Fitness & Gym Marketing

Build memberships that stick past month three.

SEO, paid social, jingles, CTV, and 24/7 AI follow-up for gyms, studios, and fitness brands. Built around member LTV — not vanity sign-ups.

Built For Member LTVLocal + Multi-LocationRetention-Focused

We've run fitness marketing through every January rush, every summer slump, and every "just-do-30-days" trend cycle. The formula is consistency, not gimmicks.

The Real Problems

Where most gym marketing breaks down.

  • Sign-Ups Are Easy. Retention Isn't.

    Most gyms hemorrhage members in months 2–4. We build the entire lifecycle — top-of-funnel ads, intake automation, and retention campaigns — so members stay.

  • Class Schedules Change Weekly

    Static landing pages can't keep up. We build dynamic site sections and automation that pull from your scheduling software so the offer is always current.

  • Big-Box Competition + Boutique Pricing

    You're fighting Planet Fitness on price and Equinox on premium. We position around your actual differentiator — community, results, niche, or location — not a price war.

  • Trial Conversions Stall

    A free week is not a strategy. We build proper trial-to-member funnels with onboarding sequences, accountability nudges, and conversion triggers built in.

What We Run

A fitness channel mix tuned to LTV.

  • Local SEO + GBP

    Rank for "gym near me," "[neighborhood] yoga," "personal trainer [city]," and the niche modifiers your members actually search.

  • Meta + TikTok Ads

    Member testimonials, transformation reels, and class previews running as paid social. Highest-converting fitness creative format right now.

  • Custom Jingles + Radio

    A jingle that becomes the sound of fitness in your market. Cheap brand asset that compounds over years.

  • Trial-to-Member Automation

    AI sequences that nurture trials into members — text reminders, class booking, accountability check-ins, and conversion offers.

  • Reviews + Reputation

    Auto-request reviews after the first transformation milestone, not just after sign-up. Real social proof, not generic stars.

  • AI Lead Capture (LeadConnector)

    24/7 AI bot books trial classes, handles cancellation requests, and texts back missed inquiries — even Sunday at 6 AM.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What's a realistic CPL for a gym?

Typically $15–$60 per qualified trial in mid-size markets. Boutique studios and premium concepts run higher. We optimize for member CAC, not just trial CPL — there's a big difference.

Can you handle multi-location gym chains?

Yes. Location-specific landing pages, location-specific Google Business Profiles, and per-location attribution. Common for 2–20 location operators.

Do you do creative for fitness ads?

Yes — we shoot member testimonials, transformation reels, class previews, and instructor spotlights in-house. The creative is usually the unlock for fitness paid social.

How do you handle seasonality?

January is the sign-up rush. Summer is the slump. We build campaigns that smooth the curve — referral incentives in summer, retention pushes in fall, and ramp-up creative for January.

Do you work with franchise gyms?

Yes — both with franchisor brands and individual franchisees. We respect brand standards while running local-market campaigns that outperform corporate.
