Tips for better class engagement

I’ve noticed that some members are hesitant to sign up for classes, even if they’re interested… At the front desk, I often try to encourage them by highlighting classes that suit their fitness levels. What strategies have you found effective in getting more members to join group sessions?

It might help to share success stories from existing members in your classes — you know, like those before-and-after photos that inspire folks, but without the dramatic music! Maybe even consider a trial class where everyone can give it a shot risk-free. Have you seen any specific classes get more interest than others?

Sometimes offering a free trial class can ease members into the idea without the pressure. It’s like letting them dip a toe in the water before they cannonball in! Have you thought about setting up a fun challenge for the trial classes?
