Weight Loss Challenge Client Options

A couple weeks ago I wrote a blog post giving you the 4 Secrets to Successful Weight Loss Challenges. I received a great question after that blog post and want to address it!

What are the different ways that participants can sign up for your Weight Loss Challenge and how much do you charge your clients to sign up?

Flying Solo:

I know what I need to do. Just give me my finisher’s gift, weigh me in and I’m good to go. The competition is all I need to keep me going.
Cost: $49

Jump-Start:

In addition to the finisher’s gift, can you please provide me with a NWPT Results Manual and take my pre/post girth and body fat measurements (2-30 minute appointments).
Cost: $99

Flash Sale Success

Hey Fit Pros! We just ran a 1 day “Spring Break” flash sale for our 10 class punch cards for our group training classes.

We were looking for a way to boost sales and increase interest in our group training classes.

So here is what I did:

  • Created the flier below
  • Scheduled a couple social media posts
  • Scheduled a couple eNewsletters to promote the flash sale
  • Emailed our team announcing the flash sale, gave them the flier, asked them to promote to their clients and to share our social media posts
  • Posted the flier around our studio

Host Events: Get & Keep More Clients

We always have lots of fun events, adventures and clinics for our clients to sign up for. Some of them are free clinics and some are events and adventures that our clients pay for. All of these events keep our clients active, happy and engaged in our business. They also bring in new clients and potential new clients and extra revenue! Hosting fun events and adventures is a win/win for everyone!

We encourage and remind our trainers to share these events and adventures with their clients and we want to make it easy for them to do so. All of our events are listed both on our website and on our Facebook page. Having the events listed on our Facebook page makes it easy for our trainers to share the events with friends and share in their status updates.
