Sample engagement
The solo PT that grew revenue 26% without more sessions.
One trainer. Forty active clients. Capped on session hours, revenue flat for two years.
A London-based solo PT was full on 1:1 sessions but couldn't grow without burning out. Two-week build: TrueCoach programme delivery for hybrid clients (one session in-person, programme delivered between), Acuity booking with no-show charges, weekly check-in workflow, post-PB review nudges. Six months in: revenue up 26% on the same session hours, eight hours of admin reclaimed per week, twelve new clients converted from TrueCoach-only programmes that didn't need calendar time.
How we measure: Revenue measured against the prior 6-month baseline (Stripe + GoCardless reconciled to Xero); admin time tracked via daily journal sample over two two-week periods; programme-only client revenue isolated and added to baseline.
