You were warmed up at six. They hit snooze on you.
Missed sessions, twelve months
$5,040
$70 × 6 missed a month × 12, or $420 a month. Your figures, our multiplication.
You wrote the programme, drove there, and set up. Sessurely holds a card, charges the late cancel and the no-show for you, and keeps prepaid blocks tracked without you counting.
Want late cancels in the figure too? The full calculator splits them out and subtracts our fee.
The business you are actually in
A six o’clock slot is perishable. Nobody wants a session at ten past six, and the floor time is booked either way.
Which is why a no-show in training is not a missed workout. It is a paid hour you cannot resell.
A Tuesday on the floor
Left is how it goes now. Right is the same Tuesday with a card on file and a policy behind it.
Today
What it costs you
With Sessurely
What changes
Today
You programmed the session the night before.Progressions, loads, the thing he struggled with last week. Unpaid, and specific to one person.
With Sessurely
The card is authorised before you write a word.A card on file at booking, and nothing is charged unless he misses it. The preparation is protected either way.
Today
You are on the floor at ten to six.Set up, warm, and waiting. At quarter past you accept it and go home having earned nothing.
With Sessurely
The no-show fee is charged and you go home paid.Under the window he agreed to, on the card already on file, without a message from you.
Today
He cancels at five in the morning, every third week.Technically he told you. It is still an hour you cannot sell and a pattern you are pretending not to notice.
With Sessurely
A late cancel is charged like a no-show.Because they cost you the same hour. Set the window once and the pattern stops paying for itself.
Today
He bought ten sessions and you are both counting.Nobody is sure whether that was seven or eight, and the conversation is awkward for both of you.
With Sessurely
The block tracks itself.Sessions remaining sit on his record, visible to you both, and packages carry no fee from us.
Today
Some sessions are in the gym and some are on a call.Two systems, two links, and a client who joined the wrong one.
With Sessurely
One page handles both.Each service carries its own duration, location and deposit, and the confirmation carries the right link.
Today
You would have to charge a friend for not turning up.He has trained with you for two years. You will not send that message, so the policy quietly stops existing.
With Sessurely
Nobody sends anything. It was agreed at booking.The fee runs on the card he authorised, under the rule you set once, on a calm afternoon.
Deposits, the card on file, no-show and late-cancel fees, packages and gift cards, follow-ups drafted for you, and a freed slot offered to your waitlist on its own are part of Pro. Starter keeps the booking page, the client book, intake forms, a waitlist you offer by hand, and email and text reminders, free with no clock on it. Compare the plans.
What a card on file on a $70 session is worth
One sum, at training rates, that you can check between clients.
Six missed sessions a month
$5,040
A year of programmed hours at $70 a session. Nothing recovers any of it, because there was nothing on file.
With a $35 fee on each
$2,520
Charged to you across the same year, on the card he agreed to at booking. Stripe’s processing and our 2% come off that, line by line here.
Pro, for the year
$599.99
An effective $49.99 a month. Two recovered sessions a month more than cover it at these prices.
Arithmetic, not a forecast. Most of the value is that fewer people miss at all once a card is on file, and that is deliberately not in these figures because we cannot measure it for your clients.
Day one
What to set, and then leave alone
A card on file, not a deposit
Training is repeat business at a modest price, so asking for money at every booking is friction you do not need. Save a card once, charge only when somebody misses. Prepaid blocks work the same way with no fee from us.
Twelve to twenty-four hours
Enough notice to fill a six o’clock, and short enough that a genuine emergency is not punished. Inside it, a late cancel is charged the fee you set. Outside it, he moves himself.
Then nothing
Reminders go out the evening before, which is when a six o’clock is actually saved. Follow-ups are drafted so a client who has skipped two weeks hears from you instead of drifting off.
None of this is a tactic you can run from a notebook. A deposit needs a payment processor, and a no-show fee needs a card that was authorised at booking. That is the part software has to do. How the charge works.
Never the same word twice
A saved card is not a payment. You should never have to wonder which one you have.
- Due
- What a client still owes you. Nothing has arrived.
- Held
- Deposits already paid, sitting in your Stripe balance, set aside for a booking that has not happened yet.
- Collected
- Money that arrived, including cash you recorded by hand.
- Recovered
- Fees kept or charged on appointments nobody attended. Green, because it is money kept.
Deposit paid
$35 taken · counts toward the $70
Money already in your Stripe account, set aside for that appointment. It comes off what he owes on the day.
Card held
$0 taken · $70 on the card
Nothing charged. The card is saved and only used if he misses it or cancels inside your window.
No deposit
$0 · nothing to charge
If he does not arrive, the time is simply gone. This is the state every other booking link leaves you in.
Different words, different borders, and the amount on every row. Your accent colour is yours to choose, which is exactly why colour never carries the meaning on its own.
More than no-show protection
No-show protection is where most trainers start. Sessurely runs the whole book: your own booking page, a calendar that stays in sync, and a real client book with session history, notes and progress. Sell blocks of sessions at no fee from us, send intake and health forms before the first session. Reminders go out on their own, and follow-ups are drafted for you to approve.
You keep what you earn. There is no commission on your appointments, money goes straight to your own Stripe account, and your clients are always yours.
Pricing
Free for everyone, with no clock on it.
Starter does not expire and never asks for a card. We would rather be paid when appointment protection actually produces money than charge you for a calendar.
So when it produces money, we take 2% of a deposit or a no-show fee, capped at $10.
Nothing on your prices. Nothing on packages or gift cards. Nothing added to what your client pays.

FAQ
Questions from personal trainers
Can I charge a late-cancellation fee?
Yes, and for training it matters more than the no-show fee, because a five-in-the-morning cancellation costs you the same hour. Set a window per service and anything inside it is charged the fee you chose.
Does it work for both in-person and virtual training?
Yes. Each service carries its own duration, location and deposit rules, and a virtual session’s meeting link travels with the confirmation and the reminder.
Is a card on file better than a deposit for training?
Usually, yes. Training is repeat business at a modest price, so a card saved once with nothing taken is less friction than a deposit at every booking. Both are available per service.
How do prepaid blocks of sessions work?
Sell a block of ten and sessions remaining sit on the client’s record, visible to you both, so neither of you is counting. We take no fee on packages.
I train out of a gym I do not own. Is this for me?
Yes. If you set your own prices and keep what you charge, this is built for you. The account is yours, not the building's: your booking page, your clients, your policy and your prices stay separate from whoever else works in the room, and you can export everything we hold in one file on any plan.
I am employed by the gym. Is this for me?
Probably not yet, and we would rather say so. The deposit, the no-show fee and the cancellation window would be your employer's decisions rather than yours, and those are the parts of Sessurely that do the work. When you go independent, this is here.
