Product Update: Here’s How You Can Offer Free Trials To Your Personal Training Clients

Consider this scenario: You want to buy a dress for yourself. You walk into a clothing store and begin browsing the options. Do you purchase the first thing that grabs your attention? No, right? You try on different outfits until you find the one that best suits your style and needs.

Your clients follow the same consumer psychology.

You have a flourishing fitness business with a variety of fitness programs. But your clients will have their doubts, just like you had at the clothing store. They also want to "try out" before purchasing a fitness plan. So, why not help them with that?
