Benefits of Social Media Marketing in the Fitness Industry


Are you thinking of using social media in your digital strategy for your gym? Or maybe haven't decided how much of your budget you are putting aside for social media? Here are some key benefits that would help you make that decision a lot easier. 


Gets Your Brand Out There 

A gym owner's most important marketing goal is to grow brand awareness and recognition. A strong social media marketing strategy will generate conversation about your gym a lot quicker compared to traditional marketing i.e print, radio, etc. 

Create an Engagement

Social media can be a great way for health clubs to engage with their clients. You can get feedback from your members by using your social channels.

For example, you might be wondering what people think of your new spinning class? What do you want to add to your club? The days of word of mouth and paper surveys are long gone, you can ask all this via social media. 

You will inspire people

It doesn't matter if a member regularly attends your gym or just starting, everyone needs a little motivation. Make sure your gym/leisure centre uses social media to post positive messages to keep people motivated and new clients interested in joining the club.

Cost 

Let's face it, the cost of half-page adverts in a national newspaper would be the equivalent of a month's budget for social media. Regardless of whether you are a small gym owner or own a chain of gyms, social media is always the most cost-effective to promote your gym and services. 

Social media is not going away anytime soon. Today, people are looking at their social media for updates and information. If you are a gym owner, you must use social media in your strategy. Whether you’re looking to form stronger relationships with your members or introduce yourself to new potential members, you can do this all through social media.

    Really helpful article in developing an understanding of how important brand awareness is to gym owners and why digital marketing is far more effective than some of the traditional marketing methods. I guess the same could be said for most industries! There is so much competition in the fitness industry so it can sometimes be hard to know where to start with social media marketing, but your article has given me some detailed insight in how to approach it, thank you so much.
