Managing Session Types

Create, edit, and archive the session offerings trainees can book.

Session types define what you offer — the name, duration, and capacity of each kind of session. Manage them in the Sessions tab on your trainer dashboard.

Create a session type

  1. Go to the Sessions tab.
  2. Click New Session Type.
  3. Fill in:
    • Name — e.g., "Private Lesson", "Group Clinic", "Video Review"
    • Duration — how long the session runs (in minutes)
    • Capacity — maximum number of trainees per session (use 1 for 1-on-1)
  4. Save.

The new session type will appear on your public booking page immediately.

Edit a session type

  1. In the Sessions tab, find the session type you want to update.
  2. Click to open it and make your changes.
  3. Save.

Changes apply to future sessions only — existing bookings are not affected.

Archive a session type

Archive a session type when you no longer want to offer it. Archived types:

  • No longer appear on your public booking page
  • Cannot be used to create new sessions
  • Retain all existing sessions and bookings for historical reference

To archive:

  1. Open the session type.
  2. Click Archive.

Archived session types can be restored later if needed.

Scheduling sessions

Session types are templates — you still need to create individual sessions from them to open specific time slots for booking.

See the Bookings tab to create sessions, add trainees directly, or let trainees self-book from your public page.
