// The challenge
Where they started
Pulse Fitness had packed classes, great reviews, and a booking flow that felt like paperwork. Their embedded scheduling widget required account creation before a first visit — and 71% of mobile visitors gave up before finishing.
With a third location opening, they needed a site that could convert Instagram traffic into booked mats without adding front-desk headcount.
// The approach
What we did about it
- Designed a guest checkout for trial classes: pick a class, pick a time, done
- Rebuilt the schedule as a fast, filterable native UI instead of an iframe widget
- Added social proof at decision points: ratings beside every class and coach
- wired automated SMS reminders to cut no-shows
- Localized landing pages for each studio with maps, parking, and coach bios
// The solution
What we shipped
The new site treats booking like e-commerce: a class is a product, and reserving a spot takes three taps. First-time visitors can book as guests — accounts are created automatically after the visit, when motivation is at its peak.
Coach-led storytelling and real class photos replaced generic gym stock, and each studio page now ranks and converts independently for its neighborhood.
// The results
What happened next
- Trial bookings up 156% in the first 90 days
- Booking abandonment cut by 58% after removing forced sign-up
- 41% of trial guests convert to memberships (up from 27%)
- No-show rate down a third thanks to automated reminders
“The old widget was costing us members we'll never know about. DevLoop made booking feel effortless — our front desk finally spends its time with members, not passwords.”
