Reviving retention and growth for a premium gym

Retention strategy CRM & lifecycle Performance marketing

Situation

A premium fitness brand in Pune was acquiring new members steadily but losing a growing share of them within a few months, eroding the lifetime value of every new sign-up.

Scope and ownership

I owned the retention strategy end to end, working across CRM data, lifecycle messaging, and the acquisition campaigns feeding the top of the funnel.

Action

Rebuilt the CRM setup to flag at-risk members based on usage patterns, and put lifecycle campaigns in place to re-engage them before they lapsed. Paired this with tighter acquisition targeting so incoming members better matched the brand's actual retention profile.

Result

Churn rate dropped 75%, turning a leaking funnel into a stable, growing member base.
