The evening rush: capacity, waitlist, reminder
Evening slots fill up fast. When an athlete cancels, the first person on the waitlist takes the spot automatically and is notified. A reminder goes out the day before to everyone booked: fewer forgotten sessions, fewer wasted spots. The cancellation window is set class by class, so you can make it stricter on your busiest slots.
Unlimited, weekly cap or drop-in
A box often sells an unlimited membership alongside “2 or 3 sessions a week” plans. In Brimly, a membership can be capped at a number of sessions per week and charged monthly by card or SEPA Direct Debit, with or without a commitment. Committed members can open their bookings earlier than everyone else. For athletes passing through, a drop-in session is paid at the moment of booking.
Booking the week's WODs in one go
An athlete who trains every Monday at 7am ticks “Also book every Monday at 07:00” on their first booking: their spots are booked as sessions open, using their plan, and they untick the weeks when they're away. Your morning slots fill up without any chasing.
Coaches, cover and pay
Each coach has their own space: their slots, who's booked, check-in. A coach who can't make a session requests cover from their app, and you assign another coach. Pay is calculated per hour or per session based on the number of athletes booked; the monthly total is shown to you and to the coach.
A trial session for beginners
Beginners often hesitate before walking into a box. Open a free trial session on your beginner slots: they book with their name and email, no password, and appear with a “Trial” badge on the attendance list, so the coach can spot them during the warm-up. After that, an introductory offer (three sessions at a reduced price, for example) can be limited to one purchase per person.
Referrals: every athlete brings a friend
A box grows by word of mouth. Turn on referrals in Settings → Bookings: each athlete finds a “Refer a friend” link in My account. A friend who signs up with this link gets a free session, and the referrer gets theirs at the friend's first paid purchase. A plan can offer other rewards: a discount for the friend, a voucher for the referrer.
Box merch, with no stock
T-shirts, hoodies, sports bras and water bottles with your logo: each item is printed on demand by Printful and shipped to the athlete. Nothing to stock or pay for upfront; you set the price and keep the margin. Your own products can be sold in the shop too, with their own stock and collection at the box.
Your box's app
Athletes book from the Brimly app (iPhone and Android), from your booking page or from your website: the timetable shows your logo and colour. They find their bookings, their plan and their remaining sessions there, and get the reminder the day before.
