Web Design for Gyms and Fitness Studios

Somebody deciding to join a gym has already done the hard part, and then most gym websites hide the schedule and refuse to say the price. I build gym and fitness studio websites for Hagerstown and the four-state area that show the class schedule, publish the membership tiers, and hand a nervous beginner a free trial pass before they can talk themselves out of it.

The job

Gym Websites That Get Past the Intimidation

The person you most want to reach is the one who is scared of your gym—out of shape, unsure what a class involves, worried about being the worst one there. Warm photos of regular people, an explanation of what a first class is like, and a free trial does more for membership than any January promotion.

What the site has to do

Fitness Studio Website Design Built for Sign-Ups

01

The Class Schedule, Live and Bookable

What is on today, who is coaching, how full it is. It is the most-visited page for members and the most-checked page for prospects—and it should never be a PDF.

02

Membership Tiers With Prices On Them

Monthly, annual, class packs, drop-in, family. Hiding pricing behind a tour request is the single biggest leak on gym websites.

03

A Free Trial or First Class Free

Low-commitment entry that removes the risk. Then the actual sale happens in the room, which is where you are good at it.

04

Coaches and Real Members, Not Fitness Models

Bios, certifications, and photographs of people who actually train there, at a range of ages and body types. Beginners are looking for someone who looks like them.

Questions

Gym Website Questions

Who should the website be written for?

The person who is scared of your gym. Out of shape, unsure what a class involves, worried about being the worst one there. Reaching them does more for membership than any January promotion.

Should membership prices be published?

Yes. Hiding pricing behind a tour request is the single biggest leak on gym websites — people assume the worst and leave. Monthly, annual, class packs and drop-in, all visible.

Does the class schedule need to be live?

It is the most-visited page for members and the most-checked page for prospects. A PDF that is three weeks out of date actively costs you sign-ups.

What is the best offer for a beginner?

A free trial or first class free. Low commitment removes the risk, and the actual sale then happens in the room, which is where you are good at it.

Should we use stock fitness photos?

No. Photographs of real members at a range of ages and body types will always outperform models. Beginners are looking for someone who looks like them.
