WhatsApp reminders and no-show rules for personal trainers
Most lost income for a solo trainer is a client who forgot. Jimwala sends the reminders for you on WhatsApp, in English, Hindi or Hinglish, and gives you a clear rule for the ones who still do not show.
What goes out, and when
- A confirmation to the client and a note to you the moment a session is booked.
- A reminder the evening before, and another two hours before.
- You are told straight away if a client changes or cancels.
- A message when a client has two sessions left in their pack.
Confirm, Change or Cancel on one page
The reminder links to a page where the client taps Confirm, Change or Cancel. No typing back and forth, and the new time is in your day at once.
A no-show rule you choose
You set the cancellation cut-off in hours. Cancel before it and it is free; after it, it counts. After each session you mark who came. A no-show can take a session from the client’s pack, and you can forgive any single one with a tap.
Full slots and waitlists
On the Coach plan you can allow several clients in one slot for small groups, and keep a waitlist for full slots. When a place opens, the next person is told on WhatsApp.
