Email Marketing for Fitness Studios & Gyms

Your CRM is full of ex-members.
Right now they're worth $0.

Johnny Bake turns the lapsed members, dead leads, and unconverted trials already sitting in your Mindbody, Glofox, or Zen Planner into paying members again — with email sequences built for fitness businesses.

No call required. You get a 5-minute video breakdown of your email funnel — keep it either way.

The Problem

Churn never stops. Your follow-up already did.

Most studios pour money into getting new leads while a goldmine sits untouched: years of ex-members and trial no-shows collected by your booking software. They already know you. They already trained with you. Nobody has emailed them in months — or ever.

Three ways to turn your list back into revenue

Everything runs inside the software you already use — no migrations, no new tools, no ripping anything out.

Start here

Win-Back Campaign

A one-time project that clears the backlog of lapsed members and turns dead contacts into paying members again.

  • Full list clean-up & deliverability scrub
  • Segmentation by how recently they lapsed
  • 4–6 email reactivation sequence, written for your studio's voice
  • Offer strategy that protects your pricing
  • Results report: members recovered, revenue attributed

Flat project fee → see pricing

Lead & Trial Nurture

Trial conversion is where studios live or die. We build the sequences that stop new leads from rotting in your inbox.

  • Lead-to-trial booking sequence
  • Trial-to-member conversion sequence
  • No-show and ghosted-trial recovery
  • Welcome & onboarding emails for new members
  • Installed as automations that run 24/7

Retention Retainer

Churn is continuous — so is this. We own your retention math, month after month, and report it in dollars.

  • At-risk member sequences (attendance drops → we act)
  • Rolling 60/90-day win-back for the newly lapsed
  • 4–6 campaign sends: challenges, events, referrals, seasonal pushes
  • Continuous tuning of every automation
  • Monthly attribution report: members saved, revenue recovered

The Math

This isn't marketing spend. It's found money.

Ads ask you to buy strangers' attention. We monetize an asset you already own — and the numbers are conservative on purpose.

A typical win-back campaign

Take a studio with 1,000 lapsed contacts in its CRM. A properly segmented reactivation sequence typically brings 2–3% of them back through the door. Each returning member sticks around for roughly six months on average. Against a flat project fee, that's around a 10x return — from a list that was earning you nothing.

How It Works

From free audit to running system in about 30 days

1

Free video audit

Send us your studio name. We go through your trial funnel and email flow like a real prospect would, then send you a 5-minute video breakdown of what's leaking — and what your list is worth. No call, no pitch deck. Keep it either way.

2

Win-back campaign

We scrub and segment your list inside your existing software, write the reactivation sequence, and run it. Two to three weeks later you get a report with names, numbers, and revenue attributed.

3

Keep the drain plugged

Members lapse every month — so reactivation can't be a one-off. On retainer, we run your at-risk saves, rolling win-backs, campaigns, and nurture sequences, and report results in dollars every month.

Fit

We're honest about who this works for

Email retention is math. If the volume isn't there, we'll tell you — and suggest a lighter option instead of selling you a retainer you don't need.

Great fit

  • Studios and gyms with 150+ current members
  • A year or more of history in Mindbody, Glofox, Zen Planner, PushPress, Wodify, or similar
  • Real lead flow: trials, web forms, ClassPass, challenges
  • Boutique fitness, CrossFit, martial arts, yoga/pilates, big-box independents

Probably not yet

  • Brand-new studios with no contact history to work with
  • Very small lists (under a few hundred contacts) — a one-time project makes more sense than a retainer
  • Businesses that don't collect emails at all (we can help you start, but results come later)
FAQ

Common questions

Can't my booking software just do this automatically?

Mindbody, Glofox, and the rest technically have automation features — that's exactly why this works. The sequences exist but they're unconfigured, unwritten, and unmeasured in almost every studio. We're the ones who actually build them, write them, and prove they made you money.

Do I need to switch software or buy a new email tool?

No. We work inside whatever you already use. No migrations, no new subscriptions, no learning curve for your front desk.

Won't emailing old contacts hurt my sender reputation?

Blasting a stale list would — which is why every project starts with a deliverability scrub and recency segmentation. We warm the list properly instead of nuking it.

Will you discount my memberships to win people back?

Only strategically, and never as the default. Win-back offers are built around low-cost re-entry points — a comeback week, a bring-a-friend pass, a challenge — that protect your core pricing.

How do I know it's working?

Every campaign and every retainer month closes with an attribution report: how many members were reactivated or saved, and what that's worth in dollars. If the invoice isn't a rounding error next to the recovered revenue, we'll be the first to say so.

What does it cost?

Flat project fees for win-back campaigns, straightforward monthly retainers, and a performance-only pilot if you'd rather pay per recovered member. Full details on the pricing page.
