31 Members in Three Months with UpLaunch

How Michael Plank was able to grow his gym without hours of extra work using marketing automation.

About Underwood Park CrossFit

Michael Plank opened Underwood Park CrossFit in Fort Edward, New York in the fall of 2014.
‍
Plank is a pastor, and he sees parallels between his church work and CrossFit. He opened his gym to help people get in shape and improve their lives.
‍
“I want to build a community and help people become kinder, happier, and healthier,” Michael said.

He Wanted More Members, Not More Work

By 2019 the gym had about 88 members. Michael was ready to grow his membership, but he was wary of adding to his workload.
‍
Michael and his wife were expecting a baby. He wanted to improve automation and streamline his marketing efforts so he could spend time with his wife and baby and the gym would continue to thrive. He didn’t have time to spend all day writing emails and individually following up with leads and current and former members.

‍

‍
In their second month with UpLaunch, Plank gained six more CrossFit members.
