2. **Choose Set inactive.** The member is now inactive in your club. Their plans, payments, attendance and progress stay exactly as they were.

3. **Switch back any time.** Click the status again and choose Set active. Booking a class or getting a plan also makes an inactive member active again.

## Good to know

- Inactive members can still sign in, see the schedule and book classes.
- Filter the Members list by Inactive to see everyone who has stopped training.
- To do this automatically after a period you choose, turn on Automatically mark inactive in Settings › Student Access.
