Reduce Churn by Fixing the Issues Members Actually Care About

Actual Active helps fitness clubs resolve member-reported problems — fast, visibly, and effectively.

More loyalty. Less churn. Greater profit.

Understanding the Scale of Member Churn

Despite a booming market projected to surpass $200 billion by 2030, fitness clubs face a persistent and costly battle with member attrition. The data reveals a "leaky bucket" where high churn rates undermine growth and profitability.

29-40%

Average Annual Churn Rate

A significant portion of a gym's member base is lost each year, forcing continuous, costly acquisition efforts.

6-8

Months of Average Membership

The typical member journey is short, with over 50% of new members quitting within the first six months.

5-10x

More to Acquire vs. Retain

Retaining an existing member is vastly more cost-effective than acquiring a new one, making churn reduction a key profit lever.

The Cost of Inaction

For a 1,000-member gym with 35% annual churn, that's 350 lost members per year. At $50/month average revenue, that's $210,000 in lost annual revenue that could be retained.

The Root Causes of Churn

Member attrition isn't random—it's driven by predictable factors that clubs can identify and address. Understanding these root causes is the first step toward building a retention-focused operation.

Lack of Motivation

Members lose sight of their fitness goals or struggle to maintain motivation without proper support and encouragement.

Impact: High - Often leads to gradual disengagement
Poor Social Connection

Members who don't feel part of a community or build relationships at the gym are more likely to quit.

Impact: High - Community drives long-term retention
Perceived Value Mismatch

When members don't see the value in their membership relative to the cost, they're quick to cancel.

Impact: Medium - Price sensitivity varies by segment
Life Changes

Job changes, relocations, family situations, or health issues can disrupt fitness routines and lead to cancellations.

Impact: Medium - Often unavoidable but manageable
