Stop The January Churn

Stop The January Churn

December 03, 20252 min read

You know what kills consistency and freedom in a fitness business…

The January client churn 😬

You spend Q4 hustling, bringing in new members, feeling great about the numbers

Then January hits, people drop off, and you’re back to square one trying to fill the gaps

It’s exhausting and completely avoidable if you put the right systems in place now

Retention isn't just about smiling at the door… it's about making sure your clients are committed to the next 90 days of their journey

If they don't see a clear path, they get distracted by the next shiny New Year's offer

So here are 3 simple things you need to implement THIS WEEK to secure your January revenue 👇

1️⃣ The Forward Look Timetable

You need to show your clients their schedule for December AND January

Don't just assume they know what's coming… print it out, email it, put it on the wall

🎄 Christmas Jumpers Day

🎄 Final Workout

🎄 Christmas Open Hours

🎄 First Session Back

🎄 Christmas Party

🎄 Kids Toys Drop Off Chairty Campaign

🎄 Christmas Tree Going up

This visual commitment makes it harder for them to mentally check out when the holidays hit

Simple 🫡

2️⃣ The 2026 Goal Review

Book a 1-on-1, 15-minute chat with every single client before December 15th

Don't talk about their current progress… talk about their goals for 2026

When you align their future vision with your programme, you make yourself indispensable

This conversation is pure gold for retention

3️⃣ The Re-Commitment Offer

Instead of waiting for them to cancel, proactively offer a small incentive to commit to a 6 or 12-month extension now

– Next month for FREE

– A £50 credit towards a new piece of apparel

– A bonus 1-on-1 session with you

You are rewarding commitment and securing that cash flow for Q1

Here's the thing: If you’re still relying on hope and hustle to keep your members, you’ll never break the £15k ceiling

We build these exact retention systems inside the FitPro Incubator

It’s about creating a business that runs predictably, so you can stop worrying about the January drop-off and start planning your next holiday ✈️

If you’re stuck trading time for money and want the systems that guarantee consistency…
