A cleaner pause workflow
An informal pause message omits dates and account details. A structured request captures what staff needs for review.
Start and return fields give staff dates to compare with billing cycles, notice periods, and freeze windows.
Conditional sections show travel dates, dependent names, or uploads only when relevant.
Location, plan, and response tags keep each request in the right review queue.
Fit the way you manage members
Choose a use case, then add your dates, reasons, policy, and routing labels.
Capture account, home club, billing date, pause window, and acknowledgment.
Route by studio or plan and show reason-specific follow-ups.
Let the primary member select the household members affected.
Offer preset pause lengths and record the member's return date.
Build the request flow
Describe the rules, review the fields, and publish a link for structured requests.
Name your plans, freeze lengths, notice period, reasons, files, and reviewers.
Check identity, date logic, conditions, and your wording for billing and reactivation.
Share the link in your portal, help center, emails, or front-desk QR code.
Send submissions to the membership team, then follow up with the member.
Form vs inbox vs paper
A consistent form gives every reviewer the same details and preserves the return date.
