Put Multiple Members on Hold at Once
Use this when you want to pause member access and stop billing at the same time. Common scenarios include:
- You’re relocating your facility
- You’re closing for renovations or improvements
- You’re closing over a holiday period
Prerequisite - You’ll need to have the advanced configuration option Mass Holds Too" enabled
How to Apply Mass Hold
Once the tool is enabled, go to Settings > Club Details > Select the club (if needed) > Mass Hold
Then follow these steps:
- Click + Add Mass Hold
- Select your members
- Choose which memberships to put on hold (all are selected by default)
- Set hold dates and options
- Choose the start and end dates
- Decide how Prorata and bookings should be handled
- Confirm the details
- Make sure everything looks right
Once submitted, the system will apply the hold to all selected members. If it’s a large group, this might take a bit of time, but it will all run in the background.
Extend Hold or End it Early
If circumstances change, and you need the hold to go a bit longer, or end a little earlier, that’s no trouble.
You can edit an existing mass hold by:
- Clicking View next to the hold in your list
- At the top of the page, adjust your hold settings in the Hold Settings section
- Click Update Holds to save your changes
Note
In some cases, GymMaster might not be able to apply a hold to every member.
If any members couldn’t be put on hold:
- You’ll see a number in the Failures column of the Mass Holds list
- Click View on the hold
- Scroll to the bottom to see a list of Fail Reasons
These members should be reviewed individually. You’ll need to decide what action to take for each one on a case-by-case basis.
For recurring memberships, the value can be adjusted, so members aren’t charged for time they can’t use. See the article on Membership Prorata for more details.
