Every summer, gym owners start talking about lead generation.
And rightly so.
Holidays, weddings, BBQs and weekends away can all have an impact on member numbers.
But here’s something worth remembering…
The easiest member to keep is often easier than finding a brand new one.
That doesn’t mean lead generation stops.
Far from it.
The best fitness businesses do both:
✔ Keep attracting new people through the door
✔ Work hard to keep their existing members engaged, accountable and consistent
Summer is a great time to:
* Run member challenges
* Reward attendance
* Create social events
* Check in with quieter members
* Keep your community strong
Because if you can hold onto more members and continue bringing new people in…
September becomes a whole lot more exciting 👊
What’s one thing you do to improve retention during the summer months?
