Your schedule is built in two layers: class types (what you teach) and schedule slots (when you teach it). Get the class types right first — slots point at them.
Before you start
Set your studio timezone first. Every slot time is interpreted in it.
Creating class types
A class type needs a name, a duration in minutes, a price, and whether it's a group class or a private. Group classes book into fixed weekly slots. Private classes book inside your availability windows instead — they don't need slots at all.
Once a class type exists you can change its price, capacity, duration, minimum attendees, whether it's visible to the public or to members, whether it's virtual, whether it requires a waiver, and whether it's active. Capacity and duration have to be at least 1, and price can't be negative.
Pausing vs trashing. Setting a class type inactive pauses bookability while it still shows in your main list. Trashing it hides it from booking and reporting but doesn't delete anything — past appointments, schedules, waitlist entries, and signed waivers still reference it. A trashed class type with no history left can be permanently deleted from the Classes page, and only from there, because it can't be undone.
Class type edits apply to future bookings and your public booking page. Appointments already on the books don't change.
Building the weekly schedule
A slot is one recurring class: a class type, a day of the week, a start and end time, and an instructor. The instructor is required unless you're a solo studio, in which case you're assigned automatically. When you assign an instructor, future unassigned appointments at that same day and time get rebound to them in the background.
Every other week. Set a recurrence interval (1 to 8 weeks) plus an anchor date. The anchor is the first occurrence and must fall on the slot's own weekday, so decide which week you want to start on.
Two class types alternating in one time slot. This works — create one slot per class type at the same day and time, give them the same interval, and offset their anchor dates by one interval-week so they never land on the same date. A four-way rotation on a four-week cycle is the same idea.
Changing a slot later
Pausing a slot stops the recurring template; resuming it re-checks the one-instructor-per-timeslot rule and is rejected if that would conflict. Deleting removes the template entry permanently. Either way, appointments already booked are untouched, and neither one messages your clients. If you're unsure, pause rather than delete.
