Spottr for Classes & bootcamps
Run the session from your phone, outdoors, with one hand.
A spot count that cannot be oversold, a register you can read in the dark, and a cancellation that tells everyone why.
You are standing in a park at 5:55am with a phone in one hand and a kettlebell in the other, and you need to know who is actually coming.
Here today
built and workingA spot count that holds under pressure
Two people tapping Book at the same second cannot both get the last spot. The count is locked in the database for the length of the booking, not checked in the browser and hoped over, which is how every oversold session happens.
The register, on the screen you already have open
Who booked, in order, for the sessions you run and only those. Nobody can see the register for somebody else's session.
Cancel with a reason, and everyone gets told
Calling off a wet Tuesday keeps the booking rows so the people who booked can see it was cancelled and why. A session that silently vanishes reads as a session you forgot.
A venue that already exists
Sessions attach to a place in the shared directory, so a regular can find you by searching near where they are standing rather than by already knowing your name.
Not yet
does not existNamed rather than hinted at. Four of the thirteen platforms in this market will not tell you what they cost at all; none of them will tell you what they cannot do.
Taking the money
Spottr cannot charge for a spot yet. You book people in and settle up however you do now. Card payment for a session is the next thing being built, and it is a bigger job than it sounds, see the pricing page for exactly where it is.
Late-cancel and no-show charges
A late cancellation is recorded against the venue's cutoff, and nobody is billed for it, there is no charge to take. Waitlists themselves work: drop out and the next person is promoted automatically and told.
Blocks and terms you sell as one thing
A weekly timetable generates its own dates, eight weeks at a time, and extends. What you cannot do is sell that block as a single purchase, there is no way to take money for a series rather than a place.
And what they get
The half of this market nobody bothers with
The people in your session are not downloading a booking screen. They get a real training log, every set they do, what they did last time already on screen, their own records found for them. Most of them will keep using it on the days you are not running anything, which is the whole reason they will not delete it.
What it costs
Your own training
Free
Logging, routines, the calendar, sharing, the directory and classes. Not a trial of these, and no card to start.
Depth, per person
$5.00/mo
Long-term progress charts and coaching a roster. No card to start, and everything else stays free. $50.00 a year if you prefer.
There is no venue plan yet, and no price for one
Everything above is per person. A plan for a business does not exist, because the things a business would be paying for, memberships, recurring billing, waitlists, check-in, are the things listed under “not yet”. When it exists, its price will be a number on the pricing page.
Coming from a spreadsheet or a group chat?
Your own training history imports, a delimited file, with you confirming which column is which before a row is written, free and with no subscription first. A list of other people does not yet, and pretending otherwise would be the first broken promise. What there is either way: nothing to unpick if you change your mind. Everything you put into Spottr comes back out as a spreadsheet, on any plan, including one that has lapsed, with one click and no support ticket.

- TeamUp
- Momence
- Eventbrite
Bringing a list of people across is the biggest single blocker in this market, and it is being built. In the meantime there is something more useful than a promise: exactly which fields survive an export from your current platform, including the ones that do not, which is the list nobody else publishes.
The fair objection
“I don't have a venue or a front desk. Is this built for someone like me?”
It is built for exactly that. There is no front-desk screen to staff, no terminal to buy and no kiosk to plug in. A session is a place, a time and a number of spots, and the place can be a park. The parts of this category that assume a reception desk are the parts Spottr has not built.
Start free, decide later.
No card, and a free tier that does not expire. Pay only if the paid part turns out to be worth it.
