What is the difference between Active, Alumni and Removed Status
Overview
Client statuses in CORE help you manage access, engagement, and visibility for different types of members. Whether someone is currently training, taking a break, or no longer affiliated with your studio, these statuses make it easy to stay organized.

Prerequisites
Before you begin:
- Know which clients you want to categorize or restrict access for
- Make sure you understand how each status affects app login and booking access
Status types explained
Active
- The client may or may not have a membership or package
- They can log in to your app or website
- They can view schedules and purchase new memberships or packages
- This is the default status for currently engaged members
✅ Use this for clients who should still have full access, even if they're between purchases



Alumni
- The client has previously had a membership or package, but is no longer active
- They cannot log in to your app or access your schedule
- They can still receive communications and be re-engaged
- Alumni can be reactivated easily at any time
Tip: Alumni is great for former members who might return or for temporarily disabling access (e.g., due to repeated no-shows or failed payments)

Removed
- The client is fully removed from your active ecosystem
- They cannot access the app, website, or be scheduled
- This status is typically for clients who will not return
⚠️ Clients in this status are still saved in the system but will be excluded from all engagement and visibility internally

When to use each status
| Scenario | Use This Status |
|---|---|
| Client is actively training or can purchase | Active |
| Client has finished but may return later | Alumni |
| Client should not access or engage anymore | Removed |
| Client missed sessions or has delinquent account | Alumni (temporarily restrict) |
Expected outcome
Once set, a client’s status will determine what they can see and do within your app and system. It also helps your team identify which clients to engage, re-engage, or ignore.
FAQs
Q: Can I move a client back from Removed to Active?
A: Technically yes, but it’s best practice to use Alumni if there’s even a slight chance they’ll return.
Q: Can Alumni receive emails or offers?
A: Yes — they stay in your CRM and can be targeted in campaigns.
Q: What happens to bookings if I change someone to Alumni?
A: They’ll no longer be able to book sessions or access the app. Existing bookings will need to be reviewed or removed.
