Real-world ways studios set up personal training in ClassLift.
1. Boutique yoga studio — private sessions as an add-on
Situation: A yoga studio sells unlimited group classes and wants to offer private 60-minute sessions with two of its instructors, charged separately.
| Piece | Setting |
|---|---|
| Providers | The two instructors (already providers) |
| Service | 60-min Private Session, Personal training (1:1), 60 min |
| Availability | Each instructor's own weekday mornings at the Main studio |
| Allowance | A Private Sessions add-on plan granting Limited per period · 4 |
How it works:
- Members on unlimited group classes buy the Private Sessions add-on when they want privates. Their group-class access is untouched; the add-on grants up to 4 privates a month.
- Each member books their own time inside an instructor's published mornings. Anything they don't book never appears on the calendar.
2. CrossFit gym — coaching included in the top tier
Situation: A gym has a premium membership that includes weekly one-on-one coaching, plus unlimited classes.
| Piece | Setting |
|---|---|
| Service | Coaching Session, Personal training (1:1), 45 min, 15-min buffer after |
| Providers | Two coaches |
| Allowance | On the Premium plan: unlimited classes and Personal training Limited per period · 4 |
How it works:
- Premium members get both group classes and up to four coaching sessions a month from one plan — no separate purchase.
- The 15-minute buffer keeps coaching sessions from stacking back-to-back, giving coaches turnaround time.
3. Multi-location personal-training business — one trainer, two sites
Situation: A trainer works Tuesday/Thursday at Downtown and Saturday at the Uptown location.
Setup steps:
- Turn the trainer on as a provider.
- Add an availability window for Tue, Thu at Downtown, and a second window for Sat at Uptown.
- Members booking see only the site and times that apply — Downtown clients get the weekday mornings, Uptown clients get Saturday.
Tips for all studios
- Providers ≠ everyone. Only turn on the people who actually train; leave front-desk staff and back-office admins off so members aren't offered the wrong person.
- Sell it, then publish hours. Add the personal-training allowance to a plan first, so the members you enable can actually book once availability goes up.
- Cancellations free the time automatically. When a member cancels, that slot re-opens for others — no manual cleanup.
