The Long Game

For years, gym owners rode the wave of cheap leads and quick wins. It was almost too easy. Launch a Facebook ad, get a flood of names, book the consults, make the sale.But lately... something’s off. Leads are still coming in – but they’re not picking up the phone, not booking appointments, not walking through the door. So now what?This episode takes a closer look at what’s really going on behind the scenes of gym marketing – and why so many owners feel like they’re doing the same things they always did, but getting half the results (if that).Something's shifted. It’s not in your ad dashboard. It’s not in your CPMs. But it’s showing up in your empty appointments and ghosted follow-ups.If the old game is over, what’s the new one? What actually works when the goal is staying relevant – not just this week, but three months, six months, even three years from now?Tune in as Tim and Randy unpack why the short game is fading – and how long-term, value-first strategies are separating the gyms that keep growing from the ones getting left behind.If you’re still marketing like it’s 2015 and hoping for the best… you're about to feel it.
