Running a gym

[Jonathan Lister]

Hi,
What I’m trying to do is setup a WordPress site to manage recurring and one-off gym classes, which people can pay to register for. Either they can do this by paying on the spot, or they can create an account, top up with credit, and get a discount when they pay using their account funds.
I’ve found that WooCommerce is a good fit for setting up the account side of things, but I’m looking for something to handle the gym events, with embedded payment links in each event listing. Is your WooCommerce integration the thing for me? If so, can I get early access to it??

Thanks,

Jonathan

I’m developing a site for an art studio and would also like the ability to have people register for multiple classes and pay on one cart. Is this possible?

Hey folks. Thanks for the note here, and apologies that we’ve taken some time to get you a response – my colleague who was managing this forum is sadly no longer with us, so I’m taking over this week and catching up on what was missed. You can expect responses to come daily (during the work week, that is) from now on. But I appreciate your patience so far.

The core calendar itself should serve the purposes of both an art studio and a gym, in terms of merely showcasing events. Once you get into registration and submission there are more components at play. Tickets at this time can be sold using either the Eventbrite Tickets add-on (which requires you handle the tickets through Eventbrite) or our forthcoming WooTickets add-on, which integrates with WooCommerce and can keep the entire purchase limited to the site. (That add-on will be out in the fall).

Certain aspects beyond that are outside the scope of what we can author. In Jonathan’s use case, for example, the account registration / loading up credits / getting a payment discount wouldn’t be handled by the plugin – though you could probably build or find a third-party solution on that end. On Karen’s situation, registration would be doable insofar as one of the aforementioned ticketing add-ons met your needs. (We’ve had requests for an RSVP-centric plugin and will likely be building one at some point, but that is not on the immediate roadmap).

Hope that helps. If it didn’t, please let me know and I’ll adjust my response to get you what you need. Thanks again for your interest.

Hi Rob, thanks for the response.

Looking forward to the WooTickets release – how much longer?? 🙂

Hey Jonathan,
