Scheduling a Cancellation ❌ Restricted Memberships

We’re excited to announce that you can now schedule a cancellation for a restricted membership. Previously, it was only possible to set an immediate cancellation for any clients on a restricted membership. With this update, you can:

  • Reduce admin burden by ensuring staff no longer have to set reminders to cancel a restricted membership in 30 days time
  • Ensure that you never miss a cancelation request deadline.
  • Avoid upset clients due to unexpected charges.
  • Less potential for refund processing.

How do I schedule a cancellation?

  • On the 'Memberships' tab on the client profile, hit 'Actions'
  • Then 'Cancel membership'
  • Choose a date for the membership to be canceled

Points to note:

  • No changes to credit handling: Note, that credits will not be automatically adjusted when a cancellation is scheduled. Staff will need to manually adjust credits as necessary.

This is available for everyone using ABC Glofox with restricted memberships set up.

Secure Your Account With Two-Step Verification

Add an extra layer of protection to your account with two-step verification. 

Instead of relying solely on a password, Two-step verification also requires a one-time verification code that's sent to your email each time you log in.

This helps prevent security threats like unauthorized access to your dashboard, manipulation of your payment settings, and potential data breaches—even if a bad actor has obtained your password.

How do I enable Two-Step Verification?

As an Admin or Superadmin, to enable two-step verification, you must:

  1. Go to Manage > Trainers
  2. Open your profile
  3. Click on the "Configure two-step verification" button
  4. Upon being clicked, a new modal will pop up, where you can read detailed information.
  5. Click on the "Enable two-step verification" toggle.

Note that you must access the email associated with your profile to receive the required verification code, so make sure that the email address is accurate and updated.

Learn more about Two-Step Verification and using it day-to-day from our Knowledge Base article.

New Setting: Limit Upcoming Bookings πŸ“†

We’re excited to announce a new class booking setting! This setting restricts the total number of upcoming bookings a client can hold at any given time, regardless of the timeframe.

What do I need to know?

  • Under your Booking Settings, Admins can activate and set a max number of upcoming bookings e.g. the client can have a max number of 15 bookings at any one time.
  • As the client attends/cancels classes and the number of upcoming bookings decreases, they can book additional classes within the allowed limit.


Key Benefits:

  • Improved access for all clients: By preventing power users from booking all available spots, this setting ensures fair access to classes for all clients
  • Enhanced member retention: By offering more equitable booking opportunities, you can reduce client churn and keep members engaged and satisfied

How is this different to the original max booking setting?

  • Time-Based vs. Total Upcoming Bookings: Our original max booking setting is time-bound (e.g. X number of bookings per week), while this new setting caps the total number of future bookings a client can hold at any moment

You can use both settings in tandem, or choose to use one or the other.

Please see more details in our Knowledge Base article.
