At a glance: Scott Rodriguez coaches at Stoneway CrossFit. He’d been burned by lead-gen companies that promised to double his gym “in no time”, so he did his own due diligence before working with Riley. His verdict on camera: he tripled his investment — something he says never happened with anyone else.
His testimonial runs 74 seconds, and this is deliberately a short case study — every claim on this page comes straight from the video below.
What Scott states on camera
| Claim | His words |
|---|---|
| The headline result | “I tripled my investment with Riley” |
| How that compares | “I cannot say that ever happened with anything else or anybody else” |
| Before LeadsNow | Burned by “many other lead generating companies” that promised to double the size of his gym “in no time” — “that didn’t happen” |
| First contact | Riley “got back to me super prompt” |
| His advice | “Don’t think about it any longer, just do it.” |
Watch Scott tell it himself
A note on the era: this result was delivered by the LeadsNow team under its fitness brand, More Gym Members, and the video was filmed in 2018. It predates the AI sales agents LeadsNow runs today — what you see here is the team’s earlier work with high-ticket coaching and fitness businesses, exactly as described on camera.
The story, in Scott’s own words
There isn’t a long backstory to dress up here, and we won’t invent one. Scott was, in his words, “super hesitant” — he’d been burned by many other lead-generating companies that promised to double the size of his gym in no time, and it didn’t happen. As a gym owner constantly marketed to by agencies, he did his own research and due diligence, reached out to Riley, and got a reply “super prompt”.
Then comes the line the whole testimonial hangs on:
“I tripled my investment… And I can not say that’s ever happened with anything else.”
— Scott Rodriguez, Stoneway CrossFit
His closing advice in the video is as direct as the rest of it: “go with your gut”, interact with Riley, and make your decision from there — adding that he is “super pleased” he did exactly that.
Why “tripled my investment” is the only number on this page
Scott’s testimonial is 74 seconds of direct-to-camera video, not a sit-down interview, and it contains exactly one number: he tripled his investment. He doesn’t state dollar amounts, member counts or a timeframe — so neither do we. Given that his complaint about previous agencies was over-promising, padding his story with figures he never gave would be a strange way to honour it. If you want a longer, numbers-heavy client story, the Iron Body case study is the other end of the spectrum, and the full set — filmed and written — lives on the client stories hub.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this case study so short?
Because the source is short. Scott filmed a 74-second testimonial rather than a sit-down interview, so the verified facts are limited to what he states in it: he had been burned by other lead-gen companies that over-promised, Riley responded promptly, he tripled his investment, and he recommends going ahead. Rather than pad the page with detail he never gave, we’ve kept it as lean as the video.
Do short client testimonials like this actually matter to buyers?
The independent survey data says yes. BrightLocal’s Local Consumer Review Survey (2026) found that 97% of consumers read reviews for local businesses, and 49% place as much trust in strangers’ online feedback as in personal recommendations. That’s general market data, not a claim about this campaign — but it’s why we publish client stories in the client’s own words, on camera, even when they’re brief.
Was this result produced with LeadsNow’s AI system?
No. This is a 2018 campaign delivered under LeadsNow’s fitness brand, More Gym Members, and it predates the AI sales agents LeadsNow runs today. The same team now works with high-ticket coaching and fitness businesses under LeadsNow. You can see the full range of client results on the client stories hub.
