Best Online Scheduling Software for Personal Trainers
BookedIN For Fitness
Jesse Shaw is a personal trainer in Albany, NY. She offers exercise programs, nutrition and lifestyle coaching as well as group workshops for corporate clients. She handles all her own appointment booking with a pen-and-paper appointment book.
The Problem
She was spending way too much time on the phone, juggling appointments and trying to cater to all her clients. She knew it had to be done, but hated spending an extra hour every day flipping through her appointment book. It wasn’t feasible to bring on a receptionist, but Jesse needed something to help with the scheduling problems.
On top of that, it was tough to keep client info organized. When she started her business she decided to keep a small file on all her clients, but the time involved with keep those up to date meant it went out the window after a few months.
The Solution
If there was one thing Jesses hated more than her appointment book, it was setting up software. She went with BookedIN because it was simple to set up, easy to use and was really affordable. It replaced her appointment book and helped her keep track of her clients.
When she chose BookedIN she knew about the public booking feature, but didn't think she was going to use. She realized really quickly that, since she can restrict when and what her clients can book for themselves, it makes a lot of sense to let them do some of the work.
The Results
The time Jesse spends on the phone has dropped dramatically since she started running BookedIN. She saves a few minutes on each call now that she doesn’t have to flip through her appointment book to find an open slot, and those minutes add up to hours by the end of the week.
She’s even started using the client appointment histories to keep notes on how her clients progress and to recommend changes to their programs. She also keeps an eye on which clients haven’t been in for a while and makes follow-up calls to encourage them to book again.
