Introduction
If you’re an online coach, nutritionist, or personal trainer, figuring out how to price your coaching packages can feel like a balancing act. Set prices too high, and you risk scaring clients away. Too low, and you undervalue your expertise. The good news? With the right strategies, you can create packages that attract clients, maximize revenue, and scale your business confidently.
Here are 10 proven coaching package pricing strategies that actually work, with real-world examples and actionable tips you can start using today.
Top 10 Pricing Strategies
1. Tiered Packages
2. Monthly Subscriptions
3. Hybrid Pricing
4. Free Trial Conversions
5. Founding Member Discounts
6. Anchor Pricing
7. Bundled Services
8. Seasonal Promotions
9. Pay-in-Full Discounts
10. Group Coaching Packages
1. Tiered Packages (Good, Better, Best)
Offering multiple tiers of service gives clients options without overwhelming them. Research shows that three options is the sweet spot, too many choices cause paralysis, but too few limits conversions.
Example: Bronze = group coaching only, Silver = group + check-ins, Gold = full 1:1 coaching.
A HubSpot study found that adding a mid-tier option can increase sales by 30% because most clients pick the “middle ground.”
2. Monthly Subscriptions
The most common and predictable model. Clients pay a flat fee monthly for continued access to coaching.
Example: $199/month for training + nutrition support.
Predictable recurring revenue makes planning and scaling much easier.
Subscriptions increase retention
SaaS benchmarks show average churn drops by 20% with recurring billing compared to one-time sales.
3. Hybrid Pricing (One-Time + Subscription)
Combine a setup fee with an ongoing subscription. Great for covering upfront time costs.
Example: $100 onboarding fee + $149/month ongoing coaching.
Clients feel invested upfront, making them more likely to stay committed.
According to behavioral economics, clients who pay a setup fee are 18% less likely to churn because of sunk cost commitment.
4. Free Trial Conversions
Free trials lower the barrier to entry and can significantly boost conversions.
Example: 7-day free trial of your fitness app, then $99/month.
SaaS data shows that trials can increase sign-ups by up to 66%, especially if paired with a strong onboarding flow.
5. Founding Member Discounts
Reward early adopters with lifetime discounts. Creates urgency and loyalty.
Example: First 20 clients get $50 off per month forever.
Limited-time founding offers generate FOMO. In fact
Scarcity Marketing Institute reports scarcity tactics increase conversions by 31%.
6. Anchor Pricing
Position a higher-priced package next to your mid-range package to make it look more attractive.
Example: $999 VIP Package vs. $299 Standard Package, most clients will choose $299.
Behavioral science calls this the “contrast effect”, when given a high anchor, clients perceive the mid-tier as better value.
7. Bundled Services
Package training, nutrition, and accountability check-ins together at a premium price.
Example: Training + nutrition + weekly video calls = $399/month.
Bundles increase perceived value.
A McKinsey study found bundled offerings can raise revenue by 10–30%.
8. Seasonal Promotions
Run time-limited offers around events or seasons (New Year, Summer Shred, Back-to-School).
Example: “New Year Reset – $100 off for January sign-ups.”
According to CXL Institute, urgency-based promotions can improve conversion rates by 60%.
9. Pay-in-Full Discounts
Offer savings for clients who commit upfront to 3, 6, or 12 months.
Example: $199/month or $999 if paid upfront for 6 months.
Improves your cash flow while rewarding client commitment.
Subscription data shows upfront payments reduce churn by 40% because clients are financially committed long-term.
10. Group Coaching Packages
Leverage scale by offering group coaching at a lower price per client while increasing your overall revenue.
Example: $99/month for group calls + community access.
