“Automation eliminated all our spreadsheet chaos. Members get automated reminders, booking confirmations, and workout programs. Member retention jumped 35%. Best investment we made.”
The challenge
- Managing schedules across 5 locations in spreadsheets, with errors and double-bookings every week
- Staff spending 3+ hours daily on manual booking confirmations and reminder calls
- High member churn with no automated re-engagement or win-back system
- No centralized view of attendance, retention, or revenue per location
- Workout programs created manually for each member, which did not scale
- No automated payment reminders resulting in missed renewals

- Implemented automated SMS/email reminders 24hrs and 1hr before each class
- Created automated member onboarding with personalized workout program generation
- Developed retention analytics with automated win-back campaigns for at-risk members
- Built attendance tracking with automated instructor and manager reports
- Integrated automated payment renewal reminders and failed payment recovery
