How to grow your payments app with personal trainers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Personal trainers and fitness instructors often run sessions in parks, gyms and community halls. Clients pay per session, buy packs or pay monthly, and chasing missed payments takes time away from training.
Ask how they get paid
Talk to a few trainers and instructors and ask:
- Do clients pay per session, by pack or monthly?
- How often do clients miss a session without paying?
- How do people pay for your group classes?
- How do you keep track of who has sessions left?
Take payment before the session
A payment link sent when a session or class is booked means the trainer is paid up front. No-shows cost them less.
Make packs and monthly plans simple
Selling a pack of sessions or a monthly plan with one link keeps clients committed and gives the trainer steadier income.
Grow through classes and gyms
Trainers often share gyms, parks and halls with other trainers. One who likes your app will show the others they work alongside.
