Scheduling software built for personal trainers
Stop trading billable session time for text-message tag — let clients self-book your open slots, lock in their spot with a deposit, and kill the no-shows that quietly eat your week. Slotly gives personal trainers a single booking link, automated reminders, and no-show protection — so your training business stays booked without the phone tag. A client ghosts a 6am slot you blocked off, and there's no time to fill it. Slotly enforces a card-on-file or deposit at booking plus a cancellation window, so a late drop costs them, not you.
What scheduling chaos costs personal trainers.
No-shows on a paid hour you can't resell
A client ghosts a 6am slot you blocked off, and there's no time to fill it. Slotly enforces a card-on-file or deposit at booking plus a cancellation window, so a late drop costs them, not you.
Endless texts to reschedule a single session
Half your evening is spent volleying 'does Thursday at 5 work?' across DMs, email, and your gym's front desk. Slotly shows clients only your true open slots in real time and lets them rebook themselves without a single text.
Losing track of who has sessions left in their package
You sell 10-packs but rely on memory or a messy spreadsheet to know who's on session 8 versus session 2. Slotly ties each booking to the client and their package so the count decrements automatically and you stop giving away free sessions.
Everything a training business needs to stay booked.
Deposit & package payments at booking
Take a card on file, a per-session deposit, or sell a full 10-session block through Stripe the moment a client books — so unpaid sessions and chasing Venmo become a non-issue.
SMS reminders that cut early-morning no-shows
Automatic text and email reminders go out before every session, so the 5:30am client who 'forgot' actually shows up warmed and ready.
Recurring weekly session slots
Lock a client into the same Tuesday/Thursday 7am for the next eight weeks in one tap, instead of rebooking the same standing appointment over and over.
Intake & PAR-Q forms before the first session
Collect health history, injuries, goals, and a signed waiver through an intake form attached to the booking — so day one is training, not paperwork.
How personal trainers use Slotly.
- An in-person trainer shares one booking link in their Instagram bio so prospects pick a free consult slot and pay a deposit before they ever arrive at the gym.
- An online coach offers separate 30-minute virtual check-ins and 60-minute form-review calls, each auto-creating a Zoom link the client gets in their reminder.
- A studio trainer sells 12-session packages through Slotly and lets clients self-book their recurring 6am slots while the system counts down sessions remaining.
Personal Trainers scheduling: your questions answered
Can clients book recurring sessions or just one-off appointments?
Both. A client can grab a single trial session, and you can set a standing weekly slot — say every Monday and Thursday at 7am — that repeats for as many weeks as you train them. They get a reminder before each one without you re-entering anything.
How does Slotly handle no-shows and last-minute cancellations?
You set a cancellation window (for example 24 hours) and require a card on file or deposit at booking. If a client cancels late or doesn't show, Slotly can charge your no-show fee automatically, so you're not eating an unsold hour out of your own pocket.
Does it work if I train both in person at a gym and online?
Yes. You can offer in-person sessions tied to your gym location and virtual sessions that automatically generate a Zoom or Google Meet link, all from the same booking page. Clients just pick the session type and the right details land in their confirmation.
