🚀 Help Guide: What to Maintain After Going Live with the Gym Growth Engine System
Section: System Maintenance Purpose: Ensure long-term performance, accuracy, and alignment between your business operations and the automated system.
✅ Overview
Congratulations on going live! 🎉 Now that your system is fully launched, it’s important to remember:
This system is NOT “set it and forget it.”
Your business will evolve—offers, staff, availability, and market trends will shift. This guide outlines exactly what to maintain and update inside your Gym Growth Engine to keep things running smoothly and aligned with your real-world business.
🛠️ 1. Keep Your Offer Names Up-to-Date
Your challenge and trial offers may change over time (e.g., from "6-Week Challenge" to "28-Day Shred").
When this happens:
-
✅ Update Custom Values to reflect new names.
-
✅ Update text messages and automations that reference the offer.
-
✅ Ensure alignment across:
-
Ads
-
Landing pages
-
Automated replies
-
In-studio communication
-
⚠️ If your offer name changes but your messages still reference the old one, it creates confusion and reduces trust.
👥 2. Manage Staff Profiles & Access
As your team grows or changes:
-
✅ Add new team members in HighLevel (sales, nurture specialists, admins).
-
✅ Remove old or departed users to protect your business.
-
✅ Reassign conversations or calendars to new users when necessary.
💡 Refer to the “User Management” video for step-by-step instructions.
🕒 3. Keep Appointment Availability Accurate
This one will be frequent:
-
✅ Adjust calendars if hours change (seasonally or permanently).
-
✅ Expand or reduce appointment availability based on staff capacity.
-
✅ Know how to change your own or your team’s time slots without waiting for support.
💡 Speed = control. Take ownership of this to stay agile as the business grows.
🖼️ 4. Swap Out Outdated Photos
Have a photo of a coach who’s no longer with you? A different gym entrance? A rebranded flyer?
-
✅ Update nurture images, banners, and “show magnet” photos in your system.
-
✅ Use fresh and relevant images to build trust and clarity with leads.
📣 5. Adjust Gym Team Notifications
As roles shift:
-
✅ Add new staff to internal SMS/email alerts (i.e., new leads, missed calls, confirmations).
-
✅ Remove past employees so sensitive notifications don’t go to the wrong person.
✍️ 6. Optimize Messaging Over Time
Your messages are preloaded with what works on average, but your market is unique. Here’s how to stay ahead:
-
✅ Monitor reply rates, booking rates, and opt-out (STOP) messages.
-
✅ If messages are underperforming:
-
Edit them to match your brand tone.
-
Split test two versions of a message.
-
Test new angles and calls to action.
-
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t guess. Use data to drive changes. If your reply rate improves after a change, keep it. If not, switch it back or try a new message.
