4 essential metrics every gym owner should track with our platform

Learn which key performance indicators matter most for your fitness business and how to use our platform's data to drive growth and improve member retention.
Running a successful gym is about more than just great equipment and classes; it's about understanding your business and your members. Tracking the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) gives you the insight to make data-driven decisions. Our platform is designed to give you clear, actionable data. Here are four essential metrics you can track to drive growth.
1. Member retention & churn rate
definition: The percentage of members who continue their subscriptions over a specific period versus those who cancel.
why it matters: It's the ultimate measure of member satisfaction and the financial health of your business. High retention means predictable revenue and a strong community. Our Membership Management system provides the data you need to monitor this crucial metric.
actionable tips with our platform:
- Use the Members dashboard to see a clear list of active, expiring, or inactive members.
- Identify members with low check-in frequency who might be at risk of churning.
- Use Announcements to send targeted re-engagement messages or special offers to at-risk cohorts.
2. Class & schedule performance
definition: The popularity and attendance rates of your scheduled classes.
why it matters: This metric tells you what your members want. Underperforming classes take up valuable time slots, while oversubscribed ones are an opportunity for expansion. Our Course Scheduling and Analytics features work together to provide this insight.
actionable tips with our platform:
- Dive into the Analytics dashboard to see which classes have the highest attendance.
- Use this data to optimize your schedule, replacing unpopular classes or adding more sessions for popular ones.
- Announce new, in-demand classes to your members to drive excitement and bookings.
3. Member feedback scores
definition: Direct, multi-dimensional feedback from your members about their experience at your facility.
why it matters: Generic star ratings don't tell you why members are happy or unhappy. Our platform allows members to provide detailed feedback across eight different categories—from cleanliness and equipment to atmosphere and crowding. This gives you a precise roadmap for improvement.
actionable tips with our platform:
- Regularly review the detailed feedback in your Analytics dashboard.
- Identify specific areas that consistently receive low scores and prioritize them for improvement.
- Use positive feedback in your marketing and share it with your staff to boost morale.
4. Member check-in frequency & patterns
definition: How often and at what times your members are using the facility.
why it matters: Check-in data is a powerful indicator of member engagement and facility usage. Are members visiting frequently, or are their visits dropping off? When are your peak hours? This is easily tracked with our QR Code Check-in system.
actionable tips with our platform:
- Monitor check-in trends in the Analytics dashboard to understand your gym's busiest times and plan staffing accordingly.
- Identify members whose check-in frequency has dropped and reach out with a personalized message or offer.
- Use peak hour data to inform decisions about equipment layout or to schedule maintenance during quieter periods.
