Add a class
How to add a group class, event, or recurring session to your Arketa schedule.
You can add a class from your Full Schedule in just a few steps. If you're creating a class type you'll teach regularly, consider creating a service type template first — it speeds up scheduling significantly.
Add a class
Open your schedule
Go to Classes → Full Schedule and click Add New.
Fill in basic information
- Name — what clients will see when booking
- Description — optional, but helpful for marketing and email confirmations
- Location — choose In Person (enter address or region) or Virtual (Zoom integration or custom link)
- Visibility — Public (appears on your schedule) or Private (accessible only by direct link)
Set the schedule
- Date — start today or choose a future date
- Frequency — one specific date, or weekly (with optional end date)
- Days of the week — for recurring classes
- Start time and duration (in minutes)
- Instructor — you can assign multiple instructors to a single class
- Room — if your location has rooms configured
- Capacity — max number of clients who can book
We recommend creating a separate recurring class series for each day and time, even if two sessions have the same time slot. This makes mass editing (changing times, swapping instructors) much faster later on.
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Free | No payment required — clients book without a card |
| Sliding scale | Donation-based classes with a minimum and suggested price |
| Paid | Drop-in price on the class itself, great for events |
| Package & subscription only | Requires a credit from a package or membership — recommended for most regular classes |
For most studios, Package & subscription only is the right choice for regular classes. It enforces your credit policy and prevents refund requests.
