who wants to come books their own place.

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. A six-week return-to-running block on Thursday evenings takes a few minutes to set. Participants book each session, or you book the whole block for someone from your bookings list.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the participant's calendar file. Ask for the sport they play, but not injury details.

For a club's team session, create a private service with one place: the coach books once for the group. Or create a service named with the club and date so each player books a place. Book doesn't take payments or issue invoices, so invoice the club as you do now.

Slots of different services can overlap. If you run a class and offer one-to-ones, keep them at different times, or close the one-to-one slot when the class runs. See the guide on initial assessments and programmes.

Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you. If you cancel a class, tell each participant yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

Book doesn't take payments, sell class passes or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with colleagues, create classes per therapist. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
