Fitness and personal trainers
Personal training and group classes in one diary, with a capacity per class, reminders members confirm and no-shows in plain sight.
Everyday reality
In a small studio, every trainer hour counts twice: it's paid time and it's another member's slot.
01 · Today
The 7am member who never turned up
The trainer arrived at seven, set up the circuit and waited twenty minutes. The member forgot, texts at nine to apologise and wants to rebook for the same time tomorrow, which is already taken.
With Farol
An SMS and email reminder the day before, at the time you choose, that the member confirms in one tap. Anyone who doesn't confirm is flagged in time for a call.
Reminders with confirmation02 · Today
Twelve sign-ups for eight places
Sign-ups for Saturday's class come in on WhatsApp, on Instagram and at the front desk. Nobody has the full list and, on the day, there are more people than places.
With Farol
Group classes with a set capacity: your team enrols members and Farol won't let the limit be exceeded. Every member gets their own attendance or no-show recorded.
Classes with capacity03 · Today
The fitness assessment lives on the trainer's phone
The first assessment's measurements, the plan and the progress photos were on the phone of the trainer who left in September. The member wants to know how far they've come and nobody can say.
With Farol
Assessments, plans and photos attached to the member's record by date, visible to those with permission, even when the trainer changes.

You know there are no-shows, not how many
There's a feeling that Monday mornings always fall through and that the 7pm classes fill up. Without numbers, timetables and cancellation rules stay as they are.
With Farol
No-show rate, occupancy per trainer and peak hours on the management dashboard, with a summary by email every week.

Members' health data and the GDPR
Injuries, limitations and health declarations are health data, a special category under the GDPR. On Farol they sit in records with role-based access and a log of who opened each document, in a database hosted in the European Union.
The declarations your studio uses, such as a liability waiver or a fitness declaration, can be written by you and sent for remote signature with a one-time code. The signed PDF is kept, with the date and the version of the text.

Can members sign up for group classes online?
Not yet. Today online booking covers one-to-one workouts; for group classes your team enrols members and Farol keeps the capacity in check.
Can I keep track of no-shows?
Yes. Every member, in group classes too, has their attendance or no-show recorded, and the dashboard shows the no-show rate for the period.
Can I sell packs or memberships?
Not yet: there are no packs or memberships with a session balance. Workouts sit in the diary and on the member's record, and payment is still handled separately.
Does it work for a personal trainer working alone?
Yes. There's a free plan to start on your own and, when your team grows, you change plan without losing any data.
