Velocity Fitness Studio
200% Membership Growth at $12 CPL: Velocity's Boutique Gym Playbook
“Our studio was running at 50% capacity and bleeding money. Within three months of launching Meta campaigns, we hit full capacity and had to start a waitlist. The transformation-focused creative, real member results, not stock photos, resonated immediately. We're now opening a second location entirely funded by the revenue growth these campaigns generated.”

With Dancing Chicken
We ran transformation-focused campaigns with real member before/after photos and personal stories, not stock images. Free trial and challenge offers got prospects through the door to experience the community firsthand, which is where the real selling happened. Targeting hit fitness enthusiasts within 10 miles based on gym interests, running groups, and wellness signals. An automated upgrade funnel converted trial members into long-term commitments.
