Gym and studio marketing

Gym marketing for independent gyms and boutique studios. We fill your trial classes through Google Maps, social media and local ads, then help turn those trials into members, with every signup tracked to its source.

The challenge
Easy to sign up somewhere. Hard to pick you.
Big-box gyms spend heavily, boutique studios are everywhere and people often sign up for trials and disappear. Winning gyms get found, stand out and follow up.
Quick check
- Do you know how many trials turn into members?
- Does your Google profile show classes, prices and photos of your space?
- Is your social content bringing in trials, or just likes?
Crowded market
Chains and studios compete for the same local members.

Essential
Local visibility
Top of the map near home and work.
Members want a gym on their way. We track your map rankings around your location and grow them where your members live and work.
- Google Business Profile optimization
- Consistent listings on the directories that matter
- A page for every service and area you serve
- Rankings tracked block by block on a 36-point grid
Example: a street map of a service area with 36 checkpoints around the business, showing its Google Maps position for “gym near me” at each one. Before, it showed in the top 3 at 5 of the 36 checkpoints. After local SEO work, it shows in the top 3 at 26 of them.
Example rankings. Your map shows your real positions.AI search
When people ask AI, does it name you?
More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI which gym to choose. Those answers come from your website, listings, reviews and mentions on sites AI engines trust. We make those signals clear and consistent, then track how often you’re recommended.
- Consistent details across Google, directories and your site
- Pages that answer the questions people ask
- Reviews and mentions on sites AI engines trust
- Monthly tracking in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google’s AI
Example of an AI assistant answering “Best gym near me for beginners?” by recommending Your Gym first: beginner-friendly coaches, free first class, great reviews. Its sources are the business’s Google profile, website and reviews.
