Automate group class registration and management.
Fill your classes and manage every attendee automatically.
Group classes and workshops have different scheduling needs than individual appointments. Schedly handles the complexity of group scheduling — capacity limits that close registration automatically, waitlists that fill cancellations, and attendee communications sent to every registrant simultaneously.
The exact flow your clients experience
From first click to confirmed booking — every step automated by Schedly.
Create your group class event type
Configure the class name, description, duration, capacity limit, pricing, and recurring schedule. Set the instructor, location, and any required intake questions.
Share your registration link
Link to your class registration from your website, social media, and email newsletter. The registration page shows upcoming class dates and available slots.
Class fills automatically — waitlist activates
When the class reaches capacity, Schedly closes registration and automatically shows a waitlist sign-up option for interested participants.
Manage the class from one dashboard
View all registrants, send updates to all attendees, process cancellations, and manage waitlist notifications from the Schedly admin dashboard.
Everything you need for this use case
Recurring class schedule management
Set up recurring class schedules (weekly yoga every Tuesday at 7pm) once. Schedly creates all future class instances and manages registration for each independently.
Per-class pricing and package discounts
Charge drop-in rates per class or sell class packages (10-class pass) at a discount. Schedly tracks package usage and adjusts payment requirements accordingly.
Group communications to all attendees
Send location changes, schedule updates, or preparation instructions to all registered attendees with one message. No individual messaging required.

Group Class Scheduling: The Operational Infrastructure for Scalable Service Delivery
Group classes represent the most operationally leveraged format in service businesses: a single provider hour delivers value to 5, 10, or 20 clients simultaneously rather than one. This leverage makes group class formats attractive for scaling revenue without proportional growth in provider time. But realizing the economic potential of group class formats requires scheduling infrastructure that can manage the complexity individual appointment scheduling doesn't face: variable capacity across class instances (different attendance each week), registration closing and waitlist activation when capacity is reached, payment processing for both drop-in registrations and multi-class packages, and communication management for registrant lists that change with every cancellation and waitlist fill.
The Economics of Class Capacity Optimization
Class capacity optimization — consistently filling available seats to an operationally and financially optimal level — is the primary revenue management challenge for group class businesses. Under-full classes generate below-potential revenue while maintaining the same overhead (instructor time, facility cost). Over-full classes reduce service quality and create safety or compliance concerns in some service categories. The optimal class capacity balances revenue generation with service quality maintenance, and scheduling infrastructure plays a direct role in achieving this balance by: showing accurate availability that drives registration decisions, closing registration at the right capacity threshold, and activating waitlists that fill cancellations before they create empty seats.
Building a Multi-Class Schedule That Retains Attendees
Class format businesses that achieve the highest retention rates share a common operational characteristic: they make it easy for attendees to maintain a consistent schedule. Scheduling infrastructure that shows the full calendar of upcoming classes, allows pre-registration for multiple future sessions, sends timely reminders that make 'I forgot' no-shows rare, and offers easy rescheduling when a regular attendee misses a session creates the habit reinforcement that turns occasional class attendees into consistent members. The transition from occasional attendee to habitual member is where class business unit economics fundamentally change: habit-based attendees generate predictable, recurring revenue while requiring minimal marketing or conversion investment.
