The free class trap
Free single classes attract deal-seekers who rarely return. A paid, time-boxed intro offer, such as two or three weeks of unlimited classes, attracts people who are actually ready to build a habit.
Design the intro around a habit window
Members stick when attending becomes routine. An intro period long enough for multiple visits per week gives new clients time to feel results and bond with instructors.
Automate the conversion moment
The most important message is the one sent before the intro ends.
- A welcome sequence that sets expectations and books the first class
- A check-in after the second visit from a real instructor
- A membership offer delivered a few days before the trial expires
