Who we helped

Boutique fitness studio — Waterloo, ON

Reformer Pilates + HIIT. Strong weekends, slow Tues/Wed. Channels: Instagram & TikTok. They wanted packed weekday classes and more first-timers using a promo code.

Problem Statements

Random posting

Pretty clips but no rhythm; followers didn’t know when to book.

No clear path to try

Trial offer buried; no simple “first-timer” code or link.

Low weekday urgency

Nothing special about midweek—people kept putting it off.

Discovery Insights

No content cadence:

Posts had no weekly rhythm; algorithm couldn’t “learn.”

Offer buried:

Trial/first-timer code wasn’t visible in Reels/Stories.

Link friction:

No Link-in-Bio hub; booking buried 3 taps deep.

Creator gap:

Members posted, but studio didn’t reshare consistently.

Weak proof:

Few before/after or coach intros; new people unsure.

 No UTM tracking:

Couldn’t see which posts drove bookings.

Phase 1

System & Setup (rounded bullets)

Make it easy to post and book

Weekly “drop” format: every Monday at 7pm, release Midweek Class Drops.

Link-in-Bio hub: class schedule, coach intros, “FIRSTCLASS” code; all links UTM-tagged.

Story Highlights: “Start Here,” “Coach intros,” “Results,” “This Week’s Drop.”

UGC wall: repost rule (tag us + location) and a monthly giveaway.

Phase 2

Proof & Hooks

Show results, reduce fear

Reels: 1) class snippets with on-screen cues (“Beginner-friendly”), 2) coach tip of the day, 3) member mini-wins.

Price anchor: “First class $12 with code FIRSTCLASS.”

Social proof: short member quotes; before/after where appropriate.

Pins: top 3 posts pinned—trial, schedule, coach intro.

Phase 3

Nurture & Hand-offs

Turn views into bookings

DM quick replies: “Pick a time,” “Beginner tips,” “What to bring.”

Auto-reply after hours: sends booking link + code; morning follow-up.

TikTok → IG hand-off: repost best TikToks with captions that push to booking.

Weekly recap Story: open spots + countdown sticker.

Obstacles & How We Handled Them (3 mini windows)

Camera-shy members

Fix: Focus on coach-led demos and POV angles; offer opt-out bands for members.

No-shows on trials

Fix: Confirmation + 24h/2h reminders, clear “what to bring,” and an easy reschedule link.

Inconsistent visuals

Fix: Shot list (entry → warm-up → highlight move → end pose), consistent cover text, and brand colors.
