#18 Reducing Churn for Jiu Jitsu Academies and Gyms | Blue Belt Blues and Beyond


Listen Later

Academies vs. boxes. Committed clubs vs. belt tracking.

CrossFit and Jiu-Jitsu fitness businesses may focus on different sports and talk different languages, but they still face the same biggest challenge: churn.

On this episode of the PushPress Podcast, Dan and Nick explore how Jiu Jitsu academies and CrossFit gyms can address retention issues using creative strategies, like Committed Clubs and data-driven tracking systems. Miguel Jurado, PushPress Account Executive and BJJ blue belt, joins the discussion, bringing insight from working closely with Checkmat Academy.

Together, they also examine cross-industry learnings where gyms and academies can borrow from each other to minimize churn, set engaging goals, and cultivate deeper member loyalty.

In this episode, you'll learn how tools like belt-tracking software and short-term reward systems can keep members motivated, whether they’re earning belts or striving for fitness goals.
