For personal trainers and gym staff

Six in the morning and eight at night, with a hole in the middle

Personal training happens before work and after work, because that is when clients are free. The result is a day bookended by early mornings and late evenings with a long midday gap — and a diary that changes as clients rebook.

The schedules this actually has to cope with

Freeish is built around these, not around a nine-to-five with the occasional exception.

Early mornings

A six o’clock client means a five o’clock start, which decides the night before.

Evening block

Back-to-back sessions from five until eight or nine.

The midday gap

Several hours between blocks, often too short to get home and not long enough to be a day.

A diary that moves

Clients rebook and cancel, so the week changes through the week.

What it sounds like at home

“The gap in the middle of my day reads as free time to everyone.”
“A five o’clock start means an early night nobody else plans around.”
“Clients rebook and my evening changes with a day’s notice.”
“I am self-employed, so people assume I set my hours freely.”
“Family events are always in the evening block.”

Where Freeish fits

The morning and evening blocks go in separately, so the gap reads as unavailable.

When a client moves, change one event and everyone at home sees it.

Early nights before a five o’clock start can be visible rather than explained.

If you set your own hours, this is the only place anyone else can see them.

One week, start to finish

Cal, personal trainer

Cal puts the morning and evening blocks in as separate events.
His partner stops treating the middle of the day as free.
A client moves from Tuesday to Thursday and it is one edit.
The early nights before six o’clock starts are on the calendar.
They find a Wednesday lunch that works every week.

Questions personal trainers and gym staff ask

I am self-employed. Is this useful?

Arguably more so. Nobody assigns your hours, so unless you write them down your family have nothing to go on — and "flexible" gets read as "free".

How do I show the midday gap?

By putting the two blocks in separately. The gap between them then reads as what it is rather than as an afternoon off.

Do clients see anything?

No. Freeish has no connection to any booking system and no directory.
