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.
Enable class waitlists from day one so you can gauge demand for schedule expansion.
Offer a free trial class during launch week to lower the barrier for new members.
