The Imphal angle for gyms

Imphal handloom (Phanek, Innaphi) culture is community-based; mass-broadcast WhatsApp damages relationships built on personal trust.

30-40% of new joiners drop off in 90 days

The Indian gym retention curve is brutal. Without consistent re-engagement, half your acquisition spend is wasted on members who never come back.

Batch slots run empty or overbooked

Yoga at 7am: empty. Spinning at 6pm: 30 people for 15 bikes. Without booking, the load isn't visible until the morning of.

Fee collection is monthly chaos

Owner messages each lapsed member individually. Some pay; most ignore. Cash flow timing slips by 2-3 weeks.
