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.
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.

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.
Revenue from shop sales lands in the program payout, separate from membership dues. Treat the two as separate revenue lines.
