You’ve worked hard to turn your passion into a profitable profession and now, you’re ready to take things to the next level. You’ve built a website that shares your vision, your methods and you have the social proof to back it up, but it’s not working out as the revenue generating machine that you hoped? Marketing and sales may not be your favorite topic, but it doesn’t have to be a barrier hindering your fitness business success. What’s next?
You need to give your website visitors the option to take the action they want to take, when they want to take it. Providing a phone number or email address simply isn’t enough. Your clients expect more.
We Live in an Era of Self Serve and “i Want It Now”.
When a visitor clicks “Book Now” on your website, they expect an instant booking option, not to be directed to a phone number, email address or “contact us” form. By giving prospects the option to buy exactly in the moment when they’re ready to do so, you’re guaranteed to capture a segment of users who otherwise, would have been lost.
Let’s start by taking a look at the current user experience on your website. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- How difficult is it for your new website visitors to find and purchase a trial membership?
- Could a new website visitor easily find and view your class schedule?
If these processes aren’t seamless, your future clients may become lost leads.

How Can I Use It to Drive Revenue to My Fitness Business?
Your website can become your number one source of quality clients, if you give visitors exactly what they need to act in real time. Not to mention, when you let your members self serve, you have more time to focus on growing your business.
1. On Your Website
Make Website Browsing a Breeze
We all know how frustrating it is when you can’t find what you’re looking for, where you’d expect it to be. If your clients have to bounce from page to page to view your schedule, book a class or purchase a membership, it’s likely that they’ll get lost, angry and give up in the process.
Unlike other website integrations, Glofox gives you the option to create custom links, so you can add booking options and membership purchase options where it makes sense for your website and your business.
Schedule View & Instant Booking
So a client is scrolling through your calendar and they see a class or appointment they would like to book. Can they book there and then or must they navigate to another page to do so? When you make it easy for your members, they do it. Simple as!
Sell Memberships and Courses
