SchedulingKit

Appointment-Focused CRM for Climbing Gyms

Member records built from class, orientation and coaching bookings

SchedulingKit gives climbing gyms appointment-based member records for bookable sessions: each class or coaching booking creates or updates the profile with contact details, booking history, total spent, notes and (on Pro) package balances. It doesn't manage certifications, prerequisites, waivers or check-in.

Climbing gyms usually run a membership and check-in system for day passes, memberships and waivers. SchedulingKit covers bookable sessions. A new climber books an intro-to-belay class (a Group booking capped at eight), and their record is created from their email. The instructor adds "passed top-rope belay check" to the staff-only notes. On Pro, climbers can buy a coaching package. SchedulingKit doesn't track certifications with expiration dates, verify class prerequisites, collect waivers or handle check-in.

CRM Features for Climbing Gyms

Automatic Client Records

Every online booking creates or updates the member's record from their email address, with name, phone, address and notification preferences.

Booking History

Each record lists upcoming and past bookings, total bookings and total spent, so you can see what a member usually books and when they were last in.

Instructor Notes

Add private notes to the record, such as skill level or which belay check a climber passed. Notes are internal and are there the next time the client books. Certifications and expirations aren't tracked as fields.

Capped Classes

Run intro, lead and technique classes as Group bookings with a capacity.

Packages and Prepaid Sessions

On Pro and above, sell coaching bundles as a session-count or dollar-balance package. Balances are tracked per client and redeemed at booking; recurring packages bill through Stripe.

Staff Selection and Roles

Clients can pick a specific team member or "Any Available". Each person has their own working hours and days off, and roles (Owner, Admin, Manager, Staff or custom) control what each person can do.
