Hi {{first_name}},
I was looking into {{company_name}} and noticed you have built something solid in a market where most independent gyms struggle to keep members past the 90-day mark. That caught my attention.
The fitness industry averages around 30% annual member churn, and for smaller studios and gyms, that number can climb even higher. Most owners end up trapped in a cycle of constantly acquiring new members just to replace the ones walking out the back door.
I work with gym owners who have shifted that dynamic by rethinking how they approach member engagement and retention from day one. A few of them have cut churn by 15-20% within six months, which translated directly into more predictable revenue without increasing their ad spend.
Would it make sense to have a brief conversation about what that could look like for {{company_name}}? Happy to share a couple of ideas that might be relevant to your situation. 8-12% reply rate
