Above Avg
March was the peak. April held steady. May just started. March hit 34% — the best month yet. April landed at 25.6% across 39 trials — a step back from March but better than the original read. May 2026 has only 3 days of data (11 trials, 0 sign-ups so far) — too early to judge. Check back in two weeks. Focus now: close the April warm leads and follow up on the 5 new HIGH priority May leads immediately.

Watch the low-close weeks. Jan 5 (12.5%), Jan 26 (11.1%), Feb 16 (16.7%), Apr 13 (14.3%), and Apr 27 (8.3%) all had decent trial volume but low conversion. Apr 27 is especially worth noting — 12 people showed up, only 1 signed up. That is a follow-up problem, not a traffic problem. People showed up but nobody closed them.

Afternoon is your closer. 12 PM (35.5%) and 6:30 PM (30.0%) are the top performers. 5:30 PM still brings the most bodies (49 trials) but closes at only 22.4% — that's where you need a harder post-class push. 11 AM is consistent at 26.7% with solid volume. Put your best closer on the 6:30 PM slot.

Monday (34.5%) and Thursday (33.3%) close best
Friday is your softest day. 28 trials, only 6 sign-ups (21.4%) — the lowest close rate all week. Saturday volume keeps climbing (51 trials) but closes at only 25.5% — lots of traffic, room to close harder. Thursday (33.3%) and Monday (34.5%) lead the week — those are your best converting days. Stack afternoon slots on Thu/Mon and your overall rate goes up without adding a single new lead.

Class Popularity
All-time data — Jan 2 to May 3, 2026 · Muay Thai vs BJJ trial and conversion breakdown
Trial Volume by Class
Muay Thai dominates at 89% of active trials (181 of 203)
Conversion Rate by Class
BJJ converts at less than half the Muay Thai rate
BJJ is still underperforming. 18 BJJ trials, only 3 sign-ups (16.7%). Muay Thai closes at 28.7%. BJJ converts at nearly half the Muay Thai rate — the trial experience needs a dedicated coach and a structured post-class pitch. BJJ showed slight improvement (11.8% to 16.7%) but still needs work.

Instagram is still broken. 5 trials, 0 sign-ups — across 5 months. Walk-ins close at 66.7%, Google closes at 32.1%. People who walk through the door already want to be there. Instagram audience isn't ready to commit yet. Don't pour more time into IG content until you test a clearer "book a free trial" CTA.

3.2 point gap. Athletes with prior gym experience convert at a slightly higher rate. Still well below the industry norm of 10+ points. Beginners are close behind.
The gap is narrowing — now only 3.2 points. Athletes with prior gym experience convert at 28.2% vs. 25.0% for beginners. Most gyms see 10+ points. Your coaching closes the gap well — beginners feel comfortable fast. The bigger story: 140 of your 212 trials had zero gym background. That's a massive beginner funnel. Keep coaches spending time on first-timers — that's where most of your volume is.

Too Early
Google is your most consistent closer. Jan 30% → Feb 32% → Mar 39% → Apr 35%. Referrals drop to 8% in April — the promo is not moving the needle when traffic slows down. Walk-ins close at 60-100% every month they appear — those people already decided before they walked in. May is too early to read. Double down on Google and get more walk-ins through the door.

Fix: Send a reminder text the morning of every trial booking. Use Zen Planner's automation to trigger a "See you today!" message 2 hours before class. No-show rate of 4.2% across 212 bookings is manageable — but at 26.4% conversion, those 9 no-shows likely cost 2-3 members and $2,000+ in 6-month recurring revenue.

Notes
Start with the 35 HIGH priority leads in Zen Planner today. 4 of them trialed this week (Rica Uy, Benny Liu, Johan Delao, Lies DeFeyter) — they are HOT right now. Use this message: "Hey [Name], great having you at Hinds! Ready to lock in your spot? We have a 5-class pass for $150 — perfect way to get started. Reply here or sign up online." Short. Personal. Direct.

