How to Use

Four steps to pressure-test your pricing

1

Pick your business type

Each preset (PT 1:1, small-group, group fitness, yoga, Pilates) seeds a typical AU session rate and session duration. Override the session rate if your market is different.

2

Set session rate and weekly hours

Your casual session rate sets the price anchor. Weekly billable hours captures the practical cap on revenue, most solo operators max out at 25 to 30 paid hours per week.

3

Configure pack and membership offers

Pack size and discount % govern multi-session economics. Monthly membership price sets unlimited or capped recurring revenue. The calculator shows side-by-side economics.

4

Add fixed costs and churn

Fixed monthly costs (rent + equipment finance + insurance) plus realistic churn % drive break-even, how many active members you need to cover costs at your target margin.

Practical tips for operators

Casual rate is the anchor, not the goal

Most members never buy casual, they buy pack or membership. The casual rate exists to make pack and membership look like great value. Set the casual rate 20% to 40% above the membership per-session equivalent.

Pack expiry creates urgency

Sessions packs with a 3 to 6 month expiry drive usage. Unlimited expiry creates dead packs that gather dust and don't convert to membership. State consumer law requires reasonable expiry, anything under 60 days is risky, anything over 12 months is operationally useless.

Membership margin lives in retention

A member paying $40/week for 18 months is worth $3,120. A member churning at month 3 is worth $480 and likely cost more to acquire. Retention drives gross margin more than any pricing lever, model break-even at realistic churn, not best-case.

Fixed costs are the lease decision

The break-even member count tells you the size of facility you can lease. A 100-member break-even at a 200-cap studio is feasible. A 250-member break-even at a 200-cap studio means signing the lease is mathematically uneconomic. Calculate before negotiating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this fitness pricing calculator?

It's a directional model based on typical Australian fitness industry economics. Real pricing is shaped by suburb, format competition, member demographics and brand positioning. Use it to pressure-test whether your current or proposed pricing covers fixed costs at realistic member volumes, not as a final price-list.

Why does the calculator show three pricing tiers (casual, pack, membership)?

Most AU fitness operators run all three. Casual is the anchor (highest per-session price), pack creates commitment (10% to 20% discount in exchange for upfront commitment), and membership unlocks lowest per-session cost in exchange for recurring billing. Modelling all three together exposes whether one tier cannibalises the others.

What's a realistic monthly churn rate for fitness members?

Industry benchmarks: 24/7 gym 3% to 5% monthly. Boutique studio 4% to 7%. PT studio 5% to 8%. Online coaching 7% to 12%. Below 4% is excellent; above 8% signals an onboarding or experience problem rather than a pricing problem. The calculator lets you test how churn impacts the active-member count you need.

Why does the break-even number assume target margin?

Break-even at zero margin only covers fixed costs, it doesn't return anything to the operator. Break-even at target margin (e.g., 30%) tells you how many members you need to clear fixed costs AND hit your profit target. That's the more useful number for an operator deciding whether to sign a lease.

Are session prices here shown before or after GST?

Yes, toggle the GST checkbox to add 10% to the customer-facing session, pack and membership prices. GST is mandatory once annual turnover hits $75,000 and most fitness operators register from day one for B2B credibility.

Can I save my calculation and share it with my accountant?

Not directly, the calculator runs in-browser only. Take a screenshot of the inputs and outputs to email your accountant, or sign up for OneBookPlus to model real business scenarios with persistent data, member tracking and live margin reporting.
