An 8-pack client who already lives on today's route
When the paid eight-pack is two streets from the last door, the single session across town is the one to pass.
A gym trainer's next client walks down the hall. A mobile trainer's next client is a routing problem with a package attached. Session six of an eight-pack, two miles from the driveway you are already in, is worth more than a new single session that adds thirty-five minutes of driving and a building you have never entered.
Ember asks which pack the hour belongs to before she talks about the clock. An eight-pack that is paid and in the neighborhood keeps the morning intact. A twelve-pack client who moved to the far side of the county may still be yours, but the drive has to come out of the day on the sheet, not out of the session after it. A single session for someone who wants to "try training at home" is a real booking only if the gap is short enough that the paid clients still get their hours.
One company gets the request. If you are the trainer already on that side of town, it is offered to you. If the single session sits outside the radius you set, you pass, and the next nearest paid company sees it. It is not dropped into a group text of every trainer with a trunk.
The street address shows after the claim. Until then, the ticket carries the neighborhood, the pack, and the minutes between doors, which is enough to know whether the hour fits.
The single session across the river can wait. The eight-pack on this street is the one that keeps the morning intact.
