Consistency in branding across channels eliminates confusion, building trust. Being regularly visible also keeps us top of minds when clients are ready to act.

WHY MARKETING SHOULDN’T HAVE AN “ON” AND “OFF” SWITCH

Marketing isn’t necessarily something that should have an “on” and “off” switch, especially in the digital space. Yes, there are times for launches and special events.

But in the background, we should always have ongoing marketing processes chugging along to ensure we have consistent growth and a consistent number of new members or clients coming into our business. In turn, this can help us expand and reach our goals, as well as balance out churn.

The power of consistency goes beyond just the operational aspect of our business. It's the bedrock of trust and credibility.

When our branding and messaging remain consistent across all channels, it resonates with customers and eliminates confusion. Plus, staying top-of-mind through regular marketing initiatives means we're the first they think of when they're ready to take action

2 BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH A SMALLER MARKETING AGENCY

A smaller personal marketing agency guarantees you get the attention you deserve. In contrast, a bigger agency might mean you get forgotten about in the chaos of hundreds of clients. So, let’s dig a little deeper. Why should you choose a small, personal agency over a bigger one?

1. AVAILABILITY & ATTENTION

With a bigger agency, you might struggle to get a hold of someone or even get a reply back to your email. It’s easy to get lost in the chaos of many other clients!

Luckily, with a small agency, you get 24-7 attention and greater availability if you ever need a call or a quick question answered. We also all know business is about building relationships, which you’re actually able to do when partnering with a smaller agency. You’ll always talk to the same person and receive a personalized touch!

2. FLEXIBILITY

Bigger marketing agencies are forced to streamline their processes and deliverables. This is because they are serving many clients, and if they were to customize their deliverables for each one, this could turn into more work (and less profit for them) than what is worthwhile.

Smaller, more boutique-style agencies, on the other hand, offer more flexibility. They can work with you to determine a unique plan of action that makes sense for your specific fitness or gym business.

WHY MARKETING IS ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS

As we all know, AI is making a big splash on the scene. However, human connection is always going to pull out first. As humans, we need this connection to feel happy and satisfied, as well as have our innate needs met.

While bigger marketing agencies might sn**ch up clients easily, you might not get the proper attention and care you deserve. With a smaller agency, you build a relationship with a reliable partner and won’t get bounced around multiple different people.

And this leads to…

→ REAL RESULTS

A small company takes the time to listen to your needs and desires. In turn, you get fresh ideas and not a cookie-cutter approach. Your voice is heard, and real results are gained from this collaborative effort.

→ CUSTOMIZATION

you’re probably going to get the regular ol’ cookie-cutter plan that everyone else has with a bigger company. However, when working one-on-one with a smaller agency, you get a customized approach that makes sense for your marketing, location, and goals. We listen, and you feel heard.

USING EXERCISE TO PUT YOUR WORRIES IN THE PAST

Moving your body regularly can take your mind off of any worries or fears. For instance, yoga is a very mindful practice (as should any form of exercise be!). This means that it’s hard to focus on anything else when you’re trying to pay attention to where your body is in space, as well as moving with your breath.

The same goes for any intense activity. It’s tricky to focus on anything else when you’re trying to perform 10 or so burpees. It’s also encouraged, during weightlifting or strength training, to actually focus on the muscle you’re contracting, as this can activate more muscle fibers during the movement itself.

The takeaway here? Everyone should be performing regular exercise. In fact, when we’re in good shape, the body is more resilient to stress as less inflammation interferes with our body’s regular processes.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING OUR YOUTH TO PERFORM REGULAR EXERCISE: IT’S ALL ABOUT RESILIENCE!

Whether it’s stress regarding an upcoming exam or overwhelm due to life in general, it’s safe to say that the next generation has more stress than ever before. Society tends to emphasize the importance of a “doing” and a “go-go-go” attitude, which can cause varying degrees of pressure on a young person’s psyche.

However, there’s tons of research supporting regular exercise for lowering stress. In fact, I’ve seen many gyms incorporate youth orientation programs to get individuals started early in life when it comes to developing a regular exercise routine (which is so great!). This also leads to the likelihood of gym memberships down the line.

But how exactly does exercise reduce stress?

Most of us know that exercise releases feel-good chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are powerful! They can actually block the nerve signals associated with pain, which may lower overall perceived stress. They also tend to promote feelings of calm and happiness, which is why we often feel better after a solid workout.

This is why it’s recommended to “take a walk” when you’re feeling particularly overwhelmed. Even a quick and brisk walk around the block can help your body pump out those endorphins, helping you cope better and come back to the task at hand with a better mindset.

