01 · What is NPS
One question. One number.
Net Promoter Score is built around a single question asked of every member: "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our gym — or your coach — to a friend or colleague?" From that response, members fall into one of three groups.
0 – 6
Detractors
Members who are unlikely to recommend you, and may share negative experiences. Their feedback points to gaps we need to close.
7 – 8
Passives
Satisfied but not won over. They won't actively advocate for us, and remain open to switching if something better appears.
02 · Why It Matters
More than a satisfaction score.
NPS is a predictor of growth, not just a pulse check. Organisations with high NPS consistently outgrow their competitors — through stronger retention, more referrals, and deeper member loyalty. In the fitness industry, where churn is high and trust is hard to earn, NPS is especially meaningful.

03 · How It Works Here
Gym-level and coach-level.
We measure NPS at two levels: across each gym as a whole, and individually for each coach. Coach NPS is reviewed every 6–12 months. Typically, attendees from three of your classes are surveyed — giving a real, grounded read of how members experience coaching with you specifically.
Step 01
Members are surveyed
Attendees from three of your recent classes receive the survey. The sample is intentionally small and focused — it reflects your direct impact.
Step 02
Score is calculated
Responses are grouped and your personal NPS is calculated. You'll receive your score with context — what it means, and where it sits relative to benchmarks.
Step 03
Conversation follows
Your score becomes part of a broader coaching review — identifying what's working, and where there's room to grow. It's a tool for development, not just assessment.
Your NPS isn't a judgement — it's a signal. A high score tells you members feel genuinely connected to their experience with you. A lower score is an invitation to look more closely at what's landing and what isn't.
04 · Coach Benefits
