Open the form

Name it and pick its category

3

Set the day and time

Under Class Schedule, pick the Day, Start Time and End Time. If the class runs on more than one day, click Add Day for each extra day. A day can have its own Capacity Override and Instructor Override; leave them on the default otherwise.

Set the defaults (optional)

Under Class Defaults, set a Default Capacity (the most people per session), a Default Instructor and a Default Location. Tick Different location per schedule if the days are in different places.

5

Set who it's for (optional)

Under Eligibility Requirements, set a Minimum Age and Maximum Age, and a Minimum Belt Level and Maximum Belt Level. They show on the class's page.

Under Class Access, choose Open to all (members and drop-in visitors) or Members only (only members whose plan covers this class).

Click Update Class.

Pause or delete a class

  • To pause a class, choose Deactivate in its ⋯ menu. It keeps its history. Choose Activate to bring it back.
  • Delete Class removes it for good, but only if no attendance has ever been marked for it. Otherwise, deactivate it instead.
To charge drop-in visitors, make a One-time membership plan that covers the class. See Plan types and billing.
Use the class name to say who it's for, like "Juniors 6–10" or "Adults Open Mat". Members see the name.
