BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids)
Consistency Lever
Week one insurance against crippling DOMS. Members who aren't wrecked come back tomorrow.
How it works
Leucine, isoleucine, and valine bypass the liver and feed muscle tissue directly, reducing breakdown during training and accelerating repair after.
When to recommend
- Day 1 for every new or deconditioned member
- Before or during workouts for 4+ sessions per week
- Anyone naming soreness as a consistency blocker
The script
“This is what our most consistent members take. It cuts soreness in half so you're not dreading your next workout. Most people feel the difference within the first week.”
Cross-sell play
Pair with Hydrate for an intra-workout stack that changes how members feel mid-session.
Why you lose money without it
Month 1 cancels cost $1,200–$2,400 in lifetime value. Losing them over soreness when BCAAs cost $30–40 is bad math.
Hydrate (Electrolyte Formula)
Consistency Lever
Stops mid-class fades, cramps, and dizzy spells that make members feel unfit and embarrassed.
How it works
Replenishes sodium, potassium, and magnesium to regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle contractions—especially crucial in heated or high-output environments.
When to recommend
- High-heat or sweat-heavy training blocks
- Members who cramp, get headaches, or fade halfway
- Morning and double-session athletes who show up depleted
The script
“If you've ever felt lightheaded or cramped up mid-workout, this fixes it. You'll feel strong all the way through class instead of hitting a wall.”
Cross-sell play
Add BCAAs to the same bottle for complete intra-workout support.
Why you lose money without it
Members who feel weak in class stop showing. Hydration builds confidence, and confidence keeps memberships active.
Natural Pre-Workout
Consistency Lever
Cancels the 'I'm too tired today' excuse. Every skipped session compounds churn risk.
How it works
Caffeine, beta-alanine, citrulline, and B-vitamins deliver clean energy, sharper focus, and better endurance without jitters or a crash.
When to recommend
- Early-morning and after-work crowds
- Members mentioning low energy or lack of motivation
- Parents and busy professionals training on fumes
The script
“This is for the days you don't feel like showing up. It flips the switch so you finish strong—no crash, just clean energy.”
Why you lose money without it
Skipped workouts stack into cancellations. Pre-workout protects consistency, and consistency protects revenue.
Deliver early wins so members believe the program works.
Creatine Monohydrate
Progress Catalyst
Visible strength gains in 2–3 weeks. Members who see progress fast stay bought in.

The script

Progress Catalyst
Solves the #1 dropout reason: 'I'm not seeing results.' Protein bridges the nutrition gap.
