- Athletics Clubs
Train Together. Retain Longer.
Running, jumping, and throwing are individual sports — but training doesn't have to be. Members find training partners, join groups, and build the social bonds that keep them at your club — all inside your club's own branded app.
Estimated potential: $25,000+ additional annual revenue from extended retention alone.
- The Problem
Athletics Clubs Struggle With Isolation & Drop-Off
Athletics is one of the most individual sports. Members train alone, often at different times, and rarely build connections beyond their training group. When motivation dips, there's no social anchor to keep them.
Solo training leads to isolation
Members who train alone are 3x more likely to cancel
No easy way to find training partners
Club notice boards and Facebook groups aren't enough
Seasonal and motivation drop-off
Winter months can see 40-50% reduction in track attendance
