📝 Overview

Family accounts let you add dependents, invite others as family managers, switch profiles for bookings, and buy memberships for family members. Where enabled, membership sharing lets one membership be used across the family group for eligible bookings.

💡 Family managers can manage bookings and memberships for dependents from the My Account area on the web, and family management is also supported in the New Members Booking App.


🆕 If you don't have a TeamUp account

If you haven't already created a TeamUp account please sign up as a customer with the fitness business you'd like to join, and when asked if you're signing up a child or other dependent select "Yes" and the steps that follow will guide you through setting up your family members:


👥 Adding Family Members

If you already have a TeamUp account, you can add family members so that you can manage their accounts, register them for classes, purchase memberships on their behalf, e.t.c.
