Need to increase personal training renewals? — Gym Insight’s freshest feature gives you the option to schedule recurring payments for personal training, punch card add-ons and annual fees. No more chasing clients at renewal time – just place their account – and their favorite little luxury – on auto-bill and watch the sales flow.

To make this tool even sweeter, we’ve added recurring scheduled payments to our Sales Guru© software.

Try this at your gym:

Bundle personal training services and guest goodies — such as towel service, and locker room rentals — at sign-ups.
Brand pricing packages. Promote any membership combo from Basic Entry to Max VIP (i.e: personal training coupled with a full run of your club’s best offerings) all from the same page.
