To Tony's point of structuring it in a way for the free person to be part of the community and not just freeloaders. One example I always liked was having a free table up front where anyone can work there for free but once all of the seats were taken then that was that. It limited the number of free people while allowing people to constantly come in to try out the space and be part of the community. I bet some people use the free table for a few weeks and enjoy the space and eventually move into a paid membership once they can or when they show up and no more room is available a few too many times.
I personally did a Beta Opening for 2 weeks before I opened to get people excited about the space and clearly stated that a membership was required at the top of the month as our official opening. I offer a free day pass for any new people on their first visit and do a free day for anyone in Denver once a month (this is mostly for one day/week members to help them cross paths if they always come on different days of the week). This combination of free seems to work well for us but I admit that's it not very creative and there could be more fun ways to do it.
