Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to acquire a new gym member?
Member acquisition costs range from $20-$80 depending on your market, pricing, and offer structure. Introductory offers and free trial campaigns typically generate the lowest CPAs. We optimize for cost per signed member, not just cost per lead, ensuring profitable acquisition.
How can gyms reduce member churn?
Churn drops significantly with early engagement. We build automated onboarding sequences, 30/60/90-day check-in emails, milestone celebrations, and re-engagement campaigns for members showing declining attendance. Community building through social media also creates accountability that reduces quitting.
What marketing works best for boutique fitness studios?
Instagram and TikTok showcase your studio culture and workout energy. Introductory offer campaigns on Meta ads drive trial bookings. Email marketing nurtures trials to memberships. The key is marketing the community experience, not just the workout, which differentiates you from budget alternatives.
How do fitness businesses compete with at-home workout apps?
Market what apps cannot provide: personal coaching, community accountability, equipment variety, and social energy. We position your brand around the in-person experience while also offering hybrid options. Content showcasing your community, trainers, and results emphasizes the irreplaceable value of showing up.
Is TikTok effective for fitness marketing?
TikTok is one of the most effective platforms for fitness marketing. Workout snippets, transformation stories, and trainer personality content regularly go viral. It reaches a health-conscious audience actively searching for fitness content and drives both brand awareness and direct trial signups.
