Keep the labels consistent so users can compare plans. A visitor should not have to interpret “flex”, “premium” and “standard” without explanation.
Our gym website design guide explains where the membership page fits in the wider journey.
Distinguish price from commitment
“£40 per month” does not explain whether there is a rolling agreement or a minimum term.
A fictional plan could show:
- £40 per month
- Twelve-month minimum term
- Access during stated opening hours
- Classes included where specified
- Joining fee shown separately if applicable
These are illustrative details, not recommended prices or legal wording.
Do not use “no contract” as shorthand for an absence of all terms. Explain the actual arrangement approved by the gym.
Make the total offer understandable
If there is an upfront payment, joining fee or deposit, display it clearly.
If a plan combines monthly and upfront costs, avoid showing only the smaller figure in large type. The information should remain legible on a phone and close to the action.
For student or age-based plans, explain eligibility and verification without collecting unnecessary sensitive information at the comparison stage.
Separate different products
Monthly memberships, day passes, week passes and coaching packages are not always directly comparable.
Group them appropriately:
- Membership plans
- Short-term access
- Coaching or optional services
Use headings that help visitors find the product they need. Avoid a single row of eight visually identical cards.
Choose the right action for every plan
| Purchase arrangement | Appropriate action |
|---|---|
| Supported online joining | Join Online |
| Reception-only purchase | Clear “Pay at Gym” information |
| Staff discussion required | Ask About This Plan |
| Tour before purchase | Book or Request a Tour |
| Approved day-pass checkout | Buy a Day Pass |
“Pay at Gym” should not look like a working checkout button when nothing happens. Use a non-interactive status or helpful explanatory text, and provide a separate real contact action if useful.
Use a confirmed destination for online joining. Do not guess provider URLs.

Active button to a confirmed joining page
Reception-only plan

Plain label, not a button
Keep joining links consistent with the displayed plan
Test the intended facility and membership. If the provider opens a selection page rather than a preselected plan, explain that accurately.
See Ashbourne website integration for provider-specific considerations, or ClubRight integration, or GymMaster integration.
A plan can look perfect on the public site while the linked portal still shows old information. Assign an owner for updates in both places.

Use comparison tables when they help
A short feature table can clarify meaningful differences:
- Access times
- Classes
- Guest allowances
- Coaching support
- Minimum term
Do not create a table of twenty identical checkmarks. Highlight the distinctions that affect a decision.
On mobile, preserve the relationship between feature names and plans. A swipeable table needs obvious scrolling or an equivalent labelled-card layout.
Use honest recommendation labels
“Popular choice” should reflect evidence, not a design preference. “Recommended for beginners” should be justified by the included support.
If evidence is unavailable, use descriptive labels such as “Rolling membership” or “Includes coached sessions”.
Avoid fabricated scarcity, misleading crossed-out prices and offers with missing end dates.
Explain what happens after joining
A short section can answer:
- Does membership start immediately?
- Will the member receive an email?
- How do they arrange an induction?
- What is needed for access?
- Who helps if registration fails?
Use verified information from the actual process. The website should not promise instant access when staff must complete another step.
Our gym trial landing-page guide covers prospects who want a first visit before committing.
Add useful membership FAQs
Questions should resolve practical uncertainty, not repeat sales slogans.
Include accurate answers about trial options, included classes, access arrangements, eligibility and where full terms can be read. Have the gym approve contractual information and seek suitable professional advice where required.
Do not draft cancellation terms from assumptions or copy another gym’s policy.
Test the page with a newcomer
Ask somebody unfamiliar with the gym to identify:
- The right plan for their circumstances.
- The stated cost and commitment.
- What is included.
- How to take the next step.
- Where to find the full terms.
Their difficulties show where labels or layout need improvement.
Use the gym website audit checklist for wider checks, and enquiry troubleshooting if visitors are still not acting.

Keep the pricing page maintainable
A safe CMS should allow authorised staff to update plans without breaking the layout. Useful fields include price, frequency, term, inclusions, eligibility and verified destination.
Do not scatter duplicate membership values across components. Use a suitable source of truth and update any campaign pages when the offer changes.
See website maintenance for an ongoing accuracy process.
What Gee Web Design can build
We can design a clear membership comparison within a gym website and connect the intended actions to supported provider journeys.
Professional gym websites typically start with Business Growth from £995. A specific pricing-page improvement is scoped against the existing site; complex work is individually quoted.
Review website packages, explore gym website costs, or discuss improving your membership page.
Make your plans easy to compare
Tell us how members currently join and we’ll suggest a sensible scope.
Frequently asked questions
Should every gym publish membership prices?
Clear pricing usually supports informed comparison. If a service needs consultation, explain the basis and provide useful information rather than an empty enquiry gate.
Can my page use “from” prices?
Where accurate, but explain what the starting figure includes and what affects the final amount.
Should all plans have a Join Now button?
No. The action must match the real purchase process. Reception-only and consultation-led options need different treatment.
Can I highlight the most popular plan?
Yes, when the claim is supported. Otherwise use a descriptive label.
Do membership terms belong on the pricing page?
Summarise important commitments and fees close to the offer, and provide access to the gym’s approved full terms.
Will a new pricing page guarantee more sign-ups?
No. It can reduce confusion, but the offer, traffic, facility and follow-up also matter.
