What other studio & venue owners say

Winning the Community Choice Wellness Award put us on the front of the West Valley Weekly. We doubled our class memberships in six months. The badge is still pulling in cold bookings two years later.

We presented the post-Food & Wine stretch session and walked out with 60 new emails for our climbing intro class. Half of them showed up to a trial. That's not a marketing channel I can buy on Instagram.

Common questions

Activity & Recreation FAQ

Can a fitness studio actually win a Community Choice Award?

Yes — and they consistently do. The 2025 winner in the Wellness category was a Tarzana yoga studio that joined at Bronze 14 months earlier. Members get nominee placement, voting promotion across our full audience, and a winner's badge that runs in the Weekly for 12 months. A win is genuinely the best ROI a small studio can get from a chamber, year for year.

How does the Chamber support new-member promotions or grand openings?

Every member at Bronze and above gets a ribbon-cutting (we bring the giant scissors and District 3 council photographer), a press release distributed to local media, and a featured slot in the next West Valley Weekly. Studios using this typically book 30–50 trial classes from the press alone — usually their highest-ROI single moment of the year.

What's the deal with event presenting opportunities?

We run 200+ events per year — from breakfast meetings to the Food & Wine Event to Family Day at Warner Park. Activity-based members get first refusal on the active-lifestyle slots: presenting the 5K, leading the kids' fitness corner, hosting the post-F&W stretch session. These are typically reserved 6–8 weeks in advance and waitlist heavily.

Do you support drop-in vs. membership-based pricing models?

Yes — your member profile shows pricing tiers (drop-in, class pack, monthly, annual) and links straight to your booking system (MindBody, Vagaro, ClassPass, Glofox, Mariana Tek all supported). The Concierge filters by price model, so a resident asking "yoga drop-in near Tarzana" only gets matched with studios that offer it.

Outdoor and adventure businesses — is there a fit?

Absolutely. We have hiking guides, mountain bike clubs, and kayak rental services as members — they cross-list in the Family Activities Guide and the CityLoop Local Resource Guide. Outdoor businesses tend to do exceptionally well at our Earth Day and summer kickoff events, which draw outdoor-curious residents we don't always reach in-studio.

Can I run an exclusive member-only deal?

Yes. The Member-to-Member Deals board is one of our most-used member tools — fitness members regularly run "first month free for new members of any other Chamber business." Cross-traffic from those deals is consistently 20–35% conversion, and it builds the kind of internal flywheel where 450 businesses send each other clients.
