Clients don't cancel out of nowhere. The decision starts weeks before they send the email, and most businesses miss every sign. Watch this if you want a repeatable system to spot those signs early and get clients back before they're gone.
WellnessLiving gives you the tools to build a real retention system. The Isaac Churn Risk Report uses a machine learning model trained on purchase and visit behavior to flag clients by risk level before they cancel. The Clients at Risk Report lets you filter by visit history, client type, and lapse period. Client Groups auto-update as client status changes, so your win-back campaigns always reach the right people.
This session walks through all of it and gives you a 4-step win-back framework you can put into action today.

What You Will Learn
Identify at-risk clients using the Clients at Risk Report, filtered by visit history, client type, lapse period, and location
Read and act on Isaac Churn Risk scores to prioritize which clients need outreach first
Use the Client Retention by Staff Report to spot drop-off trends and gaps in rebooking before clients reach cancellation
Set up the Daily Tracker Dashboard to surface green flags (birthdays, milestones, VIP status) and yellow flags (unpaid visits, expiring memberships, incomplete waivers) at the start of every shift
Build Client Groups that auto-update based on risk level, visit history, or purchase option status, and connect them directly to Marketing Suite automations
Configure a win-back automation that triggers after 21 days of no visits, personalizes with email variables, and gives clients a low-friction path back to booking
Apply the 4-step win-back framework: identify, personalize, offer support or incentive, and follow up at 7, 14, and 30-day intervals
Choose the right channel for each situation: email for reactivation offers and updates, SMS for high-risk clients needing direct contact, push notifications for white-label app users
To take your first action from this session, open WellnessLiving and go to Reports, then search for Clients at Risk. Set the lapse period to 21 days, filter by active memberships, and review who appears. That list is your starting point for a win-back campaign or a direct personal outreach.
What This Session Covers
Client churn starts weeks before the cancellation notice arrives. This session gives fitness studios, gyms, and wellness businesses a complete system to spot that drift early, reach out with the right message, and bring clients back before they're gone. You'll walk away with a clear picture of which WellnessLiving reports to use, how to set up automated win-back campaigns, and a 4-step framework to follow every time a client goes quiet.
The Reports That Flag Drift Early
The Clients at Risk Report is your primary tool. You can create multiple saved versions filtered by client type, visit history, lapse period, service category, and location. Pair it with the Isaac Churn Risk Report, which uses a machine learning model trained on purchase and visit behavior to output a churn probability score for each client. Use both together to decide where to focus your outreach. For payment-related signals, the Balance Due, Unpaid, and Expiring Credit Cards reports flag friction points before they become cancellations. The Client Retention by Staff Report shows rebooking gaps and retention rates by staff member, which is useful for monthly or quarterly reviews and for empowering staff to own their own retention numbers.
Green, Yellow, and Red Flags in One View
The Daily Tracker Dashboard gives your front desk team one place to see everything that matters before clients walk in. Green flag icons mark birthdays, first visits, visit milestones, and VIP member status. Yellow flags show incomplete waivers, unpaid visits, and expiring memberships, all actionable directly from the dashboard. Red flags from the Clients at Risk and Isaac reports can be pinned to role-specific dashboards so staff members see only the clients in their own book of business. Resolving yellow flags proactively removes friction that would otherwise build toward cancellation.
Building Your Win-Back Automation
Client Groups auto-update based on the criteria you set, so the right clients cycle in and out without manual work. A practical starting point: create a group for clients with no visit in 21 days and an Isaac risk score of high. Connect that group to a win-back automation in Marketing Suite under Automations. Set the trigger to 21 days since last check-in, personalize the email with variables that reference how long they've been away, and include a direct call to action to book their next class. For clients who need a faster response, SMS cuts through inbox noise. White-label app users can receive push notifications directly inside the app.
The 4-Step Win-Back Framework
Step 1: identify at-risk clients using Isaac and the Clients at Risk Report. Step 2: personalize your outreach using email variables and client segmentation. Step 3: offer something meaningful, a discounted class, a guest pass, loyalty points, or a check-in message that shows you noticed they were gone. Step 4: follow up. A 7-day gentle check-in, a 14-day message with a small incentive, and a 30-day reactivation prompt give you three touchpoints before you move on. Tracking performance in the Marketing Campaigns Report shows open rates, click-throughs, and conversion data so you can improve the sequence over time.
