Open Gym priority for Remote Coaching athletes

Hey everyone,

Our gym has limited space during group classes, and we only have 4 Open Gym spots available then. There’s no limit throughout the day, but evenings and peak hours are tight.

We also have several athletes who pay for remote coaching, and their membership includes Open Gym access. While regular members are also allowed to use Open Gym, we want to find a fair way to prioritize space for our remote-coached athletes, since they’re paying for a higher-tier service and follow individualized programs that require consistent access.

Has anyone implemented systems or rules that:

• Give priority or guaranteed spots to remote-coached athletes?
• Allow both groups to use Open Gym without creating conflict?
• Use booking rules, dedicated spots, waitlist priority, or other structures to manage this?

Would love to hear what other gyms are doing, what works, and what to avoid.

Thanks in advance for the insight!
