📝 Overview
Classes are one-off or recurring events that allow customers to book a session from a pre-set timetable. A "Class Type" separates what a Class is from its schedule. Think of class types as templates: for example, you run Yoga classes in the morning and need to create an evening schedule. Instead of starting from scratch, you can head to your Yoga Class Type and simply add the evening hours.
In this guide we take a look at how to create a Class Type, how to add a repeating time slot, and how to add a one-off session.
💡 If you are looking to create a new Appointment Type instead, see the guide here.

On this page, you will be prompted to complete the information listed below:

Description | Add a description to let your customers know what the class is about |
Category | Categories allow you to organize your class types into groups, which customers can then use as filters when browsing the schedule on the Customer Site. |

Registration settings | When customers can register and leave. All existing timelines in Settings ➜ Registration ➜ Registration timelines will be displayed here as options |
Default Occupancy | The default size limit when creating new time slots or one-off events. Leave empty if no default occupancy is needed. |
Allow Drop-ins | Can customers who do not have a membership pay a drop-in price for the class? |

💡 If you need to create a different registration timeline for your new Class Type, select any of the existing ones for now.
After you have finished setting up your Class Type, you can add a new registration timeline, see the guide here, and then come back and add it to your Class Type.
💡 Use the advanced settings to charge an additional fee per class registration on top of the membership usage.
Once you are happy with your settings, click Create Class Type. Your Class Type is now created! Next, you will need to set a schedule for this type so that it appears on your timetable and customers can start booking it.
🗂️ What Are Class Categories?
Grouping classes into categories allows customers to filter classes by group, so they do not need to filter by class type or Instructor.
Once enabled, they appear as part of the calendar's Visible Filters alongside Event and Venue.
🔍 Turn On the Category Filter
You can enable the Categories Filter on your Customer Site by going to Settings ➜ Registration ➜ Calendar Settings ➜ Edit ➜ Visible Filters, or go there directly here.
This allows customers to filter your timetable by Category on the Customer Site.
📆 Schedule a Class Type
Here you can schedule your classes. You have the option to do this as a Weekly Time Slot or as a one-off Class.
🧠 Weekly Time Slots create classes at the same time each week. One-Off classes happen exactly once, at the date and time you choose.
Select the desired time slot. In this example, we add a repeating time slot.
🔶 Weekly Time Slots
The below class schedule repeats 8-9 am Monday and Wednesday every week.
🔷 One-Off Sessions
The below class happens on 20th November from 5-6 pm. This class does not repeat. The class size limit is 10.
