	Description:		Does your gym really need more clients? What if you just kept current members longer? In this episode of "Run a Profitable Gym," host Mike Warkentin sits down with Two-Brain mentor Brian Foley, whose gym Activate has over 360 clients and 27-month average length of engagement. Brian walks through the full retention system that makes his client count possible, starting with marketing to the right avatar and running a No Sweat Intro that filters for fit. He explains how his team uses a weekly review to identify at-risk clients before they consider canceling, as well as automated check-ins to keep individual goals front and center in a large gym. You’ll also hear about his top client acquisition strategy—quarterly bring-a-friend events that add 40 to 50 new members per year at virtually no cost—and how referrals, organic social media and a modest ad spend work together to keep his pipeline full. If you're tired of "filling a leaky bucket," watch this episode and learn how to increase your client count by building a gym no one wants to leave.
