Areas are the bookable physical spaces in your gym: tennis and padel courts, fitness rooms, soccer fields, studios, pools, and climbing walls. Each area belongs to one gym, has an area type for grouping, an hourly price, operating hours, a set of attributes, and a color used on the schedule. You manage areas under Resources > Areas in the admin.

​
Overview

  • Group by gym and area type - Areas are organized per gym, and each area is tagged with an area type (Court, Room, Field, Studio) that carries its own sports and default player count.
  • Price per hour - Seed the booking price from a per-hour rate, multiplied by the booked duration.
  • Concurrency - Model a multi-court resource with a max concurrent bookings count.
  • Attributes - Tag intrinsic, sport-aware characteristics (indoor/outdoor, surface, lighting, climate, sport-specific features) that describe what the area is.
  • Operating hours - Set per-day open and close times, or fall back to the gym’s default hours.
  • Visibility and status - Control who sees the area and whether it appears on the schedule.
  • Schedule color - Choose the color the area’s blocks use on the calendar.

​
The list page

Areas are grouped by gym. Each gym section shows its areas in a sortable row layout with these columns: drag handle, area name, area type, price, status, visibility, and a row menu. Drag a row by its handle to reorder areas inside that gym; the order is what members see in the booking flow. If two admins reorder at the same time, the second save returns a conflict and the list reloads to the latest order. Click Add in a gym section header to create an area scoped to that gym, or open a row to view its details.

​
Creating or editing an area

The area dialog asks for:
  • Name and Gym - which gym the area belongs to.
  • Area type - the grouping (Court, Room, Field, Studio, etc.). Area types are managed under Settings > Area types, carry their own sort order, and define the sports played in that type of space plus a default max players. The chosen area type’s sports also decide which attributes are offered (see below).
  • Description and Images (up to 5) - shown on the public booking pages.
  • Color - the color used for the area’s blocks on the schedule.
  • Price per hour - in your organization’s currency. Used when a booking is created against this area; the booking duration multiplied by this rate seeds the line total before discounts.
  • Max concurrent bookings - how many simultaneous bookings the area accepts (e.g. a 4-court padel block modeled as a single resource might be set to 4). Minimum 1.
  • Status - Active, Inactive, or Maintenance. The schedule page filters its area query to active areas, so inactive and maintenance areas don’t appear on the calendar.
  • Visibility - Public (visible to anyone), Member only (visible after sign-in), or Private (admin-only). The visibility chip appears on the detail page and the row.
  • Attributes - a multi-select of the area’s intrinsic characteristics (see below).
  • Operating hours - per-day open and close times, with an option to fall back to the gym’s default hours.

​
Area attributes

Attributes describe what an area physically is - separate from club-level amenities, which describe services the whole club offers (showers, parking, cafe). Attributes are set per area, so Court 1 can be floodlit while Court 2 is not. They power marketplace filtering and help members pick the right space. The catalog is platform-curated and grouped into five categories:
  • Environment - Indoor, Outdoor, Covered, Semi-covered.
  • Lighting - Floodlights, Natural light.
  • Climate - Heated, Air-conditioned, Climate controlled.
  • Surface - sport-specific, e.g. Clay, Grass, Acrylic hard court, Carpet, Artificial grass (racket); Natural turf, Artificial turf, Sport court, Sand (team); Rubber flooring (fitness); Sprung floor, Marley floor (studio and dance); Tatami (martial arts).
  • Feature - sport-specific, e.g. Panoramic glass (padel), Lifting platform and Functional rig (fitness), Ballet barre (dance), Boxing ring and Cage (martial arts), Lap lanes (water), Bouldering wall, Top rope, Lead wall, Auto belay (climbing).
The picker is sport-aware. Universal attributes (environment, lighting, climate) always show. Surface and feature attributes appear only when they match the area type’s sports - so a padel court offers Artificial grass and Panoramic glass, a dojo offers Tatami and Cage, and a climbing area offers Bouldering wall and Auto belay. If you haven’t picked an area type yet, all attributes show until you do. An attribute you’ve already selected is never hidden, even if you later change the area type.

