What's broken

Three leaks we find in almost every fitness & studios account

The problem

The no-show trial

Half your trial sign-ups never walk in.

Instant texts, reminders and a real human feel before the first class.

The problem

Meta loves quitters

The algorithm finds people who sign up for everything and commit to nothing.

We send paid memberships back as the win, so it finds committed people.

The problem

January, then silence

Your marketing spikes in January and dies by March.

Year-round local SEO, review momentum and seasonal offers planned in advance.

Questions

Fitness & Studios FAQ

What should a studio spend on ads?

Most single-location studios do well between $1,500 and $4,000 a month. Multi-location gyms scale from there.

Do free trials cheapen the brand?

They can. We often test a paid intro offer. It usually brings fewer sign-ups and more members.

Which booking systems do you work with?

Mindbody, Glofox, Mariana Tek, PushPress and most CRMs with an API or Zapier connection.
