Instructor cancellations happen shortly before a class starts
A replacement must be found among the relevant instructors, while the reception must also know the updated plan.

Employee scheduling for fitness centres - coordinate instructors and reception
Coordinate instructors, reception, and opening and closing shifts across the fitness centre. Find replacements and keep team messages and recorded hours together on mobile.
When the instructor cancels the evening class
An instructor cancels an evening class, reception needs an update, and the team must find a replacement quickly. VagtPilot brings the schedule, message and available qualified employees together.
A class can be booked even when the instructor is missing
Occasional employees may miss messages
Instructors with few weekly hours need mobile access to just their shifts and changes.
Class bookings and employee schedules are not the same
The members' booking does not necessarily tell who opens, sits at the reception or cleans.
How instructor and reception shifts fit together
Plan by role and class
Separate reception, instructors, cleaning and duty managers so coverage fits both opening hours and the class timetable.
Quick changes without private threads
When a class needs cover or a closing shift swaps, send the message to the relevant roles instead of the entire team.
Hours and operations in the same overview
Actual hours, changes and staffing become easier to follow when the plan is not separated from the communication.
Three situations from the centre manager's week

Open reception shift
