Class Reminder WhatsApp Template for Gyms & Fitness Studios
A ready-to-adapt WhatsApp message for gyms, fitness studios and yoga centres, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send before a booked class. For gyms, fitness studios and yoga centres, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps members informed without a phone call. Most businesses send it automatically from their software, so the timing is consistent.
Keeping members motivated and renewing on time depends on regular, personal communication rather than one-time offers.
The WhatsApp Template
Hi {{1}}, reminder: your {{2}} class at [Business Name] is today at {{3}} with {{4}}.
Thank you.[Business Name]
Example with sample values
Hi Karan, reminder: your HIIT class at [Business Name] is today at 6:30 PM with Coach Aman. Thank you.
Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.
Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {{1}} | Member | Karan |
| {{2}} | Class name | HIIT |
| {{3}} | Time | 6:30 PM |
| {{4}} | Trainer | Coach Aman |
Filling in each placeholder
- Member (sample: Karan): Use the first name or the salutation the customer gave you; fall back to a neutral greeting if the field is empty.
- Class name (sample: HIIT): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Time (sample: 6:30 PM): Give times with AM/PM or a clear range, and the time zone if the customer may be in another country.
- Trainer (sample: Coach Aman): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
This template has 4 placeholders and a body of 100 characters before values are filled in. WhatsApp allows up to 1,024 characters in a template body, but short messages with one clear action get the best response.
Category and Approval
Utility templates must relate to a specific transaction, account or request the customer already has with you, such as a confirmation, reminder or status update. Do not add offers or promotional lines, as Meta may reclassify the template as marketing.
Compliance Checklist
- Variables are numbered in order and you provide sample values when submitting; avoid starting or ending the body with a variable.
- Links point to your own website or a trusted domain, and button labels are short and clear.
- Marketing messages include an easy way to opt out, and opt-outs are honoured promptly.
Rules to keep in mind for Gyms & Fitness Studios
Fitness ads should avoid unrealistic transformation claims and before/after images that could mislead, in line with ASCI guidelines. Health information shared by members, such as injuries or conditions, should be kept confidential.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our WhatsApp compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Use the customer's name and a reference number so the message is easy to trust and to search for later.
- Send it as close as possible to the event it relates to, such as right after booking or the day before an appointment.

Questions About This Template
When should a gym send the class reminder message?
Send before a booked class. Sending it at a consistent time builds trust and reduces follow-up calls.
Do WhatsApp templates need approval?
Yes. Business-initiated messages outside the 24-hour customer service window must use a template approved by Meta. Approval is usually quick, but templates can be rejected or re-categorised if they break the guidelines.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. Adapt the text to your business, but keep it clear and specific, keep variables in order and submit realistic sample values. Any change to an approved template needs re-approval.
Can DND Teams set this up for my gym?
Yes. We adapt the template to your business, register or submit it, and connect it to your software or our panel. Share your use case on WhatsApp or through the form.
