What This Screen Does

This is where you update an existing personal training membership type. Think of it like editing the details on a product card in a shop — you can change the name, description, pricing rules, access permissions, and more. The system loads the current settings for the personal training type and lets you modify them. Once you save, the changes take effect immediately.


How to Get There

  1. Open the dashboard.

  2. In the left-hand menu, click Personal training type.

  3. Find the personal training type you want to edit in the list.

  4. Click on it to open its details, then click the Edit button (or click the edit action directly from the list).

  5. You are now on the Edit Personal Training Type screen.

Troubleshooting

“I filled everything in but the Save Changes button does not work”

  • Double-check that all required fields are filled. The form will not submit if anything is missing.

  • Look for small red error messages below the fields — they tell you exactly what is wrong.

  • Make sure you have selected a contract and a welcome email template.

  • Make sure the cover image has been uploaded. At least one image is required.

“The ‘Valid to’ date keeps showing an error”

  • The “Can be purchased until” date must be later than the “Can be purchased from” date.

  • If you do not need an end date, leave the field empty.

“I do not see the ‘Limit training hours’ toggle”

  • This feature is only available on Premium or Platinum subscription plans.

  • If your chain is on a lower plan, this option will not appear. Contact your administrator about upgrading if you need this feature.

“I cannot change the price or tax rate”

  • In edit mode, the base price and tax rate fields are not shown. These are managed separately through the pricing management area.

  • You can still adjust the setup fee and validity dates on this screen.

“My cover image did not upload”

  • The image must be a JPEG, PNG, or GIF.

  • It must not exceed the maximum file size allowed by the system.

  • Only one cover image is allowed. If you already have one, the new image replaces it.

  • If the update succeeded but the image failed, try editing the type again and re-uploading the image.

“I do not see any contracts in the dropdown”

  • Contracts are loaded when the page opens. If the list is empty, try refreshing the page.

  • Make sure you have created at least one contract in the system. You can do this under the Contracts section.

“I do not see any email templates in the dropdown”

  • Email templates are filtered by type. The Welcome email dropdown only shows templates of type “Welcome Email”, and so on.

  • If none appear, you may need to create the appropriate email template first in the Email Templates section.

  • Try refreshing the page if templates were recently added.

“I turned on ‘Limit lock access’ but I do not see any locks”

  • Locks must be configured in your system before they appear here.

  • If no locks are set up, the lock access section will not appear at all.

  • Contact your administrator to set up door locks in the Gym settings.

“The ‘Anchor renewal to 1st of month’ toggle is greyed out”

  • This toggle is disabled when your gym already has a global setting that forces all memberships to renew on the first of the month.

  • In that case, the toggle is on by default and cannot be changed at the individual membership type level.

“I got an error after clicking Save Changes”

  • A red error message will appear. Read it carefully — it usually tells you what went wrong.

  • Common causes: server timeout, validation error on a field you may have missed, or a network issue.

  • Try again after a moment. If the error persists, contact support with the error message.
