Studio Analytics Dashboard Guide

The 6 metrics every studio owner needs to track — and how to act on each one to increase revenue, fill classes, and reduce churn.

6 metrics that matter

Revenue per class

Monthly revenue ÷ classes run

Reveals your most and least profitable class formats. Segment by instructor and time slot to find optimisation opportunities.

Track weekly, act monthly

Class utilisation rate

Actual attendees ÷ class capacity × 100

The single most important scheduling metric. Under 50% = scheduling problem. Over 90% = opportunity to expand. Target: 65–80%.

65–80% is healthy

Client lifetime value (LTV)

Avg monthly spend × avg retention months

Justifies your client acquisition cost and tells you which channels deliver high-value clients. Review quarterly.

Track by acquisition channel

No-show rate

No-shows ÷ total bookings × 100

Track by class time, format, and instructor. Spikes in a specific slot indicate a solvable problem — time, instructor, or reminder gap.

Under 10% is excellent

Monthly active clients

Unique clients who attended at least 1 class

Your clearest growth metric. Rising MACu with stable revenue means you're under-pricing. Falling MACu is a retention alarm.

Should grow MoM

Booking-to-visit rate

Actual attendees ÷ bookings made × 100

Lower than 85% means your reminders or cancellation policy needs work. Combine with no-show rate to identify the problem layer.

Target 85%+

"I thought I was running a healthy studio. Then I started tracking LTV by acquisition channel and discovered my Instagram clients churned 3× faster than referral clients. That one insight shifted my entire marketing budget."

Studio analytics FAQs

What analytics does a fitness studio actually need?

The five essential metrics: revenue per class (tells you profitability), class utilisation rate (tells you scheduling efficiency), client LTV (tells you acquisition ROI), no-show rate (tells you retention health), and monthly active clients (tells you growth). Everything else is nice-to-have.

How do I calculate revenue per class for my studio?

Revenue per class = total monthly revenue ÷ number of classes run. Segment by class type and instructor to find your highest-value formats. A HIIT class that runs 85% full at $22/student outperforms a yoga class that runs 50% full at $18/student even if yoga has more weekly slots.

What's a good class utilisation rate for a yoga or pilates studio?

Target 65–80% average utilisation across all classes. Under 50% indicates scheduling or marketing problems. Over 90% consistently means you're leaving revenue on the table — you should be adding classes or raising prices.

How do I calculate client LTV for my studio?

LTV = average monthly spend × average retention months. If your average client spends $80/month and stays 9 months, LTV = $720. Track LTV by acquisition channel (referral, Instagram, Google) to understand which channels deliver the highest-value clients.

How should I use no-show trend data?

Track no-show rates by class time, format, and instructor. If 7am Monday classes have a 25% no-show rate while 6pm Thursday classes are at 8%, the problem is likely the time slot rather than the format. Test moving the class before changing anything else.

Does Who's In Studio include an analytics dashboard?

Yes. Who's In Studio includes revenue per class, utilisation rates, per-instructor earnings, no-show trends, and client booking frequency — all in a single dashboard. Growth plan ($40.83/mo) adds per-room revenue attribution and LTV forecasting.
