Plan group classes and personal training sessions, set each session’s capacity, and let the front desk book spots for members; when a class is full, the next members join the waiting list.
In short: a spinning class has 18 bikes, and at 7 pm 25 people want in. Without a timetable with limited spots, you either turn members away at the door or put two people on the same bike. In 4gym.net you create class or personal training sessions with a location, a trainer, a start and end time and a capacity. The front desk books spots on behalf of members; when a session is full, the next member joins a waiting list, and when someone cancels, the first person on the list is promoted automatically. Every session shows how many members are booked and how many are waiting. Bookings are entered by staff: members have no account and do not book for themselves.
Every studio has a real capacity: 18 bikes for spinning, 20 mats for yoga, 12 stations for CrossFit. When you create a session you give it a capacity, and bookings stop exactly there: the next member does not get a spot but joins the waiting list. The front desk sees on each session how many spots are taken and how many members are waiting, so it can answer on the spot when a member asks whether there is still room.
A popular class sometimes loses a booking a few hours before it starts. In 4gym, when the front desk cancels a booking, the system automatically promotes the first member on the waiting list, in the order they signed up; the same happens if you raise the session’s capacity. The system does not send messages: the front desk sees in the panel that the spot was filled and tells the member the way the gym usually does, for example by phone.
A class booking holds a spot but deducts nothing from the membership. The entry is only used up at the front-desk check-in, where the system checks the member’s membership: validity, location, time window and remaining entries. If you cancel a session, its bookings are cancelled with it. The system does not apply cancellation deadlines or penalties: you apply the gym’s own rules.
Personal training sessions are sessions with a capacity of 1, scheduled at the same location and on the same timetable as classes. A trainer cannot be scheduled twice in the same interval: if a new session overlaps another one of theirs, the system rejects it. The session list can be filtered by trainer, location and period, so the front desk quickly sees what is coming up.
You set the capacity when you create the session. Bookings stop at the last spot, and the next members are added to the waiting list automatically.
No. Bookings are entered by the gym’s staff from the panel, on behalf of members. Members have no app or account in which to book spots.
The front desk cancels the booking and the freed spot passes automatically to the first member on the waiting list. The system does not send a message by itself, so the front desk lets the member know.
No. The booking holds the spot; an entry is used up only at check-in, if the membership type has an entry limit.
No. 4gym does not apply cancellation deadlines or penalties; the gym decides each case.
Yes. You create a personal training session with a trainer, a location and a time slot; the capacity is 1, and the trainer cannot be scheduled in two simultaneous sessions.
Create the sessions, set the capacity and let the waiting list fill freed spots; the front desk books for members straight from the panel.
4gym.net gives you a timetable of sessions where every spinning, yoga, HIIT or CrossFit class has a fixed capacity, the front desk books spots for members, and the waiting list automatically promotes the first member when a spot frees up.
We are transparent — here is where 4gym.net is not (yet) the best fit:
A fit for gyms and studios running group classes where spots are limited by equipment and bookings are entered by staff. If members need to book for themselves, 4gym has no app or portal for them.

4gym.net brings together, in one panel used by the gym’s staff, member and membership records, the timetable of classes and personal training sessions, manual check-in at the front desk and a non-fiscal payments ledger. The team enters the data; members have no account.
No. Bookings are entered by staff from the panel. When a class is full, the member joins the waiting list and is promoted automatically when someone cancels.
The front desk selects the member and the location, and the system checks the membership: status, validity, location, time window and remaining entries. There is no integration with turnstiles or readers; staff allow physical access.
No. Renewal is manual and payments are recorded in a non-fiscal ledger. 4gym does not charge cards and does not issue fiscal invoices.
The overview shows members, active memberships and those expiring soon, today’s check-ins, who is in the gym and the month’s revenue per currency; on plans with advanced reporting there is also a date-range report.
