Overview

Apex Private, an exclusive boutique fitness studio in Montreal's prestigious Westmount district, approached Obsidian Growth Group with a unique challenge: they wanted to scale their membership while maintaining their exclusive, high-end positioning. Despite offering world-class personal training and premium facilities, they were struggling to attract and retain members willing to pay premium prices for their services. Our team developed a comprehensive membership growth strategy that focused on building a strong community brand, implementing sophisticated retention systems, and creating a referral-driven growth engine that aligned with their luxury positioning.

The Challenge

- Limited membership growth despite premium positioning - High membership churn rate affecting revenue stability - Difficulty justifying premium pricing to potential members - Lack of systematic member acquisition process - Minimal digital presence and community engagement - No structured referral or retention programs

Our Solution

- Complete brand repositioning as Montreal's most exclusive fitness community - Implementation of a sophisticated membership funnel with trial experiences - Development of a strong social media presence showcasing member transformations - Creation of a structured referral program with exclusive member benefits - Email automation for member onboarding, engagement, and retention - Premium content creation including workout videos and nutrition guides - Strategic partnerships with luxury brands and local businesses - Member experience optimization and community building initiatives

The Results

224% increase in active memberships (85 to 275+)

68% reduction in membership churn rate

156% increase in monthly recurring revenue

Obsidian Growth Group helped us build more than just a fitness studio - they helped us create an exclusive community. The membership growth has been incredible, but more importantly, we've built a loyal community of members who truly value what we offer.
