90-day online marketing plan
Peak Motion Fitness
Peak Motion Fitness will bring more people through its doors by making the first visit the easiest thing to book, with a clear timetable, honest membership terms and a prompt reply to every enquiry.
More visits to your shop · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Build the website around one action, booking a visit, with a timetable page, a membership page and a beginners page that each lead to the same short form.
Fill your Google Business Profile with photos of the training floor, the studio and the changing rooms, so people searching for a gym near me can see inside before they decide to come.
Reply to every enquiry the same day and follow up after a visit, because many people who ask about a gym need a gentle second message before they turn up.

Your channels, in order
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
It is how people near you find a gym on a map, and photos and reviews help them picture themselves inside.
- Choose gym as the main category, add fitness classes and personal training as services and keep the opening and staffed hours exact.
- Add photos of the floor, the studio and the changing rooms, taken in daylight with nobody identifiable in the shot.
- Ask members for a review at the desk after a class, and reply to each one in your own words.
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
People compare gyms on the classes, the terms and the atmosphere, and a page for each of those answers the search before they ring.
- Make pages for the class timetable, memberships, personal training and beginners, using the search phrases in this plan.
- Put a book a visit button on every page that opens a short form with a name, a phone number and a preferred time.
- Say in plain words how membership works, what is included and how a member can stop, so nothing feels hidden.
Employers, clubs and neighbours Medium effort · Low cost
Workplaces, running clubs and school parent groups already hold people who want somewhere to train, and a warm introduction counts for more than an advert.
- Visit nearby employers and ask the person who looks after staff wellbeing whether you can run a short taster class for their team.
- Offer clubs and groups a quiet hour on the floor for their members to look round, and leave cards for them to share.
Guest passes and referral cards Low effort · Low cost
Members who enjoy a class are your best introduction, and a card in the hand makes it easy to bring a friend along.
- If you choose to offer a guest pass or a taster class, print it on a card that members can give to a friend.
- Hand a card to every new member at their first session and note which cards come back through the door.
Follow-up by text and email Low effort · Free
A visit that was booked on a quiet Tuesday is easily forgotten, and a short reminder brings more people through the door.
- Text everyone who books a visit the day before with the address, the time and the name of the coach who will meet them.
- Message anyone who visited but did not join a few days later, with a link to the timetable and an offer to answer questions.
Instagram and Facebook adverts Medium effort · Some cost
A small advert reaches people near the gym who are not searching yet, and it can point straight to the visit form.
- Run an advert for a taster class or a floor tour to people within a short distance of the gym, linking to the visit form.
- Time it for the weeks after New Year and after the summer break, when people think about joining.
What your website needs
- A home page that names your area in its first line, shows today's opening hours and has a book a visit button.
- A class timetable page, set out by day and level, with a line on what each class involves and how to book a place.
- A gym membership page that explains what is included, how the terms work and how a member can leave, in plain words.
- A personal training page with each coach's real background, the style they teach and what a first session looks like.
- A gym for beginners page that walks through a first visit, from the front desk to the induction and the quiet hours.
- A gym day pass and tour page with the form to request a visit and a map with parking and transport.
