Be it entertainment, software, or healthcare, many industries today are embracing the subscription business model. It is by far the most attractive way of forging ties that transcend time with your customers. Do you doubt it? Check your NETFLIX subscription. We bet it’s on!
So, where has the fitness industry reached in adopting this trend?
Traditionally, gyms have always offered their clients monthly recurring or yearly packages to choose from. However, in the online personal training space, the absence of a robust tech infrastructure has always been a massive obstacle for growing a fitness business to its full potential.
Imagine, as a personal trainer, if you too could offer your customers attractive long-term fitness plans to choose from. Imagine the hassle-free experience your clients will have when their subscription auto-renews every month and you get paid in your account without the need of sending annoying reminders.
Just Imagine.

With Subscription-based Plans now introduced as part of our package, we are confident that trainers will take their business to a scale hitherto undreamt of. Why so:
1. Offer attractive packages
Give your clients the power to choose from a gamut of recurring plans. Some like to pay in short bursts of 4 weeks, and others feel they must commit for a long-term to make fitness a habit. Also, different price points will make it easier for your customers to pick the most suitable package that fits their pocket.
2. Setup recurring billing
Say goodbye to sending annoying reminders. With recurring billing, trainers like you can now give your customers the benefit of auto-renewing their plans. And in case any payment fails, your app will do the job of notifying your clients to update their payment details. This will also plug revenue leaks that otherwise occur in the traditional way of collecting payments.

Your clients simply stick with you because of the long-term value they see in what you have to offer. And with an app built with FitBudd, you can offer a lot of it. With recurring billing cycles and auto-renewals, you can be a part of their long-term fitness journey.
