Unlock the Power of Personal Training with fitbox’s New “BUY” Feature

Looking to add personal training classes to your gym’s schedule and make it seamless for members to book and pay on the spot? fitbox’s latest feature makes it easier than ever to manage personal training (PT) classes and streamline payments using the new “BUY” option. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set it up and improve your members’ experience.

Step 1: Create a “PT” Group

Start by organising your members with groups. Navigate to Administration and create a new group called “PT.” This group will help you link your members to the specific personal training class later on.

Step 2: Set Up a Personal Training Class

Next, head over to Coaching -> Classes and add a new class. Name it “Personal Training Class.” Be sure to:

1. Enable the “Allow Buy” option so members can purchase directly through the app.
2. Set an attendance limit (e.g., 1 for one-on-one sessions or more if it’s a small group PT class).
3. Add the “PT” group you created to link it with the class.
4. Add the class schedule to your calendar so members can see available times.

Step 3: Create a Personal Training Membership

Now it’s time to create a membership or product for your personal training sessions. Go to Finance -> Products and add a new product called “Personal Training.” Configure the following settings:

1. Enable “Allow existing members to purchase this product.”
2. Set your pricing for both the initial and any subsequent payments (set subsequent payments to “every 1 day”).
3. Limit the membership to 1 payment with the billing lifetime feature. This will make the membership expire after one session, perfect for single-class purchases.
4. Include 1 session in the membership and link it to the “PT” group.

With these settings, only members who have purchased the personal training membership can book the PT class.

Step 4: Make It Easy for Members to Book & Buy

Once set up, your members can easily see the new Personal Training Class in the app and purchase the membership directly. They can even filter classes in their app to remove it from their normal view if they don’t want to see it every time.

Bonus: More Flexibility with “Allow Buy”

If you enable the “Allow Buy” option for other group classes, members can also purchase and book those classes instantly, even if they don’t currently have a membership. fitbox automatically shows the relevant memberships for them to buy based on the class.

By following these steps, you’ll make it easy for your gym members to purchase and book personal training classes in just a few clicks, helping you boost attendance and streamline operations!
