Why this change?
Many studios previously used
Private Classes
to manage 1-to-1 sessions with members. While this works well for smaller studios, it becomes difficult to manage as the number of clients grows.Private Classes are built on the
Group Class system
, which requires every session to be created as a specific time slot. This makes it hard to support more flexible scheduling (e.g. allowing members to book any available 1-hour slot between 9am–6pm
) without cluttering the schedule with many class entries.The
Appointments system
is designed specifically for 1-to-1 bookings. It keeps the same workflow you are familiar with today, while also being built to support flexible availability booking
— allowing studios to list their available time windows and let members book available appointment slots directly.How to migrate
