đ§ STRATEGY
The Low Barrier Offer

If youâre selling monthly coaching packages, youâre leaving a lot of money on the table.
In a world where personal trainers are all competing for the same customer, itâs time to get creative.
Thatâs why a low-barrier offer (or âLBOâ for short) is the lifeblood of any fitness coaching business.
You entice people with a desirable solution and sign them up as an ongoing monthly client on the back-end.
This means you can acquire clients for less and build the most trust in the market.
But let me be clearâŠ
Itâs not a new offer. You donât have to create a new programme or spend hours making new resources.
A LBO is simply a front-end promise with a fixed duration.
The way you fulfil your clients doesnât change.
But the way you attract them DOES.
Letâs build your LBO together:
Step 1 - Decide the constants
Your LBO shouldnât be confusing.
Build a skeleton that gets results and change the clothes from time to time.
The constants I would nail down are:
Avatar = Whoâs it for?
Promise = What do they get?
Timeframe = How long is it?
Mechanism = How do they do it?
Guarantee = Whatâs the risk?
Price = How much is it?
Step 2 - Create the variables
Have you ever bought a new outfit and within weeks, it doesnât feel exciting to wear anymore?
Thatâs how the market thinks about your LBO.
Once you have the skeleton, donât be afraid to change up the clothes from time to time.
This keeps things fresh and always presents a ânewâ opportunity.
Variables include:
Season = Summer/Winter etc.
Problem = Body confidence/Injury rehab etc.
Desire = Look strong/Get lean etc.
Milestone = Business birthday/50 members etc.
Culture = Barbie/Hollywood Muscles
Bonus = Free Massage
Step 3 - Piece them together
You can see from the list above that creating LBOs can become easy.
Whenever your offer goes stale, pair one constant with one new variable (put clothes on the skeleton).
And boomâyouâve got a new exciting offer to share with your audience.
Itâs important to always keep things fresh. People are bombarded with fitness offers everyday. So donât be scared to find new creative ways to stand out.
Weâve made some free worksheets to brainstorm your LBOs. Check it out below.
