The gym growth system
We get the leads. We book your calendar. You just close.
Your revenue is stuck. We built the machine that unsticks it.
You have done the mentorships. You built the systems. The number still will not move. LASSO gets the leads, nurtures every one, books your calendar, and trains your team to close. Your only job is signing people up.
- 500+ gym owners served
- $16 blended cost per lead
- 71.9% top booking rate against an 18.5% industry average
- $35K+ in ad spend saved and put back to work
01The problem
You did not open a gym to manage five different companies and software.
An ads person here. A website company there. A CRM nobody set up right. Someone posting to Instagram until the gym gets busy.
Five invoices, five logins, five people pointing at each other while leads leak out of the gaps. That is how a good gym gets stuck at the same number for six months. Twelve months. Some owners two years. Revenue is not stuck because you are doing something wrong. It is stuck because no one owns the whole funnel.
Leads do not die in your ads. They die in the handoffs.
02The six engines
Six engines. One roof. One login.
One job: grow your MRR. Built for the owner who already runs a great gym: the mentorship is done, the systems are built, the churn is fine. What you need is more of the right people walking in. Every engine feeds the next, and every number lands in the same portal.

Sherman Merricks
Co founder
Gym owner and operator. Sherman runs the coaching side: the sales training, the scripts, and the standard your team closes to.
We own gyms. We have stood behind the same front desk you have. When we tell you which leg of your funnel is broken, it is one owner talking to another.
The plan
You just close.
Every other leg of the funnel is our job. Your job is the one conversation that makes you money: the intro that turns a stranger into a member.
