Hey, anyone else struggling with getting into reformer classes at their local spot? Last week I tried booking my usual evening session after a long day at work, only to find it fully packed again – ended up on the waitlist for the third time this month. It's great that places are buzzing, but I'm curious how studios typically manage equipment reservations and those endless waitlists when things get super busy. Do most let you pick specific reformers ahead, or is it first-come with auto-fills on cancellations? Would love some real experiences here.

Totally get the frustration – my studio used to be a nightmare with manual sign-ups until they switched over. Now clients can hop online anytime to reserve their favorite reformer or spot, and the system handles waitlists by bumping people up automatically if someone drops out. It even sends notifications right away so no one misses out. I've noticed it keeps classes fuller without all the chaos. Something like good pilates studio scheduling software makes a huge difference in smoothing that out, from what I've seen friends deal with at other places. Cuts down on no-shows too with reminders built in. Anyway, it's been a game changer for staying consistent without the stress.
