How BIA Technology Maximizes Health Club Revenue and Member Engagement

I’m excited to share today’s episode, where I sit down with my good friend and fitness industry leader, Pete McCall. Together, we explore how leveraging BIA technology—specifically the Evolt360 body scanner—has completely transformed the way we drive not just health outcomes, but serious revenue growth in health clubs.

Drawing from my own experience running 32 clubs and Pete’s incredible background in personal training, education, and managing programs for major fitness organizations, we break down what actually works when it comes to integrating body composition analysis into your club’s operations.

I share why charging for scans might be holding your business back, how continuous member engagement through tracking creates massive sales opportunities, and how scan results open the door to powerful, teachable moments for both trainers and clients.

This episode is packed with specific strategies and real-world examples of how focusing on data, coaching, and community can turn better health into better business.

If you’re looking for practical ways to maximize your revenue and truly support your members, you won’t want to miss this conversation!

My top takeaways:

• Don’t Charge for Scans, Create Opportunity: Charging members for body composition scans can limit participation. By providing free scans, you dramatically increase the touchpoints to upsell training, nutrition plans, and supplements—and drive better engagement.
• Data-Driven Coaching = Better Retention: Frequent, personalized scans empower trainers to deliver actionable coaching moments, address setbacks proactively, and tweak programs in real-time. This keeps members motivated—and more likely to stick around.
• Use Insights to Grow Your Business: High scan rates correlate directly to higher sales in memberships, training, and supplements. Smart operators use Evolt’s backend insights to quickly identify underperforming clubs or trainers and deliver targeted support.
