Getting Started
Before getting to the fun part, we need to talk about setting up the foundation for a solid personal trainer marketing strategy. That is your online brand ecosystem.
Your brand ecosystem is the “body” of your business. It is the hub of everything your business stands for and allows you to build connection and create recognition for yourself and your services.
Your ecosystem should be as large as you can manage but we recommend having at least seven different facets. Video is the best content in the fitness industry so focus on platforms that support it.
Below are the platforms we recommend based on what we see working right now. However, you don’t have to use these ones specifically.
One of these should be your primary hub of business. We recommend a website, however social media pages that are set up as a sales funnel also work.
Recommended Platforms
These are the platforms that tend to provide some of the most consistent results.
- Business Website
- Blog
- YouTube Channel
- TikTok
- Facebook Page
- Facebook Group

Now You Need Content!
You may start to see some results here, but realistically you are still just in the setup phase of an excellent personal trainer marketing plan.
If you know who your ideal client is, this part should be easy enough! Your content for the platforms mentioned above needs to do a couple things:
- Share your credentials and build authority;
- Explain the problems your ideal client has better than they could;
- Provide the answer to those problems;
- Provide a call to action to help them through the process!
We like to use the AIDA marketing format to the left!
Content Strategy Continued
For channels that support evergreen content (think website, blog, YouTube) the best strategy to use for personal trainer marketing is this:
- Pillar content deep diving into a specific topic
- At least seven pieces of supporting content for each pillar
For channels that need the algorithm to be triggered more regularly (social medias in general) your content strategy should include a daily post at peak interaction times.
Services like Later can make this substantially easier to manage. This is what we use.
We also recommend Canva for quick and easy content creation.
Building Trust
Beyond just getting your personal training brand online, you also need to be trustworthy!
If you came across two companies who had similar content online, but one of them was featured in a publication like Forbes or followed by an influencer in their space you would most likely trust that one more. That is the goal with building authority online.
Here are the best ways to build that trust for personal trainer marketing:
- Social Proof
- Citations
- Authority Content
- Press
- Partnerships
Social proof comes from reviews, before and after photos/videos, and others talking about your business online or on social media. Make sure you are asking for this from existing clients and friends/family.
The good news for the others is that you can get started on our website for free!
Resources You Can Use Here
Step one for authority is getting your business citations handled. These include listings on places like Google, Bing, Yelp, and others.
Step two is getting backlinks and mentions! There are tons of ways to do this, however, one easy and free way is to join our community and share about your business here!
Additionally, if you write a workout plan for Doug Grows and it is approved you will get the credit for it! Just shoot us an email proposing the workout.
Step three is press! This could be an article all on its own, however, if you fill out the form to the right we can help with that too!
