When To Send This Email

Trigger

An active member has no verified visit or booking for the operator-defined inactivity window and no account-service case is open.

Personalization Notes

  • Use cross-location attendance data before classifying a member as inactive.
  • Show only account options allowed by the member's actual terms.

Platform Setup Steps

Trigger

An active member has no verified visit or booking for the operator-defined inactivity window and no account-service case is open.

Segment

Active members past the defined no-visit window, excluding open billing, injury, complaint, cancellation, freeze, and staff-managed cases.

Delay

After full attendance synchronization for the defined inactivity window.

Reply owner: Member-services retention specialist authorized to review schedule, access, billing, pause, and cancellation questions.

  1. Reconcile visits and bookings across all locations and exclude sensitive or staff-managed cases.
  2. Select realistic return options from current schedules and summarize only eligible account options.
  3. Send once and route all replies or account requests to member services.

Stop conditions

  • Stop on a new visit, booking, reply, stop-check-ins request, opt-out, cancellation, or freeze.
  • Stop if an account, injury, accessibility, billing, or complaint case opens.
  • Require a verified return visit before allowing a new inactivity episode.

Subject Line Variations

  • Would a different {{gym_name}} visit fit better?

    Frames the issue as fit and scheduling rather than motivation.

  • Options for your next visit

    Focuses on practical return paths.

  • A quick account and schedule check-in

    Use when account questions are a common return barrier.

Mistakes To Avoid

  • Calling the member unmotivated or saying they have fallen off

    It makes an unsupported personal judgment and can alienate the member.

    Use instead: State the attendance record cautiously and offer practical options.

  • Using an email unsubscribe as a cancellation mechanism

    Marketing consent and the service contract are different records.

    Use instead: Provide the correct account-help path and explain what each action changes.

Sequence Placement

Use as a one-time reactivation checkpoint after a verified inactivity window. A visit resets eligibility; account-service replies leave marketing automation and enter a human-owned retention or service queue.
