In this episode, Miles, head of marketing at our own personal training gyms, INTENT91, reveals how testimonials have played their part in helping us to scale from 1 to 3 gyms in 4 years. You will leave this episode with a good understanding of why you need to be making testimonials for your gym, and also how to batch create testimonials effectively. You can find our email template for getting clients to film testimonials at your gym in the episode notes below. SGPT gym owners serious about creating a brand that stands out from the crowd need to listen to this episode.
Testimonials are the most versatile piece of content that you can be producing for your SGPT gym.
They can be turned into: Meta ads for Facebook and Instagram, posted as organic content for your own social media, sent to your email list and plastered across your website.
Just take a look at our own personal training gym's website, INTENT91, and Instagram account, @intent91_ to see how we use them.
As promised in the episode, here is the email template that we use to attract clients to batch film testimonials:
