The fitness industry is often obsessed with member acquisition, but Alloy Personal Training Franchise stands out with a metric that truly matters: client retention.

Sure, we love seeing new faces walk through our doors, but one measurement of success that stands out is how long they stay a part of our community.

Our average client sticks with us for a remarkable 36 months, and there's a reason for that.

One of these reasons is that we intentionally keep our studios small to make it really personal training, not just in name.

This means the trainers know more than just the client’s fitness goals—they will know much more about the clients, which helps foster real friendships between members, turning sessions into something to look forward to, not dread.

Accountability is way more powerful when it comes from other members. This kind of community makes consistency a whole lot easier (and more fun!).

Building this type of gym culture isn't a quick fix. It takes a relentless focus on the member's experiences. But the results are powerful: loyal clients who become your best advocates, reduced churn, and the satisfaction of knowing your gym truly makes a difference in people's lives.
