Sell the block, not the session
Charging session by session means renegotiating every week and carrying the client who cancels on the day. Sell ten sessions up front, draw one down per booking and let standing clients pay monthly without you asking.
Package balances tracked automatically.
One card rate of 2.5% plus 35p, with the platform fee inside it.
Set up in 2 minutes. No credit card required.
Progress is the reason they stay
Clients leave when they stop seeing progress, not when they get bored. Keep the programme, the numbers and the milestones on one record so the client can see the twelve weeks behind them, not just today.
Unlimited clients on every plan.
Unlimited customer records on every plan, yours to export at any time.

Running a personal trainers business
A personal trainer has perhaps four hours a day that anybody wants to buy, and a client relationship measured in months rather than years. Both of those numbers can be moved, hardly anybody tries to move either, and that is why the trade is full of people who are exhausted and not especially well paid.
The peak is the business and the middle of the day is the problem
Clients want six until eight in the morning and five until eight at night. That is the market, it is the same market for every trainer on the same gym floor, and no amount of effort widens it.
So the middle of the day has to be sold differently or written off. Semi private pairs, online programming with a monthly check in, retired clients and shift workers all live between ten and three, and between them they are the difference between a full week and a long one.
Where a trainer's hours actually go
- Programme writing done at eleven at night and charged to nobody
- A free consultation given to somebody who was never going to buy
- Fifteen minutes of chat after every session, which is several unpaid hours a month
- A six in the morning cancellation heard at five to six, having already driven in
- A block of ten sold with no expiry and used at one session a month
- A gym floor fee owed whether or not a client turned up
What actually happens to a new client
| Where they are | What is going on | What decides whether they stay |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks one to three | Motivated, aching, telling everybody about it | Sessions that are achievable rather than impressive |
| Weeks four to eight | Novelty gone, results not yet visible | Showing one number that has moved, however small |
| Weeks nine to twelve | First real results, and the block running out | Whether the next block was raised before this one ended |
| Months four to six | It is a habit now, or it is finished | Changing the programme before they tire of it |
| Past the first year | Worth several new clients and referring more | Being noticed. Old clients leave when they feel assumed |
Most cancellations in this trade happen in weeks four to eight, and most trainers spend that window looking for new clients instead of watching it.
The block that ends is the client that ends
A block finishing is a decision point you handed the client, and they will make it in the car park with their partner rather than in front of you. The renewal belongs at session eight, while the results are fresh and the habit is intact.
A monthly recurring payment removes the decision point altogether. Training becomes a standing cost they stop examining, which is precisely what a gym membership is and precisely why gyms are more profitable than the trainers working in them.
What a well run PT business does
- Sells recurring monthly training to standing clients and blocks to everyone else
- Puts an expiry on a block so it is used at the frequency it was priced for
- Raises the renewal two sessions before the block runs out
- Records measurements and lifts from day one and shows the client the trend
- Keeps injuries, medications and limitations on the client record
- Applies one cancellation policy to everybody, friends included
- Fills the middle of the day with semi private and online work
- Contacts any client who has not booked for a fortnight, before it becomes a month
Retention is cheaper than anything else available to you
Replacing a client costs advertising, a free consultation, a trial session and several weeks before they are worth anything. Keeping one costs a message asking how the week went.
The trainers with waiting lists are rarely the best coaches in the building. They are the ones whose clients stayed three years, because three years of one client produces the referrals that fill a diary without a pound spent on advertising.
