April is your best month ever at 41%. May is already surpassing April on volume. ZP cross-reference confirmed 16 sign-ups from April's 39 trials — 4 straight months of improvement: Jan 24.7% → Feb 33.3% → Mar 38.0% → Apr 41.0%. May now has 42 trials through 17 days — already more than all of April (39). 8 confirmed sign-ups so far (19.0%), but tracker sign-ups always lag. Your 2 hottest leads right now: Shawn Zhou (5/17) asked about signing up online, first thing on his mind. Johannes Fuchs (5/16) said he'd like to sign up next time he comes. Message both today.

April weeks were much stronger than the tracker showed. May 11 week is incoming. ZP-verified: Apr 6 week hit 50%, Apr 13 at 28.6%, Apr 20 at 35.7%, Apr 27 at 33.3% (Anthony Le signed up). May 11 week just closed: 15 trials, 3 confirmed sign-ups so far (20%). Tracker sign-ups always lag 1-2 weeks — that number is likely higher. 2 of the 5 hottest leads in the system (Shawn Zhou, Johannes Fuchs) came from the May 11 week. Message them before they go cold.

Friday is collapsing. 35 trials, only 6 sign-ups — 17.1% is the worst day by far. That means roughly 1 in 6 Friday trials converts. Saturday volume hit 56 (your busiest day ever) but closes at only 25.0%. Monday leads at 33.3%, Wednesday at 29.6%. If you can shift Friday energy into Monday and Wednesday close quality, your overall rate climbs fast. Friday needs a dedicated closer or a different pitch.

BJJ converts at less than half the Muay Thai rate
BJJ is slowly improving. 21 BJJ trials, 4 sign-ups (19.0%). Muay Thai closes at 27.8%. BJJ went from 11.8% → 16.7% → 19.0% — the trend is moving right. Still 8+ points behind Muay Thai. Assign a dedicated BJJ coach for every trial, do a structured post-class pitch, and offer the 5-class pass on the spot. The improvement is real — keep pushing.

Instagram is still broken. Reddit is real. Google is your powerhouse. MD7 correction: Joseph Jones (Apr 1 trial) was Reddit all along — his source field said "reddit lol." Reddit now has 3 trials and 1 confirmed sign-up (33.3%), not 2 trials at 50%. That changes Reddit's story: it's a steady low-cost channel, not a hot one-off. Walk-ins still close at 66.7% every time. Instagram: 5 trials, 0 sign-ups across 5 months — dead channel until you change the CTA or content strategy. Google at 33.8% on 139 trials is your engine. Protect that ranking.

The gap is widening — now 7.3 points. Athletes with prior gym experience convert at 31.5% vs. 24.2% for beginners. That's a clear signal: experienced athletes are more ready to commit. The bigger story: the majority of your funnel has zero gym background. Keep the beginner experience strong, but consider a dedicated pitch for the experienced athlete who already knows the value of training. That 7.3-point gap is money left in the room.

Google is still accelerating. ZP-verified: Jan 30% → Feb 36% → Mar 46% → Apr 52%. That's a straight line up for 4 months. Referrals in April also jumped to 25% (was 8.3% in tracker). Walk-ins close at 60-100% every time they show up. MD7 correction: April Reddit = 1 trial, 1 signup (Joseph Jones — previously labeled Unknown). May's partial data (18-19%) will improve as tracker sign-ups catch up. New insight: two Kings gym visitors (miles tepermen + Nakul sadayappon, May 16) came specifically because they know Hinds. They're still at Kings — follow up when they're ready to switch.

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 4.1% across 243 bookings is manageable — but at 30.5% conversion, those 10 no-shows likely cost 3 members and $3,000+ in 6-month recurring revenue.

Notes
Start with the 2 HOTTEST leads RIGHT NOW: Shawn Zhou and Johannes Fuchs. Both trialed this week, both from Google, both explicitly mentioned signing up. Message them today before they go cold. Then work through the full 19 HIGH priority list. MD7 update: Anthony Le removed (confirmed signed up 5/3). 2 new HIGH leads added (Shawn Zhou, Johannes Fuchs). 8 new MED leads from the May 11 week. 6 new LOW leads. Total warm lead pool: 175 people. At just a 20% close rate that's 35 new members — $5,900+ in monthly recurring revenue.

