The adult gymnastics merch shop revenue equation is simple: number of active members times annual pieces purchased per member times the program margin per piece. The harder question is what those three numbers look like in a real adult gymnastics program. This guide walks through the per program sizing, the realistic purchase rates by program type, and the margin tiers most adult programs land on.
The core revenue equation
Annual program shop revenue = (active members) x (avg pieces per member per year) x (margin per piece). Each variable is set by the program, not by the platform. Active members is the count of people the program has access to (class roster, open gym membership, drop in list). Avg pieces per member is driven by program type and member engagement. Margin per piece is the retail price minus our VIP base price.

| Small adult rec class program | 15 to 40 |
| Adult rec plus tumbling skill blocks | 40 to 80 |
| Open gym membership program | 50 to 250 |
| Multi class adult program | 80 to 200 |
| Masters competitive team | 4 to 20 |

What scales the numbers
- Active promotion: shops promoted in class, on social, and via email convert at 3 to 5x rate of passive shops.
- Variety of pieces: 10 piece catalog outperforms 3 piece catalog. Members buy across categories (tee plus leggings plus hat) when those categories exist.
- New design rotation: 1 to 2 new designs per quarter generates re purchase from existing members.
- Event tie ins: meet day, anniversary, year end pushes the annual purchase rate up.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Whats the realistic minimum revenue I can expect from a 30 member adult program?
Roughly $400 to $700 per year at the default $10 markup with reasonable promotion. Higher if the program has Masters athletes or open gym members who buy across categories.
Does the program pay for inventory upfront?
No. Per piece print means there is no inventory to buy. Each order is printed and shipped to the customer who ordered it. Program never carries stock.
Whats the platform monthly fee compared to revenue?
Self Service VIP is $59 per month. A program selling 6 to 8 pieces per month at $10 margin breaks even. Most programs cross that within 30 days of launch.
Can the program pull membership fees from the shop revenue?
Revenue from shop sales lands in the program payout, separate from membership dues. Treat the two as separate revenue lines.
