Summer can be an unpredictable time for those of us in the gym and fitness studio owners. Fitness-related memberships in July are at their lowest industry average, but it can feel like a complete gym summer slowdown that drags on if you’re not prepared. The key is a dual focus on both retention and new sales – boost gym membership sales while also keeping member retention high.

Let's agree that you want to keep those members happy and committed so they don't become someone else's dream members. With the holidays approaching, it's the perfect time to focus on increasing your gym's member retention and making your clients feel appreciated.

Do you have 30 minutes to create a free fitness studio marketing event that could bring a ton of new leads to your business? It will cost you next to nothing, and it’s great for member morale. It’s also my favorite way to get a ton of new faces in the studio during a typically slow time - especially right before your amazing Black Friday sale.