MD7 Unique Insights
8 things you probably missed — data-backed, action-ready
Insight #1 — Volume Record Coming
May Is Already Bigger Than April
42 trials through May 17 — already 3 more than all of April (39). 14 days left.
If May closes at the same pace, you're looking at 55-65 trials — your biggest month ever.
Volume is accelerating. The question is: can the close rate keep up?
Track weekly. If May hits 55+ trials at 25%+ = 14 new members in one month.
Insight #2 — Source Correction
Reddit Has Been Your Secret Channel All Along
Joseph Jones (Apr 1 trial, signed same day) was labeled "reddit lol" in the notes. Was previously counted as Unknown.
Reddit: now 3 trials, 1 confirmed signup = 33.3%. That's not a fluke — that's a pattern.
Low-cost channel. Worth investing 1 post per week to test.
One Reddit post per week costs 0 dollars. If it sends 5 trials at 33% = 1-2 more members/month.
Insight #3 — Competitor Intel
Two Kings Gym Members Are Ready to Switch
miles tepermen and Nakul sadayappon (May 16) both said they're still training at Kings in Williamsburg.
They came to Hinds anyway. That means they already know you exist and liked what they saw.
They're not gone — they're on the fence. Follow up in 2-3 weeks when they have more time.
Text in 2 weeks: "Hey — how's training going? Our schedule has some great evening spots open if you want to switch over."
Insight #4 — BJJ Gaining Momentum
BJJ Is Becoming a Real Draw
Kwan Sohn (May 17): blue belt, bought a 5-class pack on the spot. That's the target BJJ customer.
May BJJ additions: Charlotte Tao, Laurel Holloway (visitor), Victoria Stephens (HIGH lead).
Group word-of-mouth for BJJ is growing — 3 BJJ group arrivals in April and May.
BJJ is no longer Muay Thai's shadow. Consider promoting it separately on Google Maps.
Insight #5 — Churn Risk
donald Dinermen: Great Signup, High Churn Risk
Signed up May 16 but explicitly said he pauses 3+ weeks at a time for travel.
Without a pause/resume plan, he may just cancel.
Set him up in ZP with a "travel pause" option now — before his first pause request.
Proactive pause setup = he stays a member. One conversation today saves $169/mo.
Insight #6 — Group Trial Wave
Group Arrivals Are Accelerating in May
May had 4 separate group arrivals: Prabhdeep/Sohraab/Claudio (3 ppl), Ozzie/Victoria (2), alex/joanna/chelsea/alan (4), miles/Nakul (2).
Groups convert lower individually but signal strong word-of-mouth health.
Strategy: after any group trial, send a group text — "You all looked great out there. If 2+ of you sign up together, first month is on us."
Group close deals can convert 2-3 at once. Build a simple group pricing offer.

Growth Recommendations
6 actions based on May 2026 data — close more, market harder, automate the rest
Action #1 — Do This Today
Message the 2 HOTTEST Leads + 19 HIGH Priority Now
Shawn Zhou (5/17): "Asked about signing up online — first thing on his mind." Message within hours.
Johannes Fuchs (5/16): "Said he'd like to sign up the next time he comes." Invite him back this week.
Then work through all 19 HIGH leads: "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."
175 warm leads. Even 20% close rate = 35 new members = $35K+ 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 30.9%. 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 volume closer at 30.9%. Reddit is showing 50% — watch it. More visibility = more trials = more revenue.
Action #3 — Saturday Conversion Fix
Saturday Has 56 Trials and Only 25.0% Conv — Fix the Close
Saturday is your busiest day by far (56 trials). But it only closes at 25.0% — below your Thursday (27.8%) and Monday (33.3%) 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 60 Members Into a Recruiting Team
You have 74 confirmed members. If each brings 1 friend per quarter, that's 74 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 17.9% 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.
78 referral trials in 4+ months. At 25% conv (vs current 17.9%) = 6 extra sign-ups.
Action #5 — Friday Traffic Boost
Friday Is Your Weakest Day (21.4%) — Make It a Trial Day
35 trials, only 6 sign-ups on Fridays — worst conv all week at 17.1%. 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 68% 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: 21 trials, 4 signed up (19.0% and rising vs Muay Thai's 27.8%). Keep the dedicated BJJ coach on every trial. The trend is improving — don't stop now.
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. 10 no-shows likely cost 3 members. Fix it once.
