Key takeaways
- Session value comes from the price actually paid.
- Only attended sessions draw down a package.
- Sessions remaining is a real liability figure.
- Trainer pay and revenue share one record.
A training studio takes money in large lumps and delivers it in small ones. A twenty session package paid in July is cash in the account and a liability on the floor, and the two look identical in a bank balance. Studios that treat the deposit as revenue are perpetually surprised by a quiet month, because the quiet month is when they are working off sessions that were paid for months ago. TrainDesk US separates what was sold from what has been delivered.
A session is worth what the package divided by
Each package sale records the price actually paid and the sessions purchased, which fixes the value of every session in it.
A discounted twenty pack and a full-price five pack then produce genuinely comparable per-session figures, which is what pricing decisions need.
Only attendance draws down the package
A session marked Attended consumes one from the package. A late cancel or a no show is recorded but does not.
Whether to charge for a late cancel is a policy decision, and keeping it explicit means the policy is applied rather than remembered.
Sessions you still owe
Sessions remaining and a plain Active, Used up or Expired label follow from what has been delivered against what was bought.
This is the figure a studio owner most needs and most rarely has: how much coaching has been paid for and not yet given.
Trainer pay from the same record
A per-session trainer earns a flat rate for each delivered session; a commission trainer earns a share of the session value.
Because pay and revenue come from one record, the margin per session is visible immediately and a disputed session is settled once.
