Please make sure you speak with the new member before or after the class. Explain to them how we have multiple scalings for different classes. Most new members should start with our beginner scaling.

Before class starts you’ll want to introduce to the new member.  You can do this upfront in the waiting area.  As the host, we help facilitate conversation.  Introduce existing members to our new member with questions like: “What’s your name, what have learned at Sand and Steel, and What’s a good tip for someone just joining.”  Feeling welcome is a big part of Sand and Steel. Let the new member know you will be able to assist them in signing up after the class.

If you have a new member in your class, text Paul to let him know.  This way he can be available to help you assist the new member through the signup process.

Sign Up With the Staff App: If they signed up for a free trial, they are already in Zen Planner.  From the Staff App click the person, then add Membership. After you add the membership, click add payment method (ask them for the credit card.) Then ask them to take their picture for their membership profile.

Signup at Home? It’s not possible to signup at home because we have to provide the member with electronic access.  That can only be done in the gym.  Signing up only takes 5 minutes.

Forgot Credit Card? Signup as normal, and email client a reminder to add “payment method” when they get home.

Need to Start in the Future? We can adjust the start date of any membership after the fact.  Just sell the membership as normal, and email Paul to adjust the start date after the meeting.

Special Permission Needed? All personal training memberships come with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
