Pricing Worksheet for Your Hybrid Fitness Business

Since COVID-19, the fitness industry has seen a dramatic shift to hybrid, where studios and gyms offer a mix of both in-person sessions and virtual fitness.

In this landscape, there are a variety of factors for business owners to consider. From developing a virtual fitness brand to implementing new marketing tactics to updating instructor/trainer payroll and pricing, there's a lot to think about when evolving into a hybrid fitness business.

When it comes to pricing the offerings at your fitness business, specifically, you'll need to lean on data to drive your decision-making. Start by reviewing reports in your fitness software to see historic revenue and sales trends and the attendance habits of your clients (how often are they attending virtual workouts? In-person workouts? One-on-one sessions with your trainers?). You'll also need to consider your current capacity—paying special attention to any COVID-19 restrictions.

It walks through the steps (and Mindbody reports) to both review and revise your fitness studio pricing, including how to:

• Outline your current pricing because having too many pricing options for your fitness business can be confusing and actually lead to fewer sales
• Review your sales data to determine your most and least popular pricing options
• Look at attendance data to determine what your autopay offerings (for both in-person and virtual workouts) should be based around
• Review your expenses and profit goals to see if your current pricing is profitable for your business (and if not, how you might adjust)
• Consider capacity to see how your pricing or service mix should be adjusted to be profitable given current limitations (Do you need to prioritize semi-private or personal training sessions over group classes? Should you offer virtual classes with unlimited capacity instead of in-person sessions?) 

Once you have up-to-date data, you can consider various hybrid fitness pricing structures and price accordingly for: 

• All-access memberships that include both in-person and at-home, online workouts
• Access to on-demand or live streaming workouts as a separate add-on for clients

Evolving your hybrid business pricing strategy isn't easy. The positive impact it will have on your bottom line, however, is worth it. Even in the midst of COVID-19, you can lay the foundation for success at your hybrid fitness business—both today and for years to come.
