Case study

Real results for fitness & gyms.

The challenge: A CrossFit box in Astoria had a passionate member community but minimal digital presence. New member growth had slowed and they were invisible to people searching for fitness options.

Our solution: We launched a professional Reels content program, optimized their GBP with class scheduling links, ran targeted Google Ads and built a member review generation system.
