Case Study: Close Combat & Fitness achieves 10–15 hours/week back and $2,500 in administrative savings with Zen Planner

Close Combat & Fitness - Customer Case Study

Close Combat & Fitness, a Metairie, LA studio owned by Louis Charron, has taught Krav Maga, Body Combat and kickboxing for over 35 years. The studio struggled with manual spreadsheets and paper sign-ins that made reporting inaccurate, obscured lead sources and attendance trends, and left Louis spending excessive time on administrative tasks while prospects slipped through the cracks.

After a quick Zen Planner trial—importing member and business data in about 45 minutes—Close Combat gained precise, actionable reporting and centralized tools for memberships, billing, class schedules and attendance. Automated emails, reminders and web-based lead capture eliminated double entry, recovered follow-ups, freed 10–15 hours a week for the team to focus on coaching and growth, and cut administrative costs by $2,500 in the first six months.
