Reduce Churn & Keep Members Motivated—
Automated Fitness Marketing
Battling high member churn and inconsistent attendance? Quick Hub runbooks automate welcome sequences, class reminders, retention check-ins, and referral rewards—keeping members engaged and coming back without extra manual work.
High Member Churn, Inconsistent Attendance, & Crowded Inboxes
Gyms and fitness studios face New Year's resolution drop-offs and seasonal membership fluctuations. Keeping people motivated and returning is hard when members have countless workout options competing for their attention.
High Member Churn
New Year's sign-ups quickly drop off—80% of new members quit within 5 months. Keeping members engaged and motivated is a constant battle.
Inconsistent Attendance
Members sign up with enthusiasm but stop showing up. Tracking attendance drops and re-engaging inactive members manually is time-consuming.
Crowded Fitness Market
Members choose between gyms, boutique studios, classes, and home apps—inboxes are flooded with fitness messages. Standing out requires personalized communication.
Personalized Engagement at Every Stage of the Member Journey
Runbooks automate welcome sequences, class reminders, attendance tracking, and re-engagement campaigns—delivering a human touch through tailored emails and SMS while letting owners focus on coaching, not marketing.
High-Impact Welcome Sequences
Welcome emails have 91% open rates—capture eager newcomers immediately with facility tours, trainer intros, free class offers, scheduling next session.
Automated Class Reminders
Send class reminders, schedule changes, cancellation notices—reduce no-shows from 25% to 10% with 24hr and 2hr SMS reminders.
Attendance-Triggered Re-Engagement
Track visits automatically—if member hasn't checked in for 20-30 days, trigger "We miss you at Yoga 101!" email with free-class pass incentive.
