Gym Owner Pricing & Strategy Advisory Service

A boutique consulting service where a team of 2-3 fitness industry operators and data analysts work with gym owners quarterly to analyze their competitive position, model pricing scenarios, and recommend membership tier adjustments, promotional strategies, and retention tactics based on local competitor moves and their own unit economics. Each engagement includes a 2-hour strategy session, a custom competitive analysis report, and 30 days of email support for implementation.

Value Proposition

Faster decision-making than hiring a full-time analyst.

Original Problem

Fitness gym operators struggle to accurately forecast membership trends and compete against low-cost alternatives

Planet Fitness and traditional gym chains face intense pressure to understand competitive positioning and member retention as consumer discretionary spending becomes volatile. Gym operators lack real-time insights into how their Q1 performance compares to competitors, making it difficult to adjust pricing, marketing, and retention strategies before losing members to cheaper alternatives or home fitness solutions.
