The February Gym Member Activation Playbook

February is one of the most telling months for gym owners. January brings motivation, but February shows who’s building habits and who’s slipping. Work gets busy, routines get harder, progress slows, and without attention, members drift away.

This playbook outlines a clear four-step system to re-engage members, maintain January momentum, and protect revenue before the next seasonal spike.
