Special Training Types

Beyond standard group sessions, Trainery supports special training configurations for more specific needs. These are set up through your regular training templates and schedules, with a few key differences.

Individual Trainings

Individual trainings are one-on-one sessions between a trainer and a single member.

To create an individual training, set the capacity to 1 when creating your training template. This tells Trainery to treat it as a private session.

Individual trainings differ from group sessions in two ways:

• Not shown on the public calendar — Members will not see these sessions when browsing available trainings. This keeps your schedule clean and avoids confusion.
• Trainer books the member — Instead of the member booking themselves, you as the trainer add the member to the session directly.

Individual trainings are well-suited for personal coaching, assessments, or any scenario where you need a private session with a specific member.

Closed Schedules

A closed schedule is a pass-only training where participation is tied directly to holding a specific pass. This is useful for programs like fixed courses, workshops, or membership tiers where you want controlled enrollment.

Here is how closed schedules work:

• Members are automatically enrolled when they receive a linked pass. There is no need for them to manually book each session.
• Members cannot book without a linked pass — If someone does not hold the required pass, they will not be able to register for the session.
• A closed schedule needs at least one linked pass to be useful. If a closed schedule has no pass attached, the schedules list shows a “No pass linked — add” warning badge on the card. Click the badge to open pass creation pre-filled with the schedule and its name, so you can wire them up in one step.

Closed schedules are ideal for structured programs where you want a consistent group of participants across multiple sessions, such as a multi-week course or a specialty training series.
