3 Essentials for Successful Fitness Marketing
It can be tempting to keep looking for the next “silver bullet” quick win to get people into your gym, but the simple fact is, this only work in the short term. They may get you short-term gains, but with marketing that is too broad and too general, your marketing isn’t going to resonate.

Target Market
Generic messages get ignored. People aren’t interested in generic marketing, which means if you’re too broad, you won’t get noticed. Rather get super-clear on your target market.
You might know who your market is, but is your marketing reflecting that? If it isn’t clear, that needs to be your focus. Download your checklist for fitness businesses to make sure you’re hitting your target market.
Messaging

Media

- Make sure your messaging is right for that market
- Get your content out to the right sources
