Recurring sessions

Pro feature

Set your regulars once. The calendar fills itself in.

Most of a session-based week is last week again: Monday and Wednesday at seven, a class every Thursday, a fill every other Friday. Recurring sessions put that rhythm into the calendar once, and let you change a single week without touching the rest.

Daily, weekly, every two weeks or monthly

Pick the days, like Monday and Wednesday

For one-to-one clients and group classes

Set up

Switch on Repeat, choose the days, pick an end date

Recurring is a switch on the same sheet you use for any session. Choose how often, which days of the week, and when the series ends. Before you save, Blockday tells you how many sessions it is about to create, so a mistyped end date shows up as a number, not as a cluttered calendar.

Daily, weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly

Changes

Change one week without breaking the series

Clients move a session, go on holiday, change their regular slot. When you edit or cancel a session that belongs to a series, Blockday asks how far the change should reach: only this session, this one and everything after it, or the whole series.

This and all future sessions

Groups

Classes repeat too

A weekly bootcamp or rehab class works the same way as a one-to-one regular. Make the group recurring, and when someone joins or leaves, choose whether that applies to one class or to every class from now on.

Common questions

No, recurring sessions are part of Pro. On the free plan you can still add sessions on any future date, one at a time.

Yes. Open the session and switch on Make recurring. Blockday creates the rest of the series from that session onwards and shows how many sessions that will be before you confirm.

Sessions stop at the end date you set. Sessions near the end are labelled — "ends today", "last session" — so a series does not run out unnoticed.

No. Blockday is your record of the work; it does not message your clients.

How to track group sessions, bootcamps, and classes

Either the class is one entry and you lose individual attendance, or it is twelve entries and logging costs more than teaching. There is a third option.
