Sports & Fitness Booking System

Q: Is SimplyBook.me a good booking system for gyms and fitness studios?

Yes. SimplyBook.me is built for classes and memberships, not just one-to-one appointments. You get class capacity limits, waitlists, recurring timetables, memberships and prepaid packs, online payments, and ClassPass, which most generic schedulers do not offer.

Q: Can I sell memberships and class packs online?

Yes. You can sell recurring memberships and prepaid class packs that clients buy once and redeem when they book. Membership billing renews automatically, so your recurring revenue is predictable.

Q: Does SimplyBook.me integrate with ClassPass?

Yes. You can list your open class slots to the ClassPass network and every reservation syncs back to your SimplyBook.me schedule automatically, so you fill empty spots without double-booking.

Q: How do class capacity and waitlists work?

You set a participant limit for each class. The booking page shows how many spaces are left, and once a class is full, clients join a waitlist. When someone cancels, the next person on the list is invited automatically, so classes stay full.

Q: Are there per-member fees or commission on bookings?

No. You pay a flat subscription based on your plan, with no per-member fees and no commission on sign-ups. Only standard payment-processor rates apply.

Q: Can I run more than one location?

Yes. You can manage multiple locations, and the Enterprise plan adds custom limits and centralised control for multi-site clubs and franchises.

Q: How does SimplyBook.me reduce no-shows?

Members pay or leave a deposit when they book, and automated email and SMS reminders go out before each class. Prepaid bookings and timely reminders together cut no-shows across your timetable.

Q: Which booking channels can members use?

Members can book from your website, your booking page, Instagram, Facebook, Google, and ClassPass, and every channel syncs to one schedule.

Q: How is SimplyBook.me different from a generalist scheduler like Calendly or Acuity?

Generalist tools are built for one-to-one appointments. SimplyBook.me is built for the way fitness businesses actually work: memberships, class credits, group capacity, waitlists, resource and court management, and ClassPass, on pricing that scales with your team instead of charging per member.

Q: Can AI set up my booking system for me?

Yes. Ask Simply, the built-in AI assistant, creates your classes, memberships, and providers from a plain-language description. AI voice booking lets members book a class just by asking on your site and social channels.

Sell memberships and class packs, fill every session, and turn first-time visitors into regulars. Members book and pay online 24/7, while SimplyBook.me handles capacity, waitlists, and reminders automatically.

The problems a generic scheduler leaves you with

Most scheduling tools were built for one-to-one appointments, not for classes, memberships, and busy timetables. That gap costs fitness businesses money in three specific ways. Here is how a sports and fitness booking system built for the job closes each one.

Recurring revenue from memberships and class packs

Sell monthly passes or credit packs, like a 10-class pack or unlimited monthly access, that clients buy online and redeem per session. Revenue is locked in before anyone walks through the door, and members book against the balance they already paid for.

Explore memberships and packages

What competitors miss

Generic schedulers cannot sell memberships or redeemable class credits, so you are left invoicing by hand or chasing drop-in payments every week.

Predictable pricing that scales with your capacity

Start on the plan that matches your team and booking volume, step up a tier as you grow, or move to Enterprise for custom limits and multiple locations. Your software cost tracks your business, and it does not punish you for adding members or rooms.

What competitors miss

Per-member and per-location pricing, plus marketplace commissions, quietly tax your growth. The more you succeed, the more they charge.

Explore the Enterprise plan See pricing

Classes that fill themselves

Set a participant limit per class, show "spaces left" on the booking page to create urgency, and let a waitlist auto-invite the next client the moment a spot opens. Empty slots and missed sign-ups stop costing you.

What competitors miss

Thin schedulers have no capacity control and no waitlisting for group sessions, so a cancellation just becomes an empty mat.

SO EASY!

We were having trouble limiting CrossFit class sizes with our previous software. We would run into too many people showing up for class leading to not enough space, equipment, trainers, etc. With SimplyBook we see a lot less of those problems. I absolutely love using SimplyBook! It is so incredibly easy to use, it makes our gym so much smoother. It is such a great way to see who is attending classes, reserving their spot online, and organizing our class schedule. Due to limited space we tend to keep classes at a 16 Person maximum and SimplyBook allows to put those restrictions on the bookings. Another great feature of SimplyBook is it sends reminders out to clients before their appointment to help cut back on no shows.

From beginning to end my experience has been excellent.

This software was really easy to use. On first reading, I couldn't really believe that it would deliver everything I wanted - but it does and so much more too. the support manager I had was excellent. I paid for the initial set-up and am so glad I did as it was well worth it. The premium package is excellent and will make enormous difference to how we manage all of our events.

Love it! Easy to use

Easy to use and clients love the ease of it. Not all features available for free, have to pay extra.

Above Average

Their customer service is fast and polite. Their app is easy and simple to use. Their widget is easy to implement to a website. I can cancel, reschedule and book appointments fast and easily through the app. Its affordable. It syncs to my calendar. Its highly Customizable without being overwhelming and theyre constantly improving the app.

Fantastic scheduling service

Overall, I'm very happy with my experience with SimplyBook.me. It's a great scheduling service that really simplifies the task of managing bookings. SimplyBook.me makes scheduling appointments and managing bookings so easy and efficient. I love the ability to customize my booking page and the user-friendly interface.

Impressed with the software

I am impressed by the software and will be using it to schedule swim time during the summer due to the recent pandemic. I found the customization features easy to navigate. The overall interface is straightforward. Being a non profit HOA we were looking for a low cost but functional solution to scheduling. Simplybook even at the free level offered a lot of what I looked for. The additional tiers were value added and worth the upgrade to what we could afford.

So far it's pretty good, especially the support help. I really like being able to send text messages, and the tech support I get from SimplyBook.me is great. So far, initially it's a bit challenging to navigate how to use the system but once I understand, the features are good.
