Class timetable booking: how it should work on your website

A bookable class timetable shows sessions with capacity and lets members or casual visitors reserve a place.

Who needs it

It comes up most for gyms and fitness studios and schools and education providers.

Ways to build it

Embed the timetable from your class booking system.

Use the scheduling feature of your website platform for a simple timetable.

Where the website stops

The website hands over when the place is reserved in the class system. Rolls, waitlist moves and payments are managed there.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can casual visitors book without a membership?

Most class systems support casual or drop-in bookings with payment. We set the timetable up so both members and casuals have a clear path.

What happens when a class is full?

A good setup shows the class as full and offers a waitlist, so people are not left wondering whether they can still come.

Does the timetable need to update automatically?

Yes. A timetable copied into the website by hand goes out of date quickly; it should come from the system that runs bookings.
