How many clients does your week actually hold?

Work out your real coaching capacity, the utilisation you are running at, what the spare hours are worth, and what an hour of your time earns once the unbilled work around each session is counted.

Everything below is calculated in your browser. Nothing is sent to GymRally, and nothing is stored.

The hours you can genuinely coach — not the hours in the week. Leave out the ones nobody wants and the ones you need for everything else.

The billed length of a typical session.

What is actually in the diary in a normal week, not your best one.

Your blended rate across packages and one-offs, after any discounts you actually give.

Programming, check-ins, messages, notes and travel attached to each session. Ten to twenty minutes is common and rarely accounted for.

After holiday, illness and the quiet weeks. Fifty-two is not the answer.

Utilisation

72%

You have real headroom. Filling the spare sessions is the cheapest revenue available to you, because the hours are already set aside.

The arithmetic

How the numbers are worked out

Capacity is your coachable hours converted into whole sessions — half a session is not bookable, so the figure rounds down. Utilisation is booked sessions divided by that capacity.

Revenue multiplies booked sessions by your average price, then by the weeks you actually work, and divides by twelve for a monthly figure. That is deliberately not the same as multiplying a good week by 52: the weeks you are ill, away or quiet are the difference between a forecast and a fantasy.

The true hourly rate adds the unbilled minutes attached to each session — programming, check-ins, messages, notes, travel — to the billed length before dividing. It is usually the number that changes how a trainer prices.

These are coaching revenue figures, before your costs and before tax. Insurance, gym rent or a percentage to the facility, equipment, software, qualifications and pension all come out of them.

How to read the utilisation figure

  • Above 85%: effectively full. The next increase comes from your rate or from adding capacity, and you have no room to absorb a busy month.
  • 60–85%: healthy, with headroom. Filling those hours is the cheapest revenue available, because you are already holding them open.
  • Below 60%: a sales and retention problem. Adding a second coach here divides the same work rather than growing it.

More on pricing, capacity and the rest of the operating side is in the PT business field guide.

These numbers, from your actual diary

GymRally works out utilisation, revenue and capacity from the sessions and packages already in your business — instead of from your best guess on a Sunday night.
