🏋️♂️ Help Doc: Before Class – Sales Choreography for Gym Launch
This help doc outlines the step-by-step actions required before class begins to prepare a prospect mentally and emotionally for a successful gym experience and ultimately increase close rates. This process is part of the Class Sales Choreography and is designed to ensure a seamless and intentional path from the prospect’s arrival to the start of the workout.
✅ What You’ll Need (Prep Checklist)
To execute this process smoothly, prepare the following items in advance:
-
🔖 Pre-Class Questionnaire (printed, customized, and ready to hand out)
-
🖊️ Pens + Clipboards (1 per prospect)
-
🪑 Clean, distraction-free sitting area
-
🖼️ Before & After Photos, Testimonials, Social Proof (on walls or in binders)
-
⚖️ Scale or Body Fat Scanner
-
🧾 Printed reviews near the scanner
🧭 Step-by-Step Choreography
1. Initial Greeting (Within 3 Seconds)
-
Eyes on the door.
-
Greet the prospect by name with a smile and eye contact.
-
Make them feel welcome immediately.
2. Hand Off the Pre-Class Questionnaire
-
Place your hand over the form and clearly explain what’s about to happen.
-
Say:
“We’ve got a quick application with some questions about your goals and what you’ve tried in the past. After that, we’ll do a quick scan, then get into class. Once class ends, we’ll talk about your goals and see if we’re a good fit.” -
Hand them the clipboard, pen, and escort them to the sitting area.
-
Look busy while they fill it out — don’t stare.
3. Move Them to the Scanner
-
As soon as they’re done, escort them to the scale or scanner.
-
While scanning, offer a light compliment to ease tension.
“Hey, great shirt — where’d you get that?” or “You’ve got good energy today!”
4. Set Expectations for Class
-
Go over what will happen during the class.
-
Give permission to take it easy:
“You don’t need to prove anything today — just focus on doing your best.”
5. Mini Discovery Conversation
Ask a few open-ended questions to gather insight for your post-class pitch:
-
“What brought you in today?”
-
“What have you tried before?”
-
“Have you done anything like this before?”
-
Powerful one: “Why today? Why not 6 months ago?”
Use their answers later to tailor your pitch and re-anchor urgency.
