Join or manage the waitlist

When a class is full, signed-in clients can join the waitlist. The earliest eligible person is moved in when a seat opens.

Who can do this: Clients join themselves. Staff: managers and front desk (any class); instructors (taught classes only). General staff cannot waitlist.

Students

  1. When the class is full, tap Join waitlist on the public schedule or class page (including the site embed). You must be signed in.
  2. You can leave the waitlist yourself and see your place in line (for example You’re #2).
  3. Waitlisted classes show under My classes.

How a seat is filled

If someone cancels, the earliest person who can take the seat is moved in automatically:

  • Free or open-booking classes: no credit needed.
  • Members with a credit or unlimited plan: that entitlement is used when they are moved in, not when they join the waitlist.
  • Someone who still needs to pay stays on the waitlist. The next eligible person gets the seat.

Staff

The roster lists waitlist position, name, joined time, and a Next up marker. Staff can remove a person or Move in from the roster; Move in fails until that client has a credit or the class is free.

Gotchas

  • If they were on the waitlist and a seat opens, they get the A spot opened email — not a second booking confirmation.
  • Waitlist is not included in the Dashboard Upcoming class bookings count.
  • If booked counts are hidden from clients, they still see Join waitlist when the class is full.
