Who's coming. What they're using. Who's working.
Whatever you run — reformers, training bays, treatment rooms or simulators — those are the three things you need to know every day. Here's how MainLodge keeps them straight for businesses like yours.
Personal training studios
Four bays, six coaches, and regulars who want the same slot every Tuesday. Somebody has to keep the bays from double-booking and know who has prepaid.
- A bay can never hold two sessions at once
- Sell packs in advance and take a session off at check-in
- Every coach paid their own rate for the sessions they actually taught
- Start with an assessment and keep the plan on the client's page
Pilates & group fitness
Ten reformers, classes back to back, privates squeezed in between, memberships, waitlists — and clients rescheduling all day.
- Classes with a fixed number of spots; the waitlist fills cancellations on its own
- Class packs, unlimited memberships and drop-ins, all at the same time
- Tap attendance and instructor pay is worked out
- Private sessions on the same calendar as the classes, so a reformer is never booked twice
Sports & simulator training
Two expensive machines, lessons that were paid for weeks ago as part of a membership, and a coach who has to be right for the skier or the snowboarder.
Read more- Each machine has its own schedule and can't be double-booked
- Ask 'ski or snowboard?' at booking and only the right coaches show up
- Memberships with a minimum term, and sessions that carry over
- Built for a ski-simulator club first, and running one every day
Recovery & wellness
A sauna that holds four, a cold plunge that holds one, treatment rooms — some booked on their own, some added to a training session.
- Self-serve rooms with their own capacity and hours
- Add recovery to any booking in one tap
- Waivers for contrast therapy, signed before the first visit
- Include recovery in a membership, or charge for it separately
Salons & spas
Stylists on different hours, services that take different times with different people, and a team that's paid in different ways.
- Chairs and rooms with their own hours, never booked twice
- Each stylist's own duration and price for the same service, with add-ons
- Cards on file, deposits and no-show protection
- Commission on retail, fixed rates on services — per person
Coaching businesses
Consultations, assessments, programmes and follow-ups — and notes that the right coach needs to see before the next session.
- Consultations that need no equipment, assessments that do
- Notes and files on the client, visible to the right coach
- Clients book 'anyone' or a specific coach
- Reminders and follow-ups by text and email, sent for you
Boutique gyms & multi-location
Two or three sites, each with its own team, hours and equipment — and an owner who wants one view of all of them.
- Every location has its own calendar and opening hours
- Staff belong to a site; services and prices are shared
- One report across all sites
- A new location is set up in minutes from a preset
