Rate Boost

Review generation software for gyms and fitness studios

Gyms are chosen locally and judged on atmosphere. Rate Boost turns your happiest members into the reviews that convince the next person to walk in.

Why reviews matter for gyms and fitness studios

Joining a gym is a social decision as much as a practical one. People want to know whether they will feel out of place, whether the equipment is contested at peak hours, and whether staff are helpful. Reviews are the only source for that, and they carry more weight than anything on your own website.

When to send the request

Around the 30-day mark for new members, once the habit has formed and they can speak to the experience rather than the sales tour. For class-based studios, after a member's fifth or sixth class.

Sample request

"Hi Chris, you have been crushing it this past month. If you have a minute, a Google review would help other people find us. - The team at Ironside Fitness"

The objection we hear most

"Members who quit will leave bad reviews." Some will. The answer is volume from the members who stay, which is the majority, and which never happens unless you ask.

How Rate Boost fits

Rate Boost sends the request for you at the right moment, routes customers who rate the visit highly straight to your Google Business Profile, and sends anyone who rates it poorly to a private form instead. It costs $49.99 per month for one business, with no contract. See how it works or full pricing.

Gyms and fitness studios: common questions

When should a gym ask new members for a review?

Around 30 days after joining. Earlier than that and the member is still reviewing the sales experience rather than the gym; much later and the request feels disconnected from anything. The one-month mark is when the habit has formed and they can speak to what the place is actually like day to day.

How do fitness studios get more Google reviews?

Ask members at a natural milestone rather than at random, such as their first month or their fifth class, and send the request by text with a direct link. Milestone timing gives the member a reason to reflect, which produces more specific reviews than a generic ask does.
