Fill your nutrition classes without chasing RSVPs or juggling spreadsheets. Doodle Sign-up Sheets caps seats, sends reminders, and helps you run sessions that sell.

If you are a Nutritionist, group classes can boost revenue, reduce no-shows, and build your brand. Yet planning topics, collecting sign-ups, and managing calendars can take more time than the class itself. One email goes out, then ten reply-alls, and the list gets messy fast.

This guide shows you how to plan sell-out nutrition classes and set them up in minutes. You will get proven topics that clients pay for, simple pricing ideas, and a step-by-step plan to use Doodle Sign-up Sheets for seat limits, reminders, and privacy. You will also see how Group Polls picks the right time, and how Booking Page and 1:1 help you convert class interest into paid consults with Stripe.

The challenge facing nutritionist professionals

You wear many hats. You coach clients, handle follow-ups, and do admin. Adding group sessions should not add chaos.

Common roadblocks include:

  • Picking times that match work shifts, school schedules, and clinic blocks

  • Tracking RSVPs and seat limits in spreadsheets

  • Handling reminders, links, and last-minute questions

  • Protecting participant privacy in a healthcare setting

  • Turning class leads into clients without extra data entry

You need a simple way to set dates, cap seats, and send confirmations that drop right onto each person’s calendar.

Why this matters for nutritionists

Group classes can change your week and your income:

  • More reach in less time. Teach 20 people in 60 minutes, then book 1:1 follow-ups.

  • Lower barrier to entry. Clients who are not ready for a full consult will try a low-cost class.

  • Better outcomes. People learn, engage, and come back for more support.

  • Smarter calendar management. Block class time once, fill it fast, and protect your clinic hours.

With Doodle Sign-up Sheets, you create time slots, set seat limits, and invite up to 1000 people without back-and-forth emails. Everyone picks their spot, gets reminders, and shows up ready to learn.

Set up Sign-up Sheets for full classes

Doodle Sign-up Sheets helps you plan, collect sign-ups, and cap seats without extra tools.

Build your sheet

  • Create your event title and short promise. Example: Meal prep in 60 minutes: plan five weeknight dinners and a budget-friendly list.

  • Add time slots on the days you want to teach—two or three options for different schedules.

  • Set seat limits per session to avoid overbooking (15–25 seats works best).

Keep privacy and trust

  • Turn on Hide participant details in Doodle Pro for healthcare topics.

  • Add a short consent note: This class is for education, not individual medical advice.

  • Add your logo and colors with custom branding for a professional look.

Confirmations and reminders that stick

  • Connect Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar so only your real availability shows.

  • Set automatic reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the class.

  • Add your video link (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex) directly in Doodle.

Make recurring sessions easy

  • Add multiple dates in one Sign-up Sheet—ideal for a monthly series.

  • Set a sign-up deadline (e.g., close 1 day before).

  • Use unlimited sessions in Doodle Pro for recurring events.

Invite at scale

  • Email invites directly from Doodle to up to 1000 people.

  • Share your link on Instagram, Facebook, or your website.

  • Use Zapier to sync sign-ups to your email platform for follow-ups.

Tip: Use Doodle AI descriptions to auto-draft a polished class summary, then tweak it to match your tone.

Choose the right time with Group Polls

If you’re unsure when people can attend, poll them first.

Step

Action

Result

1

Create a Group Poll with 2–4 time slots

Collect availability fast

2

Connect your calendar

Avoid conflicts with clinic hours

3

Share the poll

Use your mailing list or social media

4

Choose the top-voted time

Build your Sign-up Sheet for that slot

Example: You run a PCOS class and poll Tuesday at 6 p.m. vs Saturday at 10 a.m. Saturday wins. You post the Sign-up Sheet for Saturdays in March and April and fill all seats in days.

Convert class interest into paid consults

Classes build trust—and interest in deeper care. Use Doodle Booking Page and 1:1 to make private follow-ups easy.

  • Create a Booking Page for new client consults.

  • Turn on Stripe to collect payment at booking—no invoices.

  • Share your link at the end of class or in a follow-up email.

  • Offer a 48-hour discount for attendees to drive sign-ups.

  • Use Doodle 1:1 to send curated times for limited follow-up spots.

Pro tip: Add a QR code on your final slide linking to your Booking Page so people can book before leaving.

Pricing, promotion, and show-up tactics

You already teach well—now make sure people sign up and show up.

Smart pricing

  • Offer early bird pricing for the first 10 seats.

  • Bundle class + 30-min 1:1 at a discount.

  • For corporate sessions, use a flat fee and private Sign-up Sheet.

Promotion ideas

  • Email your list with a clear outcome: In 60 minutes, you’ll leave with a 7-day plan and grocery list.

  • Partner with a local gym, clinic, or running store to share your Sign-up Sheet link.

  • Post a 30-second tip video with your link on Instagram or TikTok.

  • Offer a “bring-a-friend” code ($5 off) for family or group classes.

Reduce no-shows

  • Use automatic Doodle reminders + calendar invites.

  • Send a prep email the day before with handouts and a short checklist.

  • Start on time and end with one clear next step + your Booking Page link.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Topics that are too broad—narrow your promise.

  • Overloading slides—focus on three key lessons and one worksheet.

  • Skipping outcomes—state what attendees will achieve.

  • No follow-up plan—always include your Booking Page.

  • Ignoring privacy—hide participant names and details.

  • Manual sign-ups—skip spreadsheets and reply-all chaos.
