24 Ways to Find More Group Fitness Clien...

KYLE WOOD
About this episode

If you are feeling like you need some inspiration for growing the size of your bootcamp and group fitness classes, then you will love today’s episode.

It’s natural in a fitness business to go through periods where you have lots of new people coming in and periods where you just have a few new faces appearing at your classes. What’s most important though is that you’re always experimenting with new ways to find new clients and that there is at least some new people starting with you to balance out the natural attrition.

In today’s episode of The Group Fitness Experience, I’m going to share with you 24 (actually, there is 27 but 24 for 2024 has a nicer ring to it) different ideas for finding and attracting new clients. Enjoy!

Would you like a handful of new clients? This May I’m running a free challenge called The 5x5 Challenge where I’ll show you a simple method to get 5 new clients and we’re going to do this like a HIIT workout where we get in, do the work and get out. You can start as soon as you join, so join us for The 5x5 Challenge today.
