Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do not compete on price—compete on outcomes, community, and experience. Budget gyms have high churn and low engagement. Emphasize personal attention, quality equipment, and the community that keeps members coming back.

Strong onboarding is critical. Create 30-60-90 day engagement sequences. Offer goal-setting sessions. Build social connections through classes or challenges. Members who form habits and relationships do not quit.

Important but not as critical as some services. Prospective members often visit to evaluate facilities. Reviews should address cleanliness, equipment quality, atmosphere, and staff friendliness.

Gyms typically invest 5-10% of revenue in marketing. For a gym generating $1M annually, expect $50K-100K. Higher investment during peak motivation periods (December-February) maximizes new member acquisition.
