Bill’s Story
Bill has always loved fitness. But what he loves even more is a challenge. And it’s that mind
set that led him to become a Captain for CAL FIRE. While there, he always trained hard. His
workouts were “known for their intensity,” so a lot of firefighters wanted to train with him. But
then he says he discovered “a different approach to training.” It addressed physical fitness as
a whole, enhancing everything from flexibility and coordination to stamina and power.
Those opting to challenge themselves with Bill’s newly found training method were seeing better
results when compared to their previous workout approach. Based on the success he and his
coworkers were having, Bill was eager to teach others outside their station, too. With the help
of his fellow firefighters, Josh Lorenzo and Cesar Martinez, and his girlfriend at the time Danica
Boyle, Bill was able to open the first box in San Luis Obispo County: CrossFit INFERNO.
“MINDBODY takes care of the things we don’t want, or have the time to deal with.”

The Challenge
When CrossFit INFERNO first opened its doors in 2008, they had a handful of clients. But that
handful quickly grew, causing them to go from a 1,000 square foot location to a 3,000 square
foot building, to a now 9,000 square foot box. Bill told us that “using a notebook to write
everything down was fine in the beginning,” but even then he had to track people down for
payments. As CrossFit INFERNO grew, he also had issues with their schedule. He explained
that “classes were filling up quickly, but we never knew beforehand if they were going to be full,
or if we needed to make more available.”
Bill began looking for software that would handle all the daily tasks that commandeered his
time. It was then he discovered MINDBODY box management software. When asked what he
liked most, he told us, “MINDBODY does everything. Every time I think of something I wish it
could do, I discover that it already can.”
The Results
“The majority (63%) of our clients are excited about the services we offer.”
Building a loyal customer following is a priority for every business owner. Bill and his team
have been able to exceed the industry standard of 30% by more than half, with 63% of their
clients coming back. When asked how they were able to achieve this, Bill said it had a lot to
do with MINDBODY’s automated emails. One of those emails is sent to clients who haven’t
been in for a couple of weeks. He expressed that he loves “being able to reach out to clients
and say, ‘Hey, are you okay? You haven’t been in for a while, and we noticed.’”

MINDBODY has something for those who haven’t been back in months, too. When asked
what he attributed to clients not coming back for a while, he said, “Sometimes our clients
get sidetracked by life and need a little incentive to come back. MINDBODY keeps track of
when that happens, and gives us the option of sending them a special discount, along with
a personal note, to let them know we haven’t forgotten about them.”
“MINDBODY software lets us focus on our clients. And with a 27% increase in revenue this past year, it’s definitely working.”
There are several ways to increase a business’s revenue. One of those ways is to align your
services to the wants and needs of your current customers. CrossFit INFERNO does this by
providing every client with individualized modifications and WODs.
We asked Bill how he uses MINDBODY software to accomplish this, and he said, “We use
MINDBODY’s client notes to keep track of every customer’s needs. If someone recently had
surgery or has a preexisting condition that requires modifications to certain movements, we
note it in his or her log within our software. Then, when those clients come to class, we’re able
to show them movements that address those areas.”

“MINDBODY’s AutoPay feature has helped us increase our revenue by 24% this year.”
Scheduling recurring revenue for clients helps your business and your customers by creating a
steady flow of income for you, and a convenient way to pay for them. Bill and his team realized
this, and started offering their clients a discount when they signed up for automated monthly
billing, also known as AutoPay.
Bill told us that one of the biggest reasons they switched to AutoPay was “to prevent that
awkward conversation of us saying, ‘It looks like you’re past due on your payment this month,’
and them saying, ‘Oh yeah, I forgot. I’ll bring it next time.’” As a result, more clients pay on time,
and they’ve increased their income from AutoPays by 24% this past year. Now AutoPays make up
70.78% of their total revenue in 2014.
