Health & Wellness
Fitness sites that sell the membership, not the tour.
Members join on impulse and stay on routine. Your site should close the trial instantly and make the schedule effortless.
Buyer behaviour
How gyms & fitness studios actually get chosen
Design decisions should follow the way your customers buy — not a template.
- Sign-ups are impulsive and almost entirely mobile.
- Free trial or intro offer is the primary conversion event.
- Class schedules are checked constantly by existing members.
- Coach personality drives studio-level loyalty.
