171: This is How Gym Owners Can Get FREE Marketing (and Profit More) | The GSD Show with Mike Arce
In this episode of The GSD Show, the leading fitness business podcast, we're uncovering how one gym is pulling in $140K+ in monthly recurring revenue—and how his marketing is essentially FREE every month! His gym currently pulls in $140K+ in monthly recurring revenue! As his Loud Rumor Account Manager, Alexa Zimmerman details how Mark does it and the 4 reasons his Marketing is FREE each month: #1: Spend More (might sound counterproductive, but listen in around 12:40) #2: Offer "FREE" (give people a taste of what you do: 20:44) #3: Follow a Proven Sales Process (how this gym signed 86 members in one month: 30:30) #4: Get "Qualified" Leads Not "Quality" Leads (this is critical: 33:29) Alexa also dives into which platform your gym should advertise on, how, and how much to spend to go beyond "breaking even" and start profiting. The data you're able to collect at your gym, and through advertising, allows you to duplicate your best members over and over again. In other words, the members who are most loyal, wear your gear outside of your studio, brag about you, and spend way more than just their monthly membership dues… that's who you want to attract through advertising, get referrals from, and sign up daily! 🌟 FREE DOWNLOADS: 🌟 Referral Script: loudrumor.com/referral-script Sales Script: loudrumor.com/brandon-play 🚀 Want to grow your gym?

170: How to Build Your Gym's Brand (the right way) And Why Most Get it Wrong | The GSD Show
In this episode of The GSD Show, the leading fitness business podcast, we're breaking down a huge misconception about branding that could be holding your studio back. Most fitness studios think it's their logo, colors, and tagline. In reality, branding comes down to 2 messages being aligned: 1. How you claim to change the lives of your members… 2. How your members claim you change their lives to others… See, what people say about you, based on how you make them feel, THAT'S branding. So, how is "branding" hurting your fitness studio? I explain in this episode! I also run through 6 questions you should ask before every Ad you put out there… Think about this: Do people choose to give Orangetheory a shot because of their logo and everything's orange? Or, do they give them a shot because they believe they'll get results? 🚀 Want to grow your gym? Visit loudrumor.com/discover to schedule a call and learn how to scale your fitness business.
