Happy Monday! Poster #1 challenge and see if we can collaborate and get through it together! For us, we need more instructors. Our kids classes keep growing!

Just joined looking forward to talking about business with one another.

4 Week Intro Course $49.99 gives the opportunity to try out 1 month without signing up for a contract this is something I’ve been offering for about 2yrs and have had great success. I would say 0-10 (example) 2-3 will sign up for this offer. They feel they have some skin in the game and see some value. I would never do a week free or a day free because I’ve done 30 days free before and you know what I’ve gotten out of it zero. What do you offer? What works best for you? Tips?

Been on a hot streak with enrollment lately and wanted to get some input on something. I had a parent comment about our class sizes. Yesterday we had 40 kids ages 5-8 on the mat….we’ve got about 2,300 sq ft of mat space to work with. Funny enough, the parent who raised concerns was a kid who was on his first trial class, and he had a great time…genuinely a strong first class for him. On my follow-up call today she said he loved it and they’d be back tomorrow but she asked whether the class size was normal, since it felt big to her. I’ve averaged around 25 kids in that age group for a while, but with how fast we’ve been growing, 35-40 seems to be where we’re landing now as the new norm. I’m deliberate about coverage though…worst case I run 1 adult per 8 kids, split into pods of 4 pairs each, with an adult per pod. On days like yesterday I will add. 5th pod with another adult helper. There is no sparring at this level, just paired technique work, so I float between pods, jump in one-on-one, and pull stragglers back on task. A couple Jr. Assistants help out too when they’re around. The class itself felt smooth and had a good vibe, but her comment stuck with me, especially with growth like this. Curious what you all run for class size and ratio of adult to kids at that age group, and how you’d handle feedback like hers. I’m planning to sit down and actually look at capacity, and I’m leaning toward adding another slot on a different day for that age group to spread the numbers out…but wanted to hear how others think about it first. I’ve seen schools with way more kids and chaos on the mats so I feel like I am doing things correctly but I am a bit of a perfectionist so her comment is eating at me a bit.
