A win-back campaign targets lapsed monthly members, expired punch card holders, and climbers who haven't been in since the last route reset, with a reason to reconnect that feels useful, not pushy: fresh routes, a new training area, or a come-back offer you approve before anything is sent.","proof_point":"Reactivating a customer is ~5x cheaper than acquiring one, and ~of revenue often comes from repeat customers."},{"icon":"Users","title":"Personalized Outreach at Scale","gradient":"from-blue-500 to-indigo-500","description":"Our team makes calls on your gym's behalf and sends texts and emails in your business's name — real humans handling the judgment, automation handling the scale.