Moving your body also actively lowers cortisol, the stress hormone. Interestingly, intense exercise can actually, at first, increase the stress hormones but then quickly lowers them soon after the workout. After a brisk walk, as well, the stress hormones are reduced afterward.

Yet, other forms of exercise, like yoga and Pilates, can actually reduce the stress hormone during the activity. This is primarily because we focus on controlled and deep breathing, which dampens the stress response.

In young adults, especially, exercise should be encouraged so that they can develop resilience and healthy coping mechanisms that will last a lifetime! It will also help them avoid detrimental health issues down the road.

What does your fitness studio do to encourage the young adults in your community to develop healthy exercise routines?

HOW TO START AN EXERCISE HABIT

I don’t just market and advertise within the exercise and fitness industry. I actually live and breathe the lifestyle too. Countless studies indicate that regular exercise has the potential to extend longevity (and also improve the overall quality of life in those later years!).

With that in mind, I wanted to offer a few tricks and tips I’ve learned over the years when it comes to building regular exercise habits. Here are some things I’ve learned:

- Find something you enjoy and look forward to (For me, this is yoga!)
- If you have trouble exercising after work or later in the day (Life gets busy!), carve out time for moving your body first thing.
- Start small. Remember, everyone starts somewhere. Even one day a week is pushing the needle forward (and giving you a base to build from!).
- Plan and schedule your exercise sessions.
- Avoid being “perfect.” You will miss a session here or there. It’s about hitting your targets 80% of the time—not 100.
- Even a 15-minute workout beats no workout at all.
- You are your biggest cheerleader. Ignore what everyone else might be thinking. Cheer yourself on, and only compare to yourself (not anyone else).
- Surround yourself with other active individuals. This can provide motivation and also make exercise an opportunity to connect.

Lastly, remind yourself that this isn’t just about getting fit or looking fit. Exercise is about looking after yourself and your physical and mental health. It can add years to your life! Who doesn’t want that?

WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE EXERCISE A PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE

Exercise is the magic pill we all want and crave. And this is why I’m so passionate about it—and about helping fitness organizations help others lead fulfilling and long-lasting lives.

So, let’s take a moment and appreciate exercise for all it is. Instead of approaching physical activity as another “chore” or “to-do,” let’s be grateful we have the opportunity to move our bodies and proactively improve our health and longevity. How does exercise extend our lives?

THE STUDIES ARE IN: REGULAR EXERCISE LOWERS MULTIPLE MORTALITY RISKS

Research indicates that regular exercise can help lower the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer. With heart disease and cancer at the top of the list of the leading causes of death, this should be motivation alone to get that exercise habit going.

On top of this, countless other studies also demonstrate a significant reduction in depression symptoms with the incorporation of exercise. In other words, physical activity enhances our longevity and also enhances our quality of life.

Then, there’s the never-ending list of other benefits that exercise offers, such as improved respiratory and cardiovascular function, increased muscle mass (translating into better metabolic health and easy weight maintenance), improved bone health, and improved function and movement for performing daily activities or tasks.

Do you make exercise a daily habit? How?

10 KEY TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL GRAND OPENING
Many of us think we need a huge advertising budget to have a successful grand opening. Yet, this isn’t always the case!

With over 200 grand openings and pre-sales behind me, I discovered that it all comes down to the camaraderie that is built within the club’s staff and member community. If the staff is motivated and excited about the upcoming grand opening, this spills over into member motivation and excitement. This can inspire members to bring along their friends and family, which can further member sales and build that community.

So, with that in mind, here are my top takeaways that I’ve learned over the years:

1. Plan your Sneak Peek Party two to three weeks before the Grand Opening Party.
2. Create a digital plan to promote a sponsor of a new member referral program.
3. Start a countdown to the Grand Opening Party 10 days out to create awareness and excitement (10 more days, 9 more days, 8 more days, etc.) to use on social media and email/website blasts.
4. Offer Free Guest Days for the first opening month.
5. Engage the community with grassroots marketing pieces using various vehicles.
6. Provide digital offers for first-time guests.
7. Offer founding member specials right up until the Grand Opening, then raise your prices in phases.
8. Invite corporate partners and local business owners developed through grassroots efforts.
9. Provide swag to attendees to continue to establish your brand in the market.
10. Make it fun! Consider a live DJ (DJ can help to co-promote via their own channels), decorations, a photo booth, a prize drawing, samples, demo classes, and fitness challenges!

Have you done these for your grand opening week? Will you?
