If something goes wrong

I can't edit or remove the owner
The account marked Primary created the center and can't be edited or removed. To hand it over, transfer ownership.
I need to change someone's email
Email is read-only. Remove them and invite them again with the new address.

Common questions

Reassign their members and upcoming sessions to another trainer first, so nothing is left unassigned.
