Sometimes you need to hold a spot in a class for a specific reason — perhaps a client is coming but hasn’t booked yet, or you want to reserve capacity for a corporate group. Clovo’s Block/Reserve feature lets you hold spots without assigning them to a specific client.

How to block or reserve a spot

  1. In Clovo Studio, go to the Openings page.
  2. Click on the class you want to hold a spot in.
  3. Click the Block/Reserve button in the Bookings section.
  4. The spot will be held, reducing the available capacity shown to clients.

When to use this feature

  • Walk-in clients — hold a spot for a regular who always turns up but doesn’t book ahead
  • Equipment maintenance — if a reformer or piece of equipment is out of service, block that spot to reduce capacity
  • Corporate or group holds — reserve multiple spots for a group that’s confirmed but hasn’t individually booked
  • Instructor space — if the instructor needs to use a spot (e.g. for demonstration)

Blocked spots reduce the total available capacity for the class. If you want to book a specific client into a class instead, use the Book Client feature.
