East Auditing delivers independent, scored facility assessments for gyms and fitness operators — identifying the exact hygiene and experience failures quietly costing you members, ratings, and revenue.
Across thousands of gym reviews and member exit surveys, specific complaints consistently predict cancellation, churn, and low star ratings. These aren't opinions — they're observable facility conditions your East Audit directly measures.

Data compiled from independent analysis of 12,000+ gym reviews across Google, Yelp and Trustpilot (AU/NZ/UK). Revenue figures based on average gym membership value of $65/month and average member tenure modelling. East Auditing directly measures every trigger listed above.
Most operators find out about hygiene failures the same way — a one-star review goes live and it's the first thing every potential new member reads. By then the damage is done.
The issue isn't that your team doesn't care. It's that there's no objective system measuring exactly what members notice. East Auditing gives you that system before a stranger puts it on Google.
A member who cancels over cleanliness rarely tells you why — they just leave. For every negative review written, research suggests 8–12 members had the same experience and said nothing. They just didn't renew.
Most facility audits are reactive — ordered after something goes wrong. The operators who win long-term use them proactively. East Auditing is built for both.
This is a representative example of an East Audit client, 90 days before and after implementing their remediation checklist.
East Auditing Pro clients can request competitor facility assessments alongside their own audit. You'll receive a like-for-like comparison of your facility against your nearest competitors — scored on the same framework, assessed by the same assessors.
This is the only independent, objective way to know whether you're actually the best gym on your street — or just the one with the most members who haven't left yet.
Our framework targets the specific, observable, physical indicators that correlate directly with the complaints in the departure data above. No subjectivity. No gut feel. Just a measurable score.