​
The area detail page

Click an area row to open its detail page. The header shows the name with action buttons to toggle visibility (cycles Private to Member only to Public), edit, and delete. The body has two cards:
  • Information - area type, price per hour, status chip, color swatch, visibility chip, description, and attributes.
  • Operating hours - the weekly schedule, read-only.
If the area has images, a sortable image gallery sits above the information card. Drag thumbnails to reorder. Deleting an area is destructive: it removes the area, all its bookings, and the invoices linked to those bookings. The confirmation dialog spells this out before you commit. Prefer setting an area to Inactive if you only want to stop new bookings.

​
How areas show up on the schedule

The Schedule page reads active areas and renders one column per area in day view, grouped by area type. Each block on the calendar uses the area’s color (or a hash-generated color if none is set). Hidden area types or hidden uncategorized areas - configured under Settings > Operations > Schedule display - default to off but can be toggled per browser via the resource filter panel. The booking dialog uses the area’s price per hour to seed the price breakdown. A booking policy scoped by area type can override payment timing or refund rules for a subset of areas.

Worked examples

​
Padel club with indoor and outdoor courts

You run six padel courts and want members to filter by conditions.
  • Create an Area type called Padel court under Settings > Area types, with the sport set to padel.
  • Add one area per court. On the indoor courts set attributes Indoor, Panoramic glass, Artificial grass, Climate controlled. On the outdoor courts set Outdoor, Floodlights, Artificial grass.
  • Set Price per hour per court, and give indoor and outdoor courts different colors so the schedule reads at a glance.
  • Pair with a booking policy scoped to the Padel court area type for lead times and cancellation windows.

​
Multi-sport racket center

You offer tennis, padel, and squash.
  • Create three area types (Tennis court, Padel court, Squash court) so the attribute picker offers the right surfaces for each (Clay and Acrylic hard court for tennis, Artificial grass for padel).
  • Reorder areas within each gym so your show-court or premium courts appear first in the booking flow.

​
Martial arts dojo

  • Create a Mat area (sport: jiu-jitsu, muay-thai) and set attributes Indoor, Tatami, Mats, Air-conditioned.
  • Add a Ring area for boxing with Boxing ring, or a Cage area for MMA with Cage and Padded walls.

​
Climbing gym

  • Create a Bouldering area with Bouldering wall and Training board, and a Roped area with Top rope, Lead wall, and Auto belay.
  • Use Max concurrent bookings to cap how many climbers can book a wall session at once.

​
Tips & best practices

  • Set the area type first. It scopes the attribute picker to relevant surfaces and features and seeds the default player count, so create your area types before your areas.
  • Attributes are for members, not billing. They drive filtering and discovery; price and payment live on the area and the booking policy.
  • Prefer Inactive over Delete. Deleting removes bookings and invoices. Use Inactive or Maintenance to take a court offline temporarily.
  • Give each area a distinct color so the schedule is readable when several areas run side by side.
  • Model multi-court blocks deliberately. Either create one area per court (best for per-court pricing and attributes) or one area with Max concurrent bookings set to the court count (simpler, but no per-court detail).

​
Troubleshooting

Issue: An area doesn’t appear on the schedule. Solution: The schedule only shows Active areas. Check the area’s status is Active, not Inactive or Maintenance. Also confirm its area type isn’t hidden under Settings > Operations > Schedule display, or toggle it back on in the resource filter panel. Issue: The attribute I want isn’t in the list. Solution: The picker filters to attributes relevant to the area type’s sports. Set or change the Area type so its sports match (e.g. pick a racket sport to see Panoramic glass and Artificial grass). Universal attributes (Indoor, Floodlights, Heated) always show. Issue: I can’t delete an area. Solution: Deleting an area also deletes its bookings and their invoices, so the confirmation is deliberate. If you only want to stop new bookings, set the area to Inactive instead. Issue: My reorder didn’t stick. Solution: If another admin reordered the same gym’s areas at the same time, the later save is rejected and the list reloads to the latest order. Reapply your order on the refreshed list.
