Most brands think app downloads and flashy gear are enough. They're not. Here’s the insider riff on how reminders, nudges, and smart upsells actually keep people coming back—and spending. Let’s get this straight: buying someone a treadmill doesn’t make them fit.  Shocking, I know. And yet, most fitness apparel and connected device brands act like it does.

Not on their own. Here’s the thing: metrics are lying to you. Not maliciously, they’re just…

How small behavioral nudges turn one-time users into lifelong members (and recurring revenue into muscle memory) Hot take:  Fitness apps don’t lose users because of poor tech. They lose them because humans forget they signed up to change their lives. Let’s be honest—most connected fitness brands aren’t in the “tech” business. They’re in the habit business .
