1. What is online appointment scheduling software?

Online appointment scheduling replaces an old fashion receptionist by allowing your clients to book their own classes, appointments, personal training session, etc. Patrons simply login online from their computer, tablet or smart phone and with a few clicks they are able to see the gym's calendar and reserve their class spot.

2. Why would I want online appointment scheduling software?

Online appointment scheduling software is a great way to keep your clients active in your health club or gym. Clients can avoid long lines and confusing schedules by booking their classes at home when they have their personal calendar in front of them. Patrons are busy, it's time to give them all the convenience they need by allowing them to make appointments at a time that is right for them. Customers can book from home, on the subway or in the grocery line.

3. Can you give me an example of how it works?

As a health club or gym owner, you can login to your software online and set up the classes and general schedule of the gym. After you have set everything up, your customer can access this information and use it to make their own appointments online. They can even pre-pay online and if you have more than one location, they can choose the gym that works best for them, all from the online portal. Clients will also receive reminders about their upcoming class or an appointment which helps keep your classes full, day after day.

4. How can online class scheduling software save me money?
