Tips for Success
Run a pre-sale campaign 6-8 weeks before opening to build a founding member base and validate demand.
Start with fewer classes and add more as demand grows, it is better to have full classes than empty ones.
Keep track of classes that fill up from day one, and of members who ask for a spot, so you know where to add classes.
Offer a free trial class during launch week to lower the barrier for new members.
