Less racing for classes. More training.
Fair class registration for studios that evens out over time.
No racing at registration time, no refreshing at 14:00, no luck. Members plan the classes they want; when there aren't enough places, one fair draw decides, and the next time, whoever missed out goes first.
The usual way vs. FairSet
The usual way
- Registration opens at a set time, and places go to whoever taps first.
- Members set alarms, keep the app open and refresh at the exact second.
- The same fast few get the popular classes; people with work, kids or a slow connection miss out.
- People book "just in case" and cancel late, so places sit empty.
The FairSet way
- Members mark the classes they want, any time before registration opens.
- Enough places? Everyone who planned is in.
- Too many? One draw sets the order, and the server books it. Nobody needs to be online.
- FairStars balance it out: winning a draw, cancelling late or not showing up adds one for 30 days; fewer FairStars go first next time.
How It Works
FairSet is a fair class registration service, built by the community for the community. The goal is simple: everyone who trains gets an equal chance to get into a class, no matter when they're free or how lucky they are.
- Plan: Choose next week's classes. See how many others plan each class.
- Lock: Plans lock shortly before registration opens.
- Enough spots? Everyone who planned gets in.
- Not enough? One draw sets the order. Getting a spot in a draw earns a FairStar for 30 days; so does cancelling after the draw or not showing up.
- Next time: Fewer FairStars goes first. Over time, everyone gets a fair share.
- Waiting list: Everyone else joins the waiting list in draw order. When a spot opens, the next in line is notified.
Everything a studio member needs, in one app
See every class, how many plan it and who's booked. Mark, unmark, done.
A freed place goes to the next in line; in the last hour it's offered for two minutes, then moves on.
This week's plan for each class, with exercise pages: photos, muscles and how to do it.
Log every set; see records, estimated max, weekly volume and the balance between movements.
Booked classes appear in your calendar and disappear when cancelled. Marked busy and private, so it works with your work calendar too.
Heart rate from your watch, matched to each part of the class, so you can see your fitness improve.
For studio owners
Class types, a weekly timetable, one-off changes and cancellations with a message to everyone booked.
Monthly plans, punch cards and renewals; join requests and roles for coaches and admins.
The roster and check-in for coaches; no-shows are noted automatically.
Settings, members, exercises, the schedule, draws and reports, from any computer.
Moving over is easy. A studio can move to FairSet in one night. Members keep the same plans and the same memberships, just with a lot more peace of mind.
Questions & Answers
Why FairSet?
Because signing up for a class shouldn't be a contest. We're meant to train together, not compete over who's free at the right moment. FairSet is here to fix that.
What does the app actually do?
You plan next week's classes, see who's signed up, get notified when a spot opens, follow the workout and log your weights.
What if I didn't get in?
You join the waiting list in draw order and get priority next time.
Who's behind this?
Members of the community, volunteering. Ideas and bug reports are welcome.
How much does it cost?
For now, the service is free.
