All figures in this report are illustrative. Your data will show where your numbers actually land.

Eight heterogenous profiles means eight playbooks.

Members with multiple activity anchors generate the revenue to sustain the club. Members who connect with a second or third anchor within their first weeks retain at nearly 2× the rate of single-anchor members.

The Anchor

~12% of members

Avg 3-Year CLV: $9,700

Multi-activity engagement across dining, fitness, recreation, and events. Long-plan holder. Attends member-exclusive events. Refers new members regularly. Membership is integrated into their regular life rhythm.

Risk: Anchors churn at low rates, and their departure is typically preceded by a period of feeling unrecognized. Personal acknowledgment is a retention investment with measurable referral returns.

Action: Personal acknowledgment at milestones (Year 1, Year 2). Early access to new programming. Recognition at member appreciation events. Activate their referral potential with a structured program.

The Activator

~18% of members

Avg 3-Year CLV: $7,200 when activated

New member, months 1–4. Joined with intent and connected to one activity so far. Emotional commitment deepens with each additional anchor activity discovered. This is the highest-leverage window in the membership lifecycle.

Risk: Members with a single anchor by month 4 carry a 48% churn probability at month 6. Members who establish a second anchor before month 4 carry a 19% churn probability at month 6.

Action: Proactive 30-day check-in. Personal invitation to one member-exclusive event before month 3. Staff introduction to a secondary activity matched to their profile.

The Routine

~24% of members

Avg 3-Year CLV: $5,300

Consistent and predictable. Shows up on a reliable schedule within one primary activity category, with limited engagement outside their established pattern. Steady revenue, moderate engagement.

Risk: Single-activity members carry higher churn exposure during schedule disruptions, seasonal transitions, or life events.

Action: Seasonal outreach toward adjacent activities. Event invitations timed to their usual visit window. Personal staff conversations at their regular point of use.

The Pauser

~9% of members

Avg 3-Year CLV: $3,100 without re-engagement

Seasonal or Monthly plan holder with a recent pause or sharp engagement drop in the past 30 days. Life events — travel, work, family — drive most pauses.

Risk: 52% of Seasonal members who pause remain inactive beyond 90 days without a personal outreach.

Action: Pause confirmation message with a forward-looking re-engagement hook. Personal re-welcome contact at the 45-day mark. Complimentary visit to reduce re-entry friction.

The Fader

~14% of members

High churn probability within 60 days

Annual or longer-plan member with no recorded activity in 21 or more days. Still paying. A value perception gap has opened between the membership fee and the member's felt benefit.

Risk: Faders reach renewal with low intent to continue. The decision typically finalizes 30–60 days before the renewal date.

Action: Personal call or text at the 21-day inactivity mark. Activity-specific reconnect message tied to something they previously engaged with.

The Ghost

~4% of members

Act within 72 hours

Billing failure with membership technically active. Most members are unaware. This is an administrative rescue opportunity — the member relationship remains intact.

Risk: Payment Ghosts contacted within 72 hours recover at 88%. Recovery rate drops to 41% after day 7.

Action: Immediate automated SMS with a billing update link. Personal call at day 3. Lead with access continuity: "We want to make sure your membership stays active."

How members arrive — and what that predicts.

Not all acquisition paths produce the same member. The entry point predicts 12-month retention with meaningful accuracy.

Guest Entry PointAvg Visits Before JoinConv. Rate12-Mo Retention
Referred by existing member1.234%82%
Attended a member-priority event1.819%74%
Kids or family programming2.016%79%
Regular dining guest (3+ visits)2.314%68%
Recurring public social event3.111%61%
Online or social media only1.06%44%

The Dining Discovery

3-Yr CLV: $9,200 avg12-Mo Retention: 76%

Path: Visited as a public dining guest → observed a member receiving visible preferential treatment → initiated a membership discussion with staff → joined within 2 weeks.

Action: Dining team members trained to open the membership discussion at the benefit interaction generate consistent acquisition from existing traffic.

The Online Sign-Up

3-Yr CLV: $2,900 avg12-Mo Retention: 42%

Path: Discovered the club via social media or website → signed up online → arrived for first in-person visit after joining → received no personal onboarding contact.

Action: A personal welcome call within 48 hours of sign-up is the primary retention intervention for this journey. One prompted in-person visit in month 1 raises 12-month retention by 34 percentage points.

The Referral Recruit

3-Yr CLV: $10,100 avg12-Mo Retention: 82%

Path: Invited to the club by an existing member → attended an event or activity together → joined within 30 days of first visit.

Action: Referral programs that sustain the connection between referrer and recruit — joint event invitations, paired activity access, visible recognition of the referring member — improve performance by an estimated 40%.

The Family Joiner

3-Yr CLV: $10,600 avg12-Mo Retention: 79%

Path: Discovered the club through kids or family programming → parent engaged with dining or recreation during the same visit → converted to a multi-person household plan.

Action: Reliability and consistency in family programming directly supports adult membership retention. Any reduction in kids programming availability produces a measurable churn increase.

Estimated CAC by acquisition channel.

The channel with the highest CLV-to-CAC ratio is typically the member referral program. The second-highest is typically in-person guest conversion.

CLV figures reflect sample member spend including dining, recreation, and events.

The single strongest predictor of 12-month retention.

The single strongest predictor of 12-month retention is whether a new member adds a second activity category before month four. Members who do not add a second category by month four typically show a churn probability of 48% by month six.

Action If Confirmed

Personal outreach at day 30. Direct invitation to one member-exclusive event before month three. Staff introduction to a second category based on the member's recorded primary activity.
