Gym marketing that turns trials into members

Short videos of your floor and coaches sell the trial pass, and gym marketing turns it into class sign-ups.

How we'd work for gyms and fitness studios

Gym marketing, from free class to monthly member

Website

A visitor wants class times and the price before trying, so both are one tap from the button.

    @foundryhallfitnessWhat your first class here looks like

    Short videos from the gym floor

    Coaches film 20-second clips of a real class that run as TikTok ads nearby, so a nervous beginner sees the room first.

    Trial pass ads around January and September

    Ads for a free class run hardest when people reset their routines, and pause once the trial slots are full.

The first 90 days

  1. Week 1

    We look at how trials book and get followed up today, and set up free class booking in one step.

  2. Weeks 2 to 5

    Coaches start filming short class clips, and trial ads go live for the classes with open spots.

  3. Weeks 6 to 13

    We see which classes turn trials into members, and the next ads and clips feature those classes.

Questions

What gyms and fitness studios ask us

Should we offer a free class or a trial week?

Either can work when follow-up is quick, so we set up the one you prefer and track which becomes memberships.

Do we need TikTok?

Not always. If your members spend their time on Instagram, the same short clips go there first.

Can you advertise weight loss results?

No. We avoid body and weight claims and show the classes, the coaches and the schedule instead.

How do you keep members from drifting away?

The CRM flags members with no visits in two weeks, and a coach sends a short personal text.

  4. April: quieter
  5. May: quieter
  6. June: quieter
  7. July: quieter
  8. August: quieter
  9. September: busiest
  10. October: in between
  11. November: quieter
  12. December: quieter
Busiest: Jan, Sep
