How Rachel Used Everfit to Monetize Her Audience and Scale Her Business

Rachel Henley, founder of Henley Fitness, transformed her fitness coaching business by leveraging Everfit’s automation and monetization capabilities. With over 500,000 social media followers, Rachel found the perfect way to convert her engaged audience into paying clients while maintaining high-quality service.

Known for making fitness fun and accessible, Rachel’s coaching style resonated with a massive online audience. What started as casual advice to friends turned into an opportunity to build a scalable business. By leveraging Everfit’s automation tools, she was able to transform her engaged social media following into paying clients, seamlessly onboarding them into her fitness programs and ensuring retention through structured coaching tiers.

From Social Media Influence to a Thriving Fitness Empire

Rachel’s journey into fitness coaching took an unexpected turn after a career in theatre and interior design. A series of injuries cut her own fitness journey short, leading her to help others achieve their goals instead. During the pandemic, she started offering free online workouts, growing her audience from 3,000 to 10,000 followers in just a few months.
Her humorous and approachable content took off, skyrocketing her social media presence to 500,000+ followers in six months. This explosive growth created an opportunity—but also a challenge. The demand for her coaching services became overwhelming, and she needed a system that could help her scale without burning out.

Monetizing Her Social Media Following with Everfit

Rachel’s success wasn’t just about growing her audience—it was about converting that audience into a profitable coaching business. She developed a three-tier service model designed to maximize accessibility and retention:

  1. Premium One-on-One Coaching: High-touch, personalized support.
  2. Group Coaching (Blitz Your Bits Program): A structured eight-week transformation program.
  3. Low-Subscription App: On-demand fitness programs for those who want affordability and flexibility.

Using Everfit, Rachel built a double funnel system that kept clients engaged at every stage:

  • New followers entered her ecosystem via a free fitness program, which had over 150,000 downloads, placing them into her email funnel.
  • From there, she directed them to her low-cost subscription app – Everfit – which served as an entry-level product.
  • With Everfit Client app, her clients were given priority access to group coaching, which sold out within hours every cycle.
  • High-tier clients who no longer wanted 1:1 or group coaching were retained through Everfit app, preventing churn and maintaining long-term revenue.

Rachel emphasized that this multi-tiered structure was built in response to overwhelming demand, not as a pre-planned business model. As her one-on-one coaching slots filled, she introduced group programs. When those sold out, she launched her Everfit low-cost app to keep potential clients engaged instead of turning them away.

“The demand went really crazy. I couldn’t keep up with one-on-one inquiries, so we launched our group program, and that sold out in 12 hours.”

Scaling with Everfit: From 0 to 5,000 Clients in 30 Days

Problem: Rapid growth with no infrastructure to support it.

Before Everfit, Rachel struggled to manage her rapid business growth. The flood of client inquiries and manual processes quickly became overwhelming, limiting her ability to scale efficiently. She was juggling multiple disconnected platforms for coaching, nutrition tracking, and program delivery, which resulted in inefficiencies, lost opportunities, and excessive time spent on administrative tasks.

Everfit’s all-in-one platform streamlined Rachel’s entire coaching process. By consolidating client onboarding, program delivery, and engagement tracking into a single system, Everfit eliminated the need for multiple tools and manual interventions. The automation features allowed Rachel to seamlessly scale her services, providing:

  • Automated Client Onboarding – Ensuring a smooth sign-up process for thousands of new clients.
  • Effortless Program Delivery – Clients instantly received structured fitness plans without manual distribution.
  • Integrated Progress Tracking – Allowing Rachel to monitor client performance without time-consuming follow-ups.
  • Upsell and Retention Features – Keeping clients engaged in her ecosystem, moving them between coaching tiers instead of losing them.

With Everfit, Rachel gained back 25+ hours per week, enabling her to focus on what truly mattered—creating impactful content, engaging with her audience, and growing her business even further.

Seamless Client Monetization and Upselling

Problem: Followers didn’t always convert into long-term paying clients.

Everfit’s integrated system allowed Rachel to monetize every stage of her audience’s journey by providing a structured pathway from free engagement to premium coaching services.

  • Entry-Level Engagement: Rachel offered a free fitness program, downloaded over 150,000 times, which helped potential clients experience her coaching style firsthand.
  • Seamless Transition to Paid Services: She then guided them toward Everfit’s low-cost subscription as an accessible entry point, where its automation nurtured these free users through auto messages and app notifications.
  • Priority Access to High-Tier Coaching: Subscribers in her app received exclusive priority enrollment into her highly sought-after group coaching program, which consistently sold out within hours.
  • Sustaining Long-Term Revenue: For clients who completed the group coaching or could no longer commit to intensive coaching, she provided them with an affordable alternative on the Everfit app that retained them in Rachel’s ecosystem instead of losing them entirely.

By structuring her offerings this way, Rachel maximized revenue at every stage of engagement, turning casual followers into paying clients and keeping them invested in her brand through multiple touchpoints.

Results:

  • 90% of her sales came from existing clients upgrading to higher-tier programs.
  • 60% of clients remained in Rachel’s ecosystem instead of leaving entirely.

✅ Motivational Tools and Automated Reminders – Automated check-ins, progress updates, and goal-setting features create a built-in accountability system that encourages clients to stay consistent. Everfit’s gamified tracking system helps clients feel rewarded, further increasing retention rates and reducing dropout rates.

By combining these features, Everfit has transformed client engagement from a passive experience into an interactive journey, ensuring that clients remain committed and excited about their progress.

With a more engaging experience, Rachel’s client retention skyrocketed to 60%, ensuring steady, recurring revenue.
