For bootcamps
Bootcamp booking that copes with weather and more than one venue
Amble is booking software for UK bootcamps and outdoor fitness groups. Cancelling a session for weather emails everyone and refunds their credits automatically, you can run sessions at more than one venue, and members buy blocks of sessions that expire when you choose.
What gets in the way at bootcamp studios.
The problem
Cancelling for weather
Messaging everyone one by one when the rain comes in is the worst part of the job.
With Amble
Cancel the session in Amble and everyone booked or waiting is emailed, with their credits returned automatically.
The problem
More than one venue
A park on Tuesdays and a hall on Thursdays: members need to know where to go.
With Amble
Add each venue as a location with its address and map, and members use one balance across all of them. The Free and Starter plans include 1 location; Studio includes 3, and Pro and Unlimited have no limit.
The problem
Blocks, not rolling memberships
Bootcamps often sell a six-week block rather than a monthly membership.
With Amble
Sell a pack with a set number of sessions and an expiry in days. Members book each session with their credits.
The features that do the work.

More on waitlistsQuestions studio owners ask
What happens if I cancel a session for bad weather?
Everyone booked or on the waitlist gets an email, and their credits are refunded automatically.
Can I run sessions in different places?
Yes. Add each venue as a location with its address, and members’ credits work at all of them. The Free and Starter plans include 1 location; Studio includes 3, and Pro and Unlimited have no limit.
Can I sell a six-week block?
Yes, as a pack with the number of sessions and an expiry in days. Members still book each session, so you know who is coming.
Do members need to download an app?
There's nothing to get from an app store. Members use Amble in their phone's browser and can add it to their home screen, where it opens like an app.
How much does Amble cost?
Amble is free for up to 25 members, with a 2% fee on card payments. Paid plans start at £29 a month with no payment fee, and your first paid plan comes with a 30-day free trial. See pricing.
Guides for studio owners.
Why gym members cancel, and how to spot it early
Members rarely cancel out of the blue. Why the first month matters, how to spot someone drifting, and what to do before they go.
Read the guideHow to turn gym trials into members
Trials are won at the second visit. Put trialists in a real class, make sure someone says hello, book visit two before they leave, and don’t discount.