Growth Recommendations
6 actions based on April close-out data — close more, market harder, automate the rest
Action #1 — Do This Today
Message the 35 HIGH Priority Leads Now
4 people trialed THIS WEEK and said they're signing up: Rica Uy, Benny Liu, Johan Delao, Lies DeFeyter. Text them within 24 hours.
For all 35 HIGH leads use: "Hey [Name], great having you at Hinds! Ready to lock in your spot? We have a 5-class pass for $150 — perfect way to start. Reply or sign up online."
Set a 7-day follow-up reminder in Zen Planner for non-responders.
156 warm leads. Even 20% close rate = 31 new members = $31K+ in 6-month revenue.
Action #2 — May Marketing Push
Launch a "Summer Strong" Campaign for May & June
People start gym shopping in May before summer — you have a 6-week window right now.
Run a Google Ad campaign targeting "Muay Thai LIC" and "martial arts Long Island City" — your Google trials already close at 32%. Paid clicks will compound that.
Post 3x/week on Instagram: 1 class clip Reel, 1 member story, 1 "book your free trial" post. No posts = no new eyeballs.
Add a banner to your Google Business profile: "Free Trial Class — No Experience Needed." Update your photos with recent class shots.
Google is your #1 closer at 32.1%. More visibility = more trials = more revenue.
Action #3 — Saturday Conversion Fix
Saturday Has 51 Trials and Only 25.5% Conv — Fix the Close
Saturday is your busiest day by far (51 trials). But it only closes at 25.5% — below your Thursday (33%) and Monday (34%) rates.
Assign your best closer to Saturday post-class conversations. After the session ends, give a 2-minute pitch: "Here's what the next 3 months look like if you join today."
Offer a Saturday-only deal: "Sign up today and get your first month at $149." Urgency + discount = faster yes.
Raise Saturday conv from 25% to 33% = ~4 extra sign-ups per month = $676+/mo recurring.
Action #4 — Referral Engine Reboot
Turn Your 56 Members Into a Recruiting Team
You have 56 paid members. If each brings 1 friend per quarter, that's 56 new trial leads — for free.
Announce in every class: "Bring a friend this month. They get a free trial. You get a free class." Say it out loud. Put a sign at the front desk.
Referral conv is only 17.1% right now. The fix: pair the referred friend with the member in class. Buddy system = higher commitment = higher close rate.
Track referral source in Zen Planner so you can reward the top referrers with a shoutout or free month.
76 referral trials in 4 months. At 25% conv (vs current 17%) = 6 extra sign-ups.
Action #5 — Friday Traffic Boost
Friday Is Your Weakest Day (21.4%) — Make It a Trial Day
28 trials, only 6 sign-ups on Fridays — worst conv all week. Two options: fix the close OR shift Friday into a "trial-friendly" day.
Create a Friday Intro Night: market it specifically to beginners ("Never trained before? Start Fridays at 6:30 PM"). Beginners are 66% of your traffic already.
Post on Instagram and Google every Thursday: "Join us tomorrow — free first class." One post, one CTA, one day lead time.
Friday has volume. Fix the close or build a new entry point. Either way, 21% should not stay.
Action #6 — No-Show Recovery + BJJ Fix
Set Up Automations That Run Without You
No-shows: Use Zen Planner automation — text every trial booking 2 hours before class: "See you today at [time]! Address: [address]. Come 5 min early." One setup, runs forever.
BJJ: 18 trials, only 3 signed up (16.7% vs Muay Thai's 28.7%). Assign 1 dedicated BJJ coach to run every trial. Add a 3-min post-class pitch with specific progress milestones for beginners.
Re-engagement: Set a 30-day automated email for MED priority leads who haven't responded: "Still training? We have a spot for you." Let the system chase — you focus on new traffic.
Automations = revenue while you sleep. 9 no-shows likely cost 2-3 members. Fix it once.
