Tool Sprawl Risk Audit — Wellness and Fitness

Signs of tool sprawl in Wellness and Fitness

• Member churn is 40-60% annually and the cancellation flow is a phone call to a front-desk associate who has no retention playbook — every save is a hero moment, not a system.
• Instructor scheduling is a Tetris game in a Google Sheet — favorite instructors are double-booked, weak time-slots are over-staffed, and the labor cost vs. attendance ratio nobody actually tracks.
• Booking, billing, member management, and the workout app are five different vendors that don't share data — the member is a different person in each system.
• Class no-shows and late cancellations are a structural problem — fees alienate members, no fees enable abuse, and the policy debate in management never ends.
