How do I get clients?

Personal training is very new to me and I'm getting very frustrated with trying to sell training. I'm a part-time certified personal trainer at a women's only gym. I've only been trying to get clients for a month and I have had no luck. I feel like I've tried everything. I've talked to members about their fitness goals while doing their measurements, but they say they can't afford a trainer. I set up a raffle table offering free 1 hour training and a $20 gift card to Subway. I charged a dollar to members who wanted to enter the raffle and only one member participated. I've tried doing free quick 15-minute circuits and no one was interested. I've passed out buy one get one free session coupons and they were just thrown away. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
