Booked. Attended. Paid. Cancelled.
Four facts, all of them retrospective. Enough to report on last month. Not enough to change next month.
Available to every tool in the category, equally.
Every retention tool in this category reads the same source: bookings, check-ins, payments. All three are records of the past. You can dress that up with a model on top and it is still a very good description of a member you have already lost.
A member who has stopped booking has already decided. A member still turning up, but lifting lighter than they did in March, sleeping badly for three weeks and quietly dropping their third session, has not decided yet. That is the window, and a booking system cannot see into it.
Diagram, not a screenshot. It shows the shape of the two signals, not one member's actual numbers.

Because the member trains through the app, the studio owns the training record — and every member is measured against their own baseline, not a fixed rule.
Available only if the training runs through the same system.
At one studio we run, 55% of the members who left were gone inside four sessions. Not month seven. Month one. Every retention report that studio had was built on people who had been around long enough to have a pattern — so the biggest leak in the business was invisible by construction.
Our first churn number counted a member going on hold as a member lost. It read 9.9%, which is a much more dramatic slide to point at in a demo. It was also wrong. Counted properly, it is 4.5%.
We changed the product rather than keep the number that made the problem look bigger. That is the whole basis on which you should decide whether to believe anything else on this site.
The demo is twenty minutes and it works best if you arrive sceptical.
