No churn in the model
Without churn the base grows forever. Real studios lose members every month.
Financial model template
Fitness studio financial model template with memberships and churn
A studio earns on a membership base that grows with new sign-ups and shrinks with churn. The template keeps that base month by month, adds trainers, rent and equipment, and shows the January rush and the summer dip.
The model answers
- How many active members you need to cover the hall
- What churn your marketing budget can sustain
- When the equipment pays back
What is inside the template
Each line is a block with plain fields. Change the numbers, delete blocks or add new ones.
- Memberships as a subscription base with new members and monthly churn
- Personal training as separate sales
- Trainers and administrators
- Hall rent, utilities and marketing
- Equipment as a start-up investment
- Seasonality with a January peak
Numbers to watch
- Monthly churn
- The share of members who do not renew. At 10% a month you replace the whole base in under a year.
- Cost of a new member
- Marketing spend divided by new members. Compare it with what a member pays over their lifetime.
- Active members
- The base the hall can serve at peak hours.
- Summer cash
- The dip in visits and renewals in summer is where cash gaps happen.
Common mistakes in this kind of model
Flat year
September and January bring more sign-ups, summer fewer. Seasonality changes when cash runs short.
Forgetting equipment replacement
Machines wear out. Plan a reserve for repairs.
