Log the class once. Every participant keeps their own record.

Group work breaks most trackers. Either the class is one entry and you lose who actually came, or it is twelve entries and logging it takes longer than teaching it. In Blockday a group session is one block on your calendar, with a record for each participant underneath.

One block on the calendar for the whole class

Paid or unpaid per participant

Groups can repeat every week

A trainer’s Thursday in Blockday, with a Bootcamp group session for four people at 19:00

Set up

Name it, add people, save

Give the group a name and a colour, then add participants from your client list or type new names. The calendar shows the class as a single block with its head count, so a day with two classes and six one-to-ones still reads at a glance.

Per person

Nobody disappears into a class total

Each class goes into every participant’s own history, next to their one-to-one sessions, and each participant has their own paid state. When one person falls behind, it shows on their line in the client list — not as a vague shortfall on the class.
