Straight answer
A prospect attends a booked trial class and the attendance record is confirmed.

Main tradeoff
No-shows, whose next action is rescheduling rather than membership selection.
Industry Context And Next Action
Subject
Your next step after {{trial_class_name}}Hi {{first_name}},
Thanks for joining {{trial_class_name}} at {{gym_name}} on {{trial_date}}. Coach {{coach_name}} noted that you were interested in {{stated_goal}}, so the most relevant next step is {{recommended_next_step}}.
You can review the current membership option here: {{membership_link}}. It includes {{included_access}}, costs {{membership_price}}, and follows these cancellation or commitment terms: {{membership_terms}}.
If you would rather talk through class times, training experience, accessibility, or what to expect at your next visit, reply to this email. I can help you choose based on the schedule and services we actually offer—without assuming a particular fitness outcome.

Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
A prospect attends a booked trial class and the attendance record is confirmed.
Segment
Confirmed trial attendees who have not purchased a membership, opted out, or entered a separate sales conversation.
Delay
Two to four hours after confirmed class completion.
Reply owner: Membership advisor assigned to the trial lead and responsible for replies, plan questions, and booking.
- Confirm attendance and suppress no-shows, active members, duplicate leads, and open staff conversations.
- Insert the attended class, factual coach notes, current membership details, and assigned advisor.
- Send once, create a reply task for the advisor, and advance only nonresponders to the next approved sequence step.
Stop conditions
- Stop on membership purchase, reply, booked consultation, opt-out, or staff disqualification.
- Stop if attendance is reversed or the membership option is no longer available.
- Stop automation when a coach or advisor begins a personal conversation.
Subject Line Variations
- Your next step after {{trial_class_name}}
Connects the message to the attended class and sets an expectation.
- Thanks for visiting {{gym_name}}
Use when the coach did not record a specific goal.
- Questions after your trial class?
Invites a reply without manufacturing urgency.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Writing as if every trial attendee wants the same result
It can feel intrusive and may introduce an unsupported health or appearance claim.
Use instead: Use the recipient's stated goal or omit the goal entirely.
- Hiding membership terms behind a booking request
The recipient cannot evaluate the next step and may distrust the offer.
Use instead: State the applicable price, included access, and material commitment terms.
