Gym We Miss You email template
A dark win-back email for gyms: tall condensed caps over a moody weights room photo, a free week code, three reasons to return and a running track panel.
Light shows the email as designed. Dark and Gmail show how email apps can change its colors.

About this template
A win-back email for gyms, boxing clubs and fitness studios to send to members who have not checked in for a few weeks. It skips guilt and goes straight to an easy way back: a free week.
The email sits on near black from top to bottom. A small orange line says it has been a while, then We miss you fills the width in tall Oswald caps, with a white pill naming the gift and an orange Claim my week button. A dark photo of two athletes at the dumbbell rack sets the mood. A code box repeats the offer for readers who prefer to type it at the desk, and three white line icons point to what changed since their last visit. A split panel with a red running track photo suggests a gentle restart with a free intro session.
The near black page and single orange accent suit a gym brand well. Oswald headings and Inter body text keep it sporty and easy to read on a phone.
Trigger it after 21 days without a visit, and change the code each month.
