5 Black Friday Offers That Actually Work for Gyms & Studios
Let’s be real, Black Friday can feel a bit… forced.
Everyone’s throwing out discounts. Everyone’s shouting louder than the next person.
But most fitness businesses?
They’re either copying someone else’s offer… or not doing anything at all.
So this year, let’s do it right.
Here are 5 Black Friday offers that actually work; proven to bring in leads and convert them into paying clients (without destroying your pricing).
⸻
🏋️♂️ 1. Flash Sale: Limited Spaces on Your Next Programme
Instead of discounting everything, create a limited-time bundle that rewards fast action.
Example:
“6-Week Challenge – Black Friday Special: Only 10 spaces available at £XXX with 2 bonus PT sessions + nutrition pack.”
Why it works:
Scarcity = urgency. And it’s easy to deliver because you’re just adding value (not reducing your rates).
Pro tip:
Use a countdown timer in your ads, emails or landing page. It gives people a visual nudge to take action.
⸻
🛍️ 2. “Train Now, Save Later” Bundle
This one gives people a reason to join now, but rewards them later.
Example:
“Sign up this weekend and get your first month in January completely free.”
Why it works:
It overcomes the “I’ll start in January” excuse, while still locking in commitment and payment now.
You’re pulling forward revenue without overloading your current capacity.
⸻
💳 3. Gift Cards / Refer-a-Friend Credit
People are in spending mode, so why not give them a reason to buy for someone else?
Example:
• “Buy a £100 gift card for a friend and get £25 credit for yourself.”
• “Refer a friend this weekend and you both get £XX off your next month.”
Why it works:
You double your exposure and incentivise referrals… especially great for community-driven gyms or semi-private training.
⸻
🎯 4. Annual Membership Deals (If You Want Cash Now)
If you’re looking to bring in big cash flow before the year ends, this one’s for you.
Example:
“Pay for 10 months, get 2 free. Offer ends Sunday night.”
Why it works:
It’s great for committed members and gives you a healthy end-of-year boost.
Just make sure your onboarding, retention, and programming are dialled in so people don’t vanish after 3 months.
⸻
🎉 5. Bonus Bundle Instead of a Discount
Not all Black Friday offers need to be discounts… add value instead.
Example:
“Sign up to any plan this weekend and get:
✅ 1-1 PT induction
✅ Body scan
✅ 6-week nutrition guide
✅ Exclusive member-only hoodie”
Why it works:
You raise perceived value while protecting your pricing. It also gives new members a stronger start (and better results).
