What’s more effective: showing off the gym brand or using ads that don’t even look like they belong to the gym? The answer might surprise you.

Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the podcast built for boutique gym owners who want to bring in more members and increase revenue without taking on the full-time job of being a marketer.

Episode Highlights

In this episode, Tommy Allen steps in as host to share his perspective on one of the most common questions gym owners ask: should ads be branded or non-branded? With $80,000–$100,000 in monthly ad spend behind his experience, Tommy explains why non-branded ads consistently deliver better results, how to address member concerns, and when it makes sense to introduce branded assets into retargeting campaigns

Key Takeaways

• Why non-branded ads are the best option for boutique gyms working with limited resources.

• How to explain the strategy behind non-branded ads to gym members who may be concerned.

• When branded assets like gym shots or coach cameos should be layered in through retargeting.

• Why $50,000 in recurring revenue is the turning point for testing branded retargeting campaigns.

• The importance of relying on proven, data-driven strategies to create consistent growth.
