It lets prospects sign up for a trial, sign the waiver and book their first class online, then helps you follow up and turn them into paying students. In 1club, one form does the sign-up, waiver and booking, and the trial sits on the student's profile with its end date.
Martial Arts Trial Class Software
Turn more trial registrations into students. A single form for sign-up, waiver, and class booking, with timely follow-ups.
One form from first click to first class
A new student or a parent creates their profile, picks the trial, accepts the waiver, and books a class in one flow. The class they can book depends on the trial and program they chose. Nobody fills in paperwork at the desk, and nobody waits for a call back.
- 01
Free or paid. Set each trial plan as free or paid.
- 02
Age rules and parent signing. Set who can sign up for each program, and a parent signs the waiver for their child.
- 03
Share it anywhere. Add the form to your website as a button, or share the link on your Google Business Profile, social pages or in an email.
- 04
Check in by QR code: every student has a personal QR code in their profile, in the member portal or mobile app. They scan it at the kiosk and the class is logged on their profile.
Trials that fit how you teach
Run a trial the way your school already works. Most schools send new students to a beginner or fundamentals class, so each trial plan can be limited to the classes you choose.
- 01
Cap the trial. Limit it by a number of classes or a number of days.
- 02
Pick the programs. Trial students only see and book the classes the trial covers.
- 03
See the end date. The trial end date sits on the student's profile, so you know who is close to the end.
- 04
Kids' trials. Parents book a trial for their child from their family account.
Reminders and follow-ups that go out on time
Booking confirmations and class reminders go out automatically on every plan, so a trial student does not forget their first class. On the Grow plan, marketing automation lets you build the follow-up once and send it by SMS, email, push or WhatsApp.
- 01
Tag your trial students. A smart tag marks everyone on a trial, so your follow-ups reach only them.
- 02
After the first class. When a trial student checks in, send a thank-you and an invitation to join.
- 03
If they miss a class. A no-show triggers a friendly message to rebook.
Joining takes a minute, and it is their choice
A trial does not roll into a paid plan on its own. When a student is ready, they or their parent pick a paid plan in the member portal or app. Their profile and signed waiver carry over, so there is no new form to fill in. From day one, attendance and belt progress build on the same profile.
