7 February 2025
Let's talk about something that's transforming fitness studios across the globe. No, it's not a new workout trend or fancy equipment - it's something much more powerful.
In this case study, we’ll show you how fitness studios add $40K in just 90 days—all while their teams do less work.
Before we begin…
The reality of running a fitness studio
If you're running a studio, this might sound familiar: Your team is drowning in follow-up emails, client messages are slipping through the cracks, and there's never enough time to focus on what really matters - your members.
That's exactly where 47 fitness studios found themselves until they discovered something that changed everything.
The secret weapon: Kenko Journeys
Think of Journeys as your studio's communication command center. It's a multi-path, multi-channel automation powerhouse that ensures your message reaches the right person at the right time through the right channel. Whether email, SMS, or push notifications, every communication is perfectly timed and personalized.
But don't just take my word for it.
Here are three stories that will make you rethink everything you know about studio automation
The studio that doubled its revenue overnight
One studio in Hong Kong decided to go all-in with automation. They automated everything - from lead nurturing to payment reminders.
The result? An incredible $48,000 in additional revenue within six months. Zero manual follow-ups needed.
A pole studio that tripled the industry's average conversion rate
Here's a story you'll love. This pole studio achieved what most consider impossible:
63% of leads becoming members (industry average is 20%)
87% of their SMS messages getting opened
65% of recipients clicking through
And they saved over 3 hours per lead nurture sequence
Their secret? A perfectly orchestrated 3-week journey:
Days 1-3: Educational content breaking pole fitness myths
Days 4-7: Engaging app download campaign
Strategic check-ins at key moments
Just when we thought it couldn't get better, a yoga studio showed us what's really possible.
The yoga retreat that sold out overnight
This is the story of a yoga studio that completely flipped the script on how retreat bookings usually work.
Instead of the typical last-minute rush to fill spots and expensive marketing, they built an automated journey that rewarded loyal members with VIP early access and exclusive pricing, creating such buzz weeks before launch that the retreat sold out before it was even announced to the general public. The result?
Sold out their most profitable offering in 24 hours
Locked in 45% of bookings through VIP early access
All while their team focused on teaching, not selling
Their automations didn't just send emails - it orchestrated a complete experience. It's a perfect example of how the right automation can transform not just your revenue but your entire approach to member engagement.
(Crazy but true) The shocking numbers behind 47 success stories
When we first started collecting data from these studios, even we were skeptical. Could automation really make that much of a difference? The results left us speechless.
What makes these numbers even more impressive is that they came from studios of all sizes, specialties, and locations. From boutique yoga studios to large fitness centers, the pattern was undeniable.
Here's what the data revealed when we looked at all 47 studios:
Average revenue increase: $40,000 in just 90 days (yes, really!)
Top performers: $129,112 average increase
Hours saved: Hundreds per month per studio
But here's what's truly fascinating: these weren't just temporary spikes. The studios maintained and even improved these numbers over time.
Why this actually works

Meeting members where they are (email, SMS, or app)
Delivering messages when they're most likely to engage
Personalizing every interaction automatically
Freeing your team to do what they do best - build relationships
Warning: This isn't for everyone….
