Sign-Ups — Trials who became paying members
Conversion Rate — % of trials who signed up. Higher = better.

Warm Leads — Tried the class, haven't joined yet. Still reachable.
HIGH / MED / LOW — How ready they are to join. Based on what they said AND how recently they came in.

Week Of Trials Sign-Ups Conv. Rate Flag
Watch the low-close weeks. Jan 5 (12.5%), Jan 26 (11.1%), Feb 16 (16.7%), and Apr 13 (14.3%) all had decent trial volume but low conversion. 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 1:30 PM (34.3%) convert best. Evening classes (5:30 PM and 6:30 PM) bring the most bodies — 48 and 37 trials — but close at only 22.9% and 24.3%. Put your best coach on afternoon slots.

Saturday is the busiest day
Conversion Rate by Day
Thursday (33.3%) and Monday (32.1%) close best
Friday is your softest day. 26 trials, only 6 sign-ups (23.1%) — the lowest close rate all week. Sunday bounced back to 29.0% (31 trials, 9 sign-ups) — no longer a problem. Thursday and Monday lead the week at 33.3% and 32.1%. If you can move more trials to Thu/Mon afternoon slots, your overall rate goes up without adding a single new lead.

Class Popularity
All-time data — Jan 2 to Apr 26, 2026  ·  Muay Thai vs BJJ trial and conversion breakdown
Trial Volume by Class
Muay Thai dominates at 89% of active trials (170 of 191)
Conversion Rate by Class
BJJ converts at less than half the Muay Thai rate
BJJ is underperforming. 17 BJJ trials, only 2 sign-ups (11.8%). Muay Thai closes at 30.6%. BJJ converts at less than half the Muay Thai rate — the trial experience needs a dedicated coach and a structured post-class pitch.

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.

4.1 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.
A small gap has emerged — but it's still well below industry norms. Athletes with prior gym experience now convert at 29.9% vs. 25.8% for beginners — a 4.1 point gap. Most gyms see 10+ points. Your coaching still closes the gap well. The bigger story: 132 of your 200 trials had zero gym background. That's a huge beginner funnel. Make sure coaches are spending time on first-timers — that's where most of your volume is.

Google keeps getting better every month. Jan 30% → Feb 32% → Mar 39% → Apr 25% (month still early). Referrals stay flat at 18-25% every month — that referral promo is not moving the needle. Walk-ins close at 75-100% every month they appear — those people already decided before they walked in. Double down on what works.

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 4.5% across 200 bookings is manageable — but at 27.5% conversion, those 9 no-shows likely cost 2-3 members and $2,000+ in 6-month recurring revenue.

Growth Recommendations
6 actions the owner can start this week
Fix #1 — Do This Today

Follow Up 135 Warm Leads in Zen Planner

  • Open Zen Planner, filter contacts who trialed but did not sign up
  • Start with the 46 HIGH priority leads first — message: "Hey [Name], still thinking about Hinds? Grab our 5-class pass for $150 (5 classes, 3 months) — no commitment, just training."
  • Set a 7-day and 14-day automated reminder for non-responders
135 warm leads. Even 20% close = 27 new members.
Fix #2 — This Week

Send a Reminder Before Every Trial (Zen Planner)

  • Set up a Zen Planner automation: text 2 hours before each trial class
  • Message: "See you at [time] today! Here is the address: [address]. Come 10 min early."
  • 9 no-shows = ~$300 lost. A text costs nothing.
Cuts no-shows. Every no-show is a missed ~$150 sale.
Fix #3 — Promote It Louder

Make the $50 Referral Promo Actually Work

  • 60 referral trials only converted at 20% — they do not feel urgency
  • Announce the $50 promo in every class this week out loud
  • Put a sign at the front desk: "Bring a friend. They save $50. You earn a free class."
Referrals at 20% conv. Should be 30%+ with proper push.
Fix #4 — Church Street Opportunity

Target Displaced Church Street LIC Members

  • Post in Church Street LIC Facebook groups and r/muaythai on Reddit
  • Offer a "Welcome Home" rate: first month discounted for verified ex-Church St members
  • Ask the 8 who already came in to personally invite their old training partners
8 came already. The community is actively looking.
Fix #5 — Fix the Leak

Fix Instagram (4 Trials, 0 Sign-Ups)

  • Every post needs one clear CTA: "Book your free trial — link in bio"
  • Post 1 real class footage Reel per week — not just event promos
  • Track which post drove each booking in the trial tracker
0% conversion. Anything is better than nothing.
Fix #6 — Class-Level Fix

Fix BJJ Trials (12% vs Muay Thai's 31%)

  • Assign one dedicated coach to run every BJJ trial — no rotating
  • After class: 3-minute pitch on what BJJ progress looks like in 3 months
  • Offer the 5-class pass ($150) on the spot — much lower bar than $169/mo membership
17 BJJ trials, only 2 signed up (11.8%). Fix the experience.
