The Scheduling Challenge

Boutique fitness franchises live and die by class utilization. Empty slots mean wasted instructor costs. Overcrowded classes lead to churn. The sweet spot requires understanding member behavior patterns at a granular level.

Data-Driven Scheduling

By connecting their booking system, member CRM, and instructor management tools into the Franchise Graph, the brand could analyze attendance patterns across all 18 locations simultaneously. They discovered that optimal class times varied significantly by neighborhood demographics.

Impact

After restructuring their class schedules based on the data, the brand saw a 34% increase in average class utilization and a 12% reduction in instructor costs within the first quarter.
