The KPI Blueprint: What Boutique Fitness Owners Actually Need to Track

Welcome to this bonus podcast episode! When it comes to KPIs, studio owners typically fall into extremes. They either track everything and get overwhelmed—or nothing at all and are unaware of the true health of their business.

In Episode 688: The KPI Blueprint: What Boutique Fitness Owners Actually Need to Track, Alina Cooper and Heather Garrick identify exactly which metrics are critical to watch.

Leverage leads: check how many, where they’re from, conversion and time to purchase
Check your pulse: study retention and churn rates as the heartbeat of your business
Monitor the money: know your monthly recurring revenue, expenses and profit
Know their worth: calculate your client’s average lifetime value, which drives revenue
Make it happen: schedule a weekly KPI hour to identify issues and monitor trends

When you keep eyes on the right data as a studio owner, you get valuable insights to make informed decisions. Unlock power and peace of mind in Episode 688.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
