Show them where to go, whom to check in with and what the first visit includes. Keep the welcome separate from fitness-result promises. ![Exercise bikes in an empty gym](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/gym.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Tima Miroshnichenko / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-exercise-equipment-on-gray-floor-6389865/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Walk through the first appointment Follow a sample introduction or trial appointment. Show the entrance, the person to check in with, and the next step in that specific visit. Identify separately booked services clearly. Keep exercise instruction outside this general orientation so the film does not imply that one routine suits every viewer. ## Useful starting material Use your membership or trial plans, booking screens, studio images and approved program descriptions. Ask the staff who handle these inquiries to check the sequence, especially any point where the customer needs to choose or confirm something. ![Reformer machines in a bright Pilates studio](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/pilates.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Karl Solano / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/an-empty-gym-equipments-11036670/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Try it with a first-time customer Send it with the appointment confirmation and add it to the new-member page. Ask a first-time viewer where they'd go and what help they'd expect. If they assume personal coaching comes with a different membership, fix the labels. Individual goals and program choices still belong in a staff conversation. ## Related reading - [Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [Help buyers recognize the controls on cardio equipment](https://caprivideo.com/industries/ecommerce/home-cardio-product-videos) ## Related pages - [Industry group: Local businesses & retail](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail) - [A little more background: Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [A gentle guide to contacting a funeral home](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/funeral-home-explainer-videos): Explain how the first conversation begins, with a measured pace and room for individual questions. - [Help guests find their way on arrival](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/hotel-and-venue-explainer-videos): A simple map and the correct entrance can answer practical hotel or venue questions before guests travel. - [Prepare new clients for their first salon visit](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/hair-salon-explainer-videos): Consultation, services, booking: a short film shows new clients how a first visit to your salon works and how to pick the right appointment. - [Explain treatments without overpromising](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/beauty-salon-explainer-videos): Show how a treatment runs, how long it takes and what clients should know before and after. - [Reserve, order, pick up: show guests how it works](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/restaurant-explainer-videos): Show guests how reservations, pre-orders or private events work at your restaurant, and take pressure off the phone. - [Build trust before the first visit](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/jewelry-store-explainer-videos): Custom work, redesigns, repairs: show customers how a jewelry order runs and what happens to their piece. ## See your offer as a video We create a free watermarked video for your business from your website.
