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
  1. Add
    Appointments
    under
    Configure → Appointments
  2. Update
    Packages
    to allow booking of these appointments under
    Configure → Package Options
  3. Update
    Staff Payroll
    to include appointments under the
    Staff
    page
If you want to keep your current workflow, simply click
“Add Appointment”
in the
Schedule
page to create the appointment with your member — the process is simpler and more straightforward.
In the future, if you would like members to
book available appointment slots directly
, you can enable this as well: https://support.vibefam.com/appointment-system
