Churn eats every join
A club adding a hundred members and losing ninety is running very hard to stand still. Retention is worth more than acquisition and gets a fraction of the attention.

Selling memberships is the easy half. Keeping them past week six is the entire business, and almost nobody markets to that.

Four problems we see in almost every gyms & health clubs business we look at. None of them are marketing problems in the way agencies usually mean it.
A club adding a hundred members and losing ninety is running very hard to stand still. Retention is worth more than acquisition and gets a fraction of the attention.
Members who don't establish a habit early cancel later. Onboarding sequences and early check-ins change the curve more than any promotion.
Day passes and free weeks bring people in and then nothing happens. Structured trial-to-member follow-up is usually missing entirely.
Everything is bet on one month. Off-peak campaigns and referral programmes smooth demand and cost far less per join.
Typical gyms & health clubs build
Six of twenty-three.
Drawn from the five pillars, weighted toward trial conversion and churn rather than quoting. The blueprint confirms it.
Thirty minutes, no deck. We look at where enquiries are arriving, how fast they get answered and what happens to the ones that don’t book. If the numbers don’t support building this yet, we say so — that call has been the whole conversation more than once.
Book a discovery callThe blueprint locks scope, price and dates before you commit to the build. Everything after that is execution.
Thirty minutes. We find where the work is leaking — usually slow follow-up, enquiries nobody answered, or a dead database. If we can’t help, we say so on the call.
30 minutesA fixed-scope plan: which pillars you need, what gets built, what gets managed, what it costs and when it lands. No surprises after this point.
3–5 daysBrand, site, photography, automations and integrations. You see it working before you sign off, and it goes in your name from day one.
4–8 weeksAccounts, documentation and a session with your team. Everything you paid for is yours. We are not a dependency.
1 weekOngoing SEO, ads, social, email and reporting — or we hand you the keys and you run it in-house. Both are real options.
Month to monthMost businesses start with the build and add the monthly once it’s live. You can also do either on its own — the assets are yours whichever way you go.
one-time — and every asset is yours
monthly — month to month after 90 days
Doing fewer than about twenty leads a month? This won’t pay for itself yet, and we’ll tell you that on the call rather than after the invoice.
Thirty minutes, no deck. We’ll scope it live and tell you on the call if it isn’t worth doing yet.
Thirty minutes. We’ll find where the work is leaking — unsold estimates, response time, or a database nobody has touched in three years — and what it would cost to fix. If it isn’t worth it yet, we’ll tell you that instead.
No sequence, no newsletter. One reply from the person who’d build it.
