Hi Kelly, like every one said before its highly community specific plus all the other stuff that Alex mentioned and planning an overbooking by 2x is a safe guess to start if you offer flexible memberships. Here is how we figured out the capacity of our space, its very much as Jacob states, we tested our limits. Everytime we felt like it gets to crowded we checked on cobot how many people were in today, so we got a tangible number. That allowed us to anticipate how crowded it will feel on certain days. Our busy days are mostly Wednesdays and days around tech conferences in town. That allowed us to communicate better to part time members what to expect when coming in at certain days. As we track attendance over time we could also see how the frequency and intensity of crowded days increased so we knew it was time to expand the space. A great way to accommodate busy days from time to time is community space that can be uses as overflow capacity like couches and lunch tables.
