Setting up online booking as a personal trainer in Singapore
How a Singapore personal trainer can set up recurring sessions, sessions at different locations and rescheduling around afternoon storms, all from a phone.
If you are still deciding on a tool, our guide to the best booking app for personal trainers in Singapore compares the options. This guide is about getting BookAndGo set up for a trainer's real week.
Recurring sessions for your regulars
Most personal training clients come at the same time each week. With repeat bookings, a client's Tuesday and Thursday 7am sessions can be booked weekly or fortnightly in one go, each one a normal appointment with its own reminder. Your regulars keep their slot and you stop re-booking the same people every Sunday night.
A service for each place you train
Many trainers here coach in several places: a condo gym, a park connector, a commercial gym where they rent floor time, a client's home. Set up a service for each, such as '60 min PT, condo gym' and '60 min PT, East Coast Park', with a buffer after each long enough to travel. Clients choose where as they book, and the confirmation says where to meet.
Plan for the weather
Afternoon thunderstorms are part of training outdoors in Singapore. When a session has to move, reschedule it from your phone, and the client gets an email with the new time. Clients can also move their own booking from the link in their confirmation, within the notice you set.
Run it from your phone
Trainers work from the gym floor, not a desk. BookAndGo runs in your phone's browser, so checking the day, marking a session complete or moving a client takes seconds between sets.
Fewer missed early sessions
A 6am no-show is the worst kind. Every client gets an email reminder before their session, and a client marked as a no-show three times is blocked from booking online until you decide otherwise.
