5 Automated Online Marketing Systems to Explode Your Fitness Business In 2019


11 April, 2019

If you’re looking to scale your fitness business while retaining maximum profit in 2019, this may be the most important article you ever read. I, Riley, am revealing 5 cutting-edge secrets I’ve used to help 174 fitness businesses in 2018 add as many as 140 long-term high-ticket personal training clients to their business every 64 days

1.Facebook ads

Facebook ads are my favourite, so let’s start with them. The #1 reason Fitpro’s can’t get ads to work is they simply focus on their product and price too much.

Imagine a 35 year old mother scrolling her feed, constantly hit with offers of “2 free personal training sessions” and “7 day free pass”. After seeing these every day for 5 years it’s no wonder she never responds. But when she sees a group of women laughing together with big smiles on their face, titled “Free 7 day Mummy Mojo Program For [City] Residents!”, she’s intrigued!

Ultimately, it’s the same as a “free 7 day pass”, but positioned effectively to her. Forget your ‘Awesome membership at super cheap price’… Relate everything specifically to your client avatar’s core desires.

2.Funnels

Facebook ads with funnels are your ultimate scaling solution for 2019. The ad gets the click, the funnel grabs contact details & warms them up, the consultation seals the deal.

That Mum clicks your ad to see your landing page. Additional to the previous info, she is welcomed with transformation testimonials from other mums, further details, a personal welcome from you, and copy that paints a clear picture in her mind of exactly what her life will be like after you help her. Once she’s emotionally charged, there’s the call to action to enter her details.

3.Emails

It’s crucial to automate this (free using Mailchimp) and contact everyone 1-4 times per week. Build rapport, provide value, occasionally make an offer. Ensure you’re on top of mind when they finally decide to get help.

4.Content Marketing

People buy from people, not mysterious brands they don’t understand. To make content work; Chose a niche, position yourself as their hero, show up every day providing real value to solve that niche’s problems, and eventually they will reach out for paid help. You can expand your audience by engaging with others in local community Facebook groups. (I’ve seen 14 new clients come from one single post in a Facebook group!)

5.Social Virality

It’s much better if someone else sells you, for you. Create a ‘point system’ where clients earn points, and when they hit a certain number of points they win a prize.

Things clients could do to win points;

‘Check in’ to your business, post something about you/your business/your community, or post asking if any friends would like to join them for a free buddy session. Locals who see several friends posting about you will have no option but to check you out.

The thesis behind everything we do

Why Pay-Per-Result is the only marketing pricing model that aligns the agency with you

Leads Now AI is a 100% Pay-Per-Result marketing agency. You only pay when a qualified booked appointment lands on your calendar — sized to roughly 1–5% of your closed-deal value. Not for clicks. Not for lead-form fills. Not for retainer months. Not for “strategy hours.” If the calendar stays empty, you owe zero. See full pricing →

1. Incentives align

The agency only succeeds when you succeed. We eat the cost of bad ad creative, bad lists, ICP mismatches and no-shows. You never pay for our learning curve.

2. Self-selecting shortlist

Only an agency confident in its delivery can operate this model. The pool of Pay-Per-Result agencies is tiny precisely because most agencies can’t survive on it. Pick from the agencies who can.

3. Cost cannot detach from revenue

Sized to 1–5% of closed-deal value, your acquisition cost stays sustainable across LTV bands. A $500-membership business and a $50,000-engagement business can both run the model profitably.

4. No retainer trap

No flat $2,000–$10,000/month retainer arriving regardless of outcome. No 6 or 12-month lock-in. No clawback on appointments already delivered. Cancel any time with 7 days notice.

5. De-risks the pilot

Test before commitment. A small scope-based setup fee covers hard build costs; everything after that is purely outcome-linked. There’s no “we’ll see how it performs after $30k of spend.”

6. Forces agency discipline

If our AI agents qualify poorly, if our reminders fail, if our no-show recovery doesn’t fire — we eat the cost. That’s why the show-rate benchmark sits at 60–75%+ and the database reactivation benchmark at 4.4–8.9%.

The proof: 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments delivered since 2017 across coaches, consultants, RTOs, course creators, finance brokers and B2B service firms in Australia, USA, UK, Canada, NZ and Europe. Named clients include Sam Tajvidi (121 Brokers), Marcus Wilkinson (Iron Body), Foundr, SheSells.online and Lambda Academy. Wikidata Q139846230. See full Pay-Per-Result pricing →
