For circuits classes
A booking app for busy circuits classes
Amble is a class-booking app for circuits and group-training studios in the UK. Members book capped classes from their phone and pay for packs by card, staff add walk-ins to the register, and members get a reminder before each class.
What gets in the way at circuits studios.
The problem
Regulars and walk-ins in the same class
Some people book a week ahead; others turn up at the door with a friend.
With Amble
Members book from the app, and staff can add a walk-in to the class register at the door.
The problem
Chasing cash and bank transfers
Collecting money class by class takes time you would rather spend coaching.
With Amble
Sell drop-ins, class packs and memberships online. Members pay by card through Stripe, straight to your account.
The problem
People forget they booked
A forgotten booking is a space someone else could have had.
With Amble
Members get an email reminder before their class, and a push notification on the day if they have switched notifications on.

Class waitlists that fill themselves: when someone cancels, the next person is booked in automatically, and members can see their place in the queue.

Can someone just turn up?
Yes. Staff can add a walk-in to the class register, and anyone can buy a drop-in pack online before they come.
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.
Can I cap class numbers?
Yes. Every class has a capacity, and bookings past it go to the waitlist.
Will members get reminders?
Yes: an email before their class, and a push notification on the day of the class if they have switched notifications on.
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.

How 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.
