Set up your batches and membership plans the way your gym already runs

Most gyms are busiest at the same two or three times: early morning before work and the evening after it. A batch gives each of those a name, timings, days of the week and a member limit. You see when the floor will be packed and when it will be empty, and you can nudge people into the quieter slots.

A batch can be for everyone, ladies only or men only. Jimwala refuses to put a member in a batch that does not match. A member can be in more than one batch, say weights in the morning and yoga in the evening, and their batch history is kept.

Create the plans you already sell: monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly. Set your own price and, if you charge one, a joining fee. The joining fee goes on a new member's first invoice and is not charged again on renewals.

When you change a price, new sales use it. Members already running keep the price they were sold at, which is what you would do on paper anyway.

If you are unsure how much cheaper a longer plan should be, the free gym fee calculator on this site will work out the per-month cost of each. We also wrote about it in the guide on membership plans and pricing.

See "Changing plans" on the member management page. The short version is that unused days become credit and the quote is shown before anyone pays.
