Class booking for yoga and pilates studios
A group class is a handful of places at a fixed hour. iGenTor takes sign-ups over WhatsApp, closes the class when it fills, runs the waitlist and reminds everyone who booked.

Unlike a one-to-one appointment, a group class is a capacity: eight mats, twelve reformers. Sign-ups arrive as scattered WhatsApp messages, the teacher counts by hand, and whoever cancelled that morning leaves an empty space someone else would gladly have taken.
- Counting sign-ups by hand in a WhatsApp group.
- A class that filled up with nobody telling the last person who signed up.
- A morning-of cancellation that leaves an empty space.
- Class packs that run out without anyone noticing.
How iGenTor fixes it
Every class is defined with a number of places. The agent takes sign-ups over WhatsApp, closes the class when capacity is reached and puts the next people on a waitlist. When someone cancels, the place is offered automatically to the first in line — with nobody having to track it.
What's included
Capacity per class
Set how many participants each class takes and the system closes it automatically when full. No more counting by hand.
Automatic waitlist
Anyone signing up to a full class joins the waitlist and is messaged the moment a place opens. A half-empty class becomes a full one.
Class packs and memberships
Track how many classes remain in a pack and send a renewal reminder before it runs out.
A recurring weekly timetable
A repeating weekly schedule with exceptions for holidays and breaks, so you never reopen sign-ups from scratch each week.
A permanent link for your Instagram bio
One link that always shows this week's timetable and remaining places. It stays free for life, subscription or not, so it is worth putting in your bio today.
A WhatsApp group vs a booking system
A WhatsApp group is how most small studios run sign-ups, and it works — until there are two classes on one evening and a waitlist. Then the manual count starts to slip, and someone turns up to a full class only to find there is no mat for them. Beyond the lost place it damages the experience: nobody wants to be the person who came for nothing. A group also exposes every participant's phone number to everyone else, which not all of them agreed to. iGenTor does not take you out of WhatsApp; participants still sign up by message exactly as before, it is just that someone now counts for you, closes the class on time and keeps the waitlist informed.
How to start
- Connect the studio WhatsApp number by scanning a QR code.
- Set the weekly timetable and the number of places in each class.
- Define class packs and prices — sign-ups open immediately.
Studio booking FAQ
How does the waitlist work?
Anyone signing up to a full class joins the list in order. The moment someone cancels, the place is offered automatically to the first in line by WhatsApp, with a time limit before it passes on.
Can different teachers run different classes?
Yes. Each class can have its own teacher, capacity and duration.
Do participants need an app?
No. Sign-ups happen over WhatsApp or through a booking page in a browser — nothing to install.
What about holidays and breaks?
Set exceptions and closed dates, and the system simply will not open sign-ups for those classes.
Can participants cancel and free their place themselves?
Yes, and that is what makes the waitlist work: a place given up in the morning is offered to the next person automatically, so classes stay full without anyone chasing.

Appointment waitlists — how to refill cancellations
A cancellation is not a loss — it is only a loss if the slot stays empty. The difference is almost always speed of response.
WhatsApp vs a dedicated booking system
WhatsApp is the most widely used appointment tool there is. The question is not whether it works, but up to what size.
