For gyms
Email marketing for gyms, fitness and yoga studios
Members rarely leave because of price. They leave because they stop coming. A friendly email with the new timetable, a member's story or a challenge keeps people turning up, and a well-timed offer brings lapsed members back.
4 emails every gym should send
New timetable
This month's classes in a clear list, with a button to book.
Monthly challenge
30 days of something, with a leaderboard in the studio. Email starts it and keeps it going.
Member story
A short interview with a member and their progress. Motivating and real.
Come back offer
For people who haven't visited in a while: a free class or a week on you.

Questions
How do I stop gym members cancelling?
Keep in touch when they're not coming in: the timetable, challenges, member stories. A friendly nudge when someone's been away for a few weeks works better than a discount when they cancel.
Should a fitness studio send weekly emails?
If you have new classes or content each week, yes. Otherwise fortnightly is fine.
