Class Trials

Class trials are your gym’s secret weapon for attracting new clients. By inviting newcomers to join a session for a low price—usually around €10 —you lower the barrier to entry, showcase your community , and turn more leads into loyal members.

Why Paid Trials Outperform Free Trials

Free trials sound attractive, but paid trials deliver better results. Charging even a small fee shows your service is valuable , filters for genuinely interested prospects , and dramatically reduces no-shows . Clients who pay are far more likely to attend and convert.
