Monthly revenue — Academy products (gross USD)

Aug 2024 peak, steady decay since. Monthly subscriptions = 85% of all revenue; Lifetime $1,777 across 6 sales; Annual $279 once.

Revenue by discount level

Only 25 of 114 sales were full price. The 90%-off tier produced 27 sales but just $761 — a fifth of what 25%-off made on 11 sales.

The Module 2 cliff — avg progress per module

M1 46% → M2 15%. 100 of 131 members never start Module 2; by M7 it's 117. This is where subscribers stop seeing value — and later stop paying.

How much of the Academy members actually view

Median member has seen ~10% of what they bought. The 75–100% bar is 9 people.

Macro picture

  1. A discount-driven subscription business in decay. $6,232 (2024) → $6,018 (2025) → $1,388 YTD 2026 on Academy products. 78% of sales carried a coupon; the 90%-off tier attracts buyers who barely engage.
  2. Consumption crisis = churn engine. 149 members average 16.5% of content viewed. People don't cancel products they use — the Module 2 cliff is the commercial problem, not a content detail.
  3. Money is leaking silently: $1,256 of 2026 renewals failed on dead cards with 34 automatic retries and zero recovery emails. That's 90% of YTD revenue.

Micro picture

  1. Module 1 works: 46% avg progress, 21 completions. Every later module sits at 4–15%.
  2. Discount depth predicts disengagement: the 10%-off group averages 71% progress; the 90%-off group 11%.
  3. Do-along exercise videos carry the product (Bird-dog 8.5h, Triad 8.2h, Standing Big 3 7h watched). The kettlebell series (7–13% engagement) and the podcast (2%) are dead weight.
  4. Only 15 students engaged at all in 2026 — and most are new Good Back Basics buyers, not Academy members.
  5. 2 refunds lifetime ($332), both "requested by customer" — refunds aren't the problem; silence is.

What's working / what's not

✔ Working

  • Module 1 onboarding content
  • Short do-along exercise videos
  • Lifetime tier — sells whenever offered ($296 avg)
  • Loyal Czech core (94 of 130 lifetime sales)

✘ Not working

  • Modules 2–7 consumption (85–90% never start)
  • 90%-off coupons — low revenue, lowest engagement
  • Failed-payment recovery (nothing exists)
  • Passive content: podcast, kettlebell theory
  • No re-engagement of the 134 low-progress members

Restructuring strategy

  1. Reshape 7 modules into 3 outcome tracks — "Get out of pain" (M1 + best of Acute Guide), "Build the base" (M4–M5 movement work), "Get strong" (M6 + kettlebells as an opt-in advanced track). Members follow a path, not a syllabus.
  2. Drip + nudge: weekly email with one next lesson deep-link; a bridge video at the end of Module 1 that sells continuing.
  3. Price integrity ladder: retire 90%-off; keep 50% as a first-month intro rolling to full price; push Annual and Lifetime to engaged members.
  4. Turn on dunning today: Stripe smart retries + card-update emails; personally email the 6 failing subscribers. ~$800+ recoverable.
  5. Win-back campaign to the 134 members under 25% viewed: "start again with one 10-minute win" → Triad video.

UX & sales ideas

  1. "Start here" 10-minute quick-win page replacing the module wall.
  2. Progress bar + streaks; completion certificate per track.
  3. Monthly live check-in call (retention anchor for subscribers).
  4. Capture testimonials from the 21 Module-1 completers for the ads.
