A standing slot is a regular time that's yours. It's kept for you, time after time. That's what makes it worth having, and it's also why there can't be many.

Three patterns
These aren't packages someone designed. They're the three patterns that show up in what clients have written, named the way they described them.
It starts when the training does and it ends when the race does. People training towards something tend to come every week or two through the build-up, and race week is the one everybody wants.
I've been seeing Jonathan for a couple of weeks in the build up to a massive event. He is definitely an expert in his field and has worked out some of the restrictions due to muscle tightness and has definitely got me race ready.
A season puts the same strain on the same muscles every week, so people who play tend to come just as regularly. It’s the pattern people stick with longest.
I play lots of rugby at an high level and often see him once a week and he never fails to do the job.
Nothing is wrong, and the point is to keep it that way. This one has no season and no event date: just the same slot, month after month, with no end in sight.
I got to Jonathan around once a week and he’s a really nice guy. Sorta out all my problems and gives me advice on what I need to do to help my body.
£115 or £225 a monthOne hour a month for £115, or two a month for £225 (£112.50 a session), at a time held for you, with no end date. A single session is £125.
The time is held. The same slot, in the diary, rather than a decision to make every few weeks.
A short progress note every month: what has been worked on, how it is going, and what is next.
Paid monthly, in advance, with no end date. Stop whenever you like, and nothing is taken after the month already paid for.
If one of the three sounds like you, say which. There's no sign-up and no form, and there are only so many to go round.
There's no sign-up. You get a standing slot when a time is free and it suits you both, so it starts with a conversation, usually at the end of a session, or on the free intro call if you're new.
Come in once first. Neither of you should commit to a regular time before you've worked together.
Tell him what your week really looks like. The pattern that sticks is the one that fits the week you actually have, not the one you'd like to have.
Take the time when it comes free. Slots open up when someone's season ends or their race is over, so sometimes the answer is not this month, and Jonathan will tell you.
Ask him at the end of a session, or on the free intro call if you're new.
Not sure which of the three is yours, or whether there is room?
