Introduction
In the fast-moving world of fitness, connection matters. Whether it’s a member check-in, an onboarding consultation, a body-composition review, or a lead follow-up call, every appointment is a chance to build stronger relationships and drive better outcomes.
DropSlot®, a new innovation built directly into GymOS®, makes that process effortless. It’s your all-in-one consultation scheduling system – purpose-built for the modern fitness business – and it replaces the tangle of external booking apps and multiple calendars with one seamless, automated workflow.
What is DropSlot?
DropSlot is GymOS’s integrated consultation-booking feature, designed specifically for gyms and studios to handle everything outside the class timetable – inductions, progress reviews, goal-setting sessions, equipment demos, or sales consultations.
Unlike generalist schedulers, DropSlot is fully embedded within your GymOS ecosystem, ensuring every booking, attendee, and reminder flows through your existing platform, your data, and your brand.
At its core, DropSlot operates on an invitation-led model. You can issue one-off or recurring invitations to members, leads, or guests – either manually, automatically through schedules, or as part of nurture or trigger workflows. GymOS then handles the rest: managing availability, booking confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups – all while respecting each coach’s real-time schedule, absences, and holiday settings.
The accompanying DropSlot Scheduling Widget enables you to drop the appointment booking process into your website with ease and without the need for any technical knowledge.
How it Works
- Set Up Once, Automate Forever
Within the GymOS admin portal, you create your consultation types (e.g. Member Check-In, Lead Consultation, or Goal Review), define their duration, permitted attendee types, and select the hosts.
GymOS automatically considers staff availability, venue hours, and holidays when offering slots – so members only ever see genuine, bookable times. - Invite and Engage
Invitations can be sent ad hoc, triggered by automation (for example, when a lead signs up or a member hits 30 days), or issued on a recurring schedule. Each invitation links to a personalised booking page showing real-time availability. Reminders and follow-ups are handled automatically. - Embed in Your Website
With DropSlot’s ready-to-use embed widget, you can add your scheduler directly to your website in seconds – no technical setup required. Each event type generates a snippet of iFrame code and a public link, plus a scannable QR code for posters, landing pages, or social media.
Visitors can book consultations instantly from your site, and all bookings sync back into GymOS with no duplication or manual entry. - Seamless Member and Lead Experience
Members can book via FitnessHub or the FitnessHub mobile app, while leads use GuestHub or your embedded booking form. Bookings are confirmed instantly; attendees receive reminder emails, push notifications, and calendar links. For online consultations, GymOS even handles Zoom creation and join links automatically. - Complete GymOS Integration
All DropSlot bookings appear within your GymOS schedule, dashboards, and iCal feeds. Staff can mark attendance, reschedule, or trigger follow-up workflows, and managers gain complete visibility across the business – without needing to check multiple calendars.
Why It Matters to Your Gym
1. Save Time and Simplify Operations
DropSlot eliminates the daily juggling act between different apps, email threads, and calendars. With a single, centralised scheduler, every consultation, lead appointment, and follow-up lives in one place – automatically organised and fully synced across your team.
2. Strengthen Member Retention
Automated check-in schedules ensure every member gets the personal attention they deserve. Set it once, and GymOS will handle the recurring invites, reminders, and missed-session follow-ups – helping your coaches stay connected and proactive.
3. Convert More Leads
DropSlot turns curiosity into commitment. Embed your “Book a Consultation” link on your website, in social posts, or lead-capture campaigns. As soon as someone books, GymOS records them as a lead, tracks the outcome, and can trigger nurture programs for ongoing engagement.
4. Enhance Your Brand Experience
DropSlot keeps your clients in your ecosystem – not a third-party booking site. From branded web embeds to app-based booking journeys, every step looks and feels like your business, reinforcing professionalism and trust.
Yet another GymOS first!
DropSlot is far more than a simple scheduler. It’s a consultation engine – a deeply integrated system that connects your people, your members, and your operations.
By bringing automation, visibility, and control into one platform, it eliminates friction, reduces admin, and helps your business run smarter.
It’s another first for GymOS® – and another leap forward for premium gyms that value efficiency, member connection, and operational excellence.
