Referral marketing is a powerful way to grow your fitness business by turning your existing clients into promoters.
With Trainerfu, you can easily generate personalized referral links, track who referred whom, and reward clients for bringing in new business.
How Referral Marketing Works
Trainerfu’s referral system is built around training packages.
Each training package has its own signup (registration) link
You will create a personalized version of this signup link for each client (explained below) and share that with them.
When a new client signs up using a referral link, Trainerfu tracks who referred them

What Happens When Someone Refers a Client?
When a referral is successful:
You’ll see a notification in the app when a new client signs up
If the signup came from a referral, it will be clearly indicated
The client who made the referral will automatically receive a thank-you message in chat
Viewing and Managing Referrals
To see all your referrals:
Go to More → Referral Marketing
Here you’ll find:
A list of new clients
Information about who referred them
A “Rewarded” checkbox to track whether you’ve given the referral reward
Rewarding Referrals
To encourage more referrals, it’s a good idea to offer an incentive.
For example:
$50 Amazon gift card
Free training session
Discount on next package
Use the “Rewarded” checkbox to keep track of who has already been rewarded.
Creating Referral Links
There are two ways to generate referral links in Trainerfu:
1. Create a Referral Link for a Single Client
Use this when you want to share a personalized link with one client.
Steps:
Go to the client’s Settings
Copy the Refcode shown at the top
Go to your training package
Copy the signup page link
Add the refcode to the end of the URL like this:
?ref=REFCODE
Example:
https://yourpackagepage.com/signup?ref=abc123
Share this link with the client
2. Send Referral Links to a Group
This is the easiest way to scale referrals.
Steps:
Go to the Groups tab
Send a group message (or schedule one)
Include the training package signup link in the message
✅ Trainerfu will automatically:
Generate a unique referral link for each client
Send each client their personalized version
Automate Referral Messages
You can also automate this process:
Create a scheduled group message
Include the training package link
Set timing (e.g., 1 day after joining the group)
This way:
Every new client automatically receives their referral link
No manual tracking or follow-ups needed
Best Practices
Offer a clear reward to motivate referrals
Remind clients periodically about the program
Use scheduled messages to automate outreach
Track rewards using the “Rewarded” checkbox
If you want, I can also:
Make this more “marketing friendly” (less instructional, more persuasive)
Add screenshots-style sections
Or shorten it into an in-app tooltip version
