About this episode
🌎 In this week’s episode, John sits down with Nick Palladino-King of Tribe Fitness in San Francisco to unpack how his gyms maintain 95% monthly retention in one of the most competitive markets in the country. We break down the systems behind it: clear retention ownership, weekly attendance reviews, staff incentives, and the small daily actions that spot drop-offs before members cancel.
