Quick answer
Create the physical room, add and label its usable equipment positions, arrange them to resemble the real space and enable spot selection only for the classes where the client's position matters.
Before you begin
The real room's usable capacity, equipment count, orientation and any permanently unavailable positions.
Short unique labels staff can identify aloud at reception.
At least one class that genuinely benefits from client-selected equipment or position.
You'll know it worked when
The saved layout matches the room orientation and contains exactly the positions clients may book.
Class capacity does not exceed the usable selectable spots.
A mobile client can distinguish labels, choose one available spot and see occupied spots become unavailable.
The chosen spot appears on the dated roster where front-desk and teaching staff expect it.

Create the room
- 1
Open Rooms and choose New room.
- 2
Add the client-facing room name and its normal capacity.
- 3
Create each usable equipment position or station with a short, unique label.
- 4
Arrange the positions so the entrance, instructor area and orientation make sense to a first-time client.
- 5
Save the room before attaching it to live sessions.
Enable client spot selection
Use pick-a-spot for equipment-based classes where position matters, such as reformers, bikes or stations. Leave it off for open-floor formats where a numbered choice would add friction without operational value.
Keep every label unique and easy to say at reception.
Do not include broken or permanently unavailable equipment as a normal selectable spot.
Make the session capacity consistent with the usable positions.
Check the layout again after rearranging the physical room.
Test the booking view
Preview a class that uses the room and select a spot from a phone-sized screen. Check orientation, label readability and what happens when another spot is already taken. Staff should also know where the chosen spot appears on the dated class roster.
Troubleshooting
Start with the symptom that matches what you can see. Check the existing record before repeating a booking, payment or import.
The class uses a room but the spot picker does not appear
Check these first
Confirm pick-a-spot is enabled for the class and the dated session uses the room with the saved layout.
Check that the session is published and has selectable positions remaining.
Next step: Attach the correct room and enable spot selection on the class, then preview that exact dated session.
Capacity and selectable spots do not agree
Check these first
Count only active usable positions in the room layout.
Review class defaults and any capacity override on the dated session.
Next step: Align session capacity with usable positions before new bookings, then resolve any existing client assigned outside the corrected layout.
The layout is confusing or reversed for clients
Check these first
Compare the preview orientation with the physical entrance and instructor position.
Check labels at phone width and remove decorative items that resemble selectable spots.
Next step: Rearrange and relabel the saved room, then test with someone who has not seen the editor before.
Answers before you get stuck
Should every class use pick-a-spot?
No. Use it when a specific equipment position matters to the client or staff. Ordinary open-floor classes are usually simpler with capacity-only booking.
What should I do when a reformer or station is unavailable?
Update the usable room layout or session setup before taking new bookings, then review any existing client assigned to that position.
