People visit our site but hardly anyone writes. Where do you start?

With the path on a phone, from the first screen to a booked talk. We check whether it is clear within seconds whom you train, what it costs and what the next step is. Then we look at where visitors stop: often at a long form, at a missing price, or at a button that leads to a general contact page.

Does showing prices reduce the number of enquiries?

It reduces those that would have ended at the price anyway, and that saves time. People who write after seeing the price list are further on in their decision and easier to talk to. If there are fewer enquiries while the booked first sessions stay level or rise, the change has worked.

What usually helps a trainer's site the most?

Usually three things: a real photo and a few sentences in your own voice at the top, a calendar where a talk can be booked without waiting for a reply, and client stories beside the button. None of them calls for rebuilding the site. We still check each one with you, because what holds visitors back differs from trainer to trainer.

What if a change brings more enquiries from people we cannot help?

Then it was a bad change, however good the count looks. We follow what happens after the enquiry: how many talks took place and how many people became clients. If a new headline on the page draws those looking for a diet or a cheap gym pass, we change it so that it says whom you train and whom you do not.

Plan for your industry

Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) for Personal Trainers

A personal trainer's site loses enquiries to fears rather than gaps in information, and conversion work answers them: being judged, falling behind and being tied into a long package.

One clear button to book a first chat, with prices shown in a way that does not frighten, works better than five contact options.

Market realities

Online challenges for personal trainers

Hidden fees, vague timelines and weak buttons on mobile are the usual culprits, long before any elaborate testing is needed.

Proof of expertise is often too thin for a decision built on trust

Future clients need clear evidence of your method, your results and whether your coaching suits them.

Weak proof sends people shopping around, and many drop out.
Evidence set out clearly brings better paid consultations.

Your first form does not match how ready the visitor is

Someone just looking around and someone ready to start should not get the same form.

The wrong form means fewer enquiries become clients.
Asking questions step by step brings clients who stay longer.

Five ways to get in touch, and the visitor picks none

Faced with many ways to make contact, a nervous visitor cannot decide which is right and leaves to think.

One clear first step on the page, such as a short free talk, is easier to take.
A price with no list of what it covers, such as sessions, a plan or messages between sessions, invites the visitor to compare it with a gym pass.

What we do

Conversion Optimisation approach for personal trainers

For personal trainers, we test one clear idea at a time on the pages where people are closest to getting in touch, state your limits more clearly and shorten the path for visitors who are ready to act.

The fear that keeps a message from being sent

A visitor to a trainer's site is seldom short of information. They fear being judged, not keeping up, and signing up for something that is hard to leave.

Beside the button we place the sentences that answer those fears: the first talk commits you to nothing, you start from your own level, a package can be put on hold.
A photo and a short story of a client who began from the same place stand on the same screen, not on a separate page of testimonials.

One clear step in place of five ways to get in touch

A phone number, a form, a messenger, an email address and a social profile side by side lead people to put the choice off.

We pick one main action, usually booking a first talk in the calendar, and one alternative for those who would sooner write.
The button stays in view on a phone for the whole scroll and says what will happen, for example book a free talk, in place of the word send.

Prices shown so that they do not frighten

The bare price of a package of sessions looks high to someone who has never paid a trainer.

Next to the price we write what it covers: the plan, contact between sessions, checks on progress, and what a single session comes to.
With few visits a test of two versions proves little. So we change one thing at a time, compare booked talks over similar periods and say outright how certain the result is.

Conversion Optimisation process for personal trainers

Where visitors stop

We look at where visitors leave and read the questions people ask by phone and email before they decide.

Doubts answered

We answer the main doubt next to the button and shorten the form or the booking path. For trainers, a single clear way to get in touch replaces a scatter of options, prices are shown with what they include so they do not frighten, and the fear of being judged is answered beside the button.

One change at a time

We change one thing at a time, because a small site has too few visits for quick tests.

Judging the result

We judge a change by the enquiries that follow, and undo it if it brings more enquiries of the wrong kind.
