Trial Memberships
Trial memberships provide new members with limited-time access at a special introductory or discounted rate, making them an excellent way to showcase your offerings or promote featured programs. At the conclusion of the trial, these memberships can be configured to transition seamlessly into a standard membership.
Note: When someone enrolls in a trial membership, they are listed as Visitors in Gymdesk.
