Classes & Scheduling
ClearGym's powerful scheduling system makes it easy to manage recurring classes, track capacity, and keep your timetable organised.

- Description: What members can expect from this class
- Duration (minutes): Class length (e.g., 45, 60)
- Max Capacity: Maximum number of participants
- Pricing Model: Free for Everyone, Everyone Pays, Free for Subscribers or Plan-Based Pricing. Choose Free for Everyone for classes included with membership
- Cancellation Deadline (hours): How long before the class members can still cancel their booking
- Tick Enable waitlist when class is full if you want one
