@Patrick Edosoma Thank you, I got there in the end :-)

@Patrick Edosoma Thanm you

Well done.

@Benjamin Ross sadly, not sarcassm, just the slightly off-kilter workings of a neurodivergent mind.

Hi again @Yosef Rudakov :-) Looks to me like you're doing great, with over 100 members across 2 groups since September ths year. That's really healthy growth so far. Have you focused on organic growth, or have you run any ads/traffic campaigns?

@Yosef Rudakov it's not too late to fix that though, you're only 3 months in. I reckon we can figure it out together :-)

@Nando De Oliveira you may have just explained your struggle with getting that early interaction and momentum going right here. If your goal is to spread your knowledge, you're possibly unconsciously building a broadcasting platfrom, not a community one. And if your audience is 'everybody', you're not really identifying what makes them a community. Given what you're talking about, you're talking to fitness enthusiasts, but that's far too broad an audience to create a sense of identity from. Are you talking to gym bunnies who are already knowledgeable? Noobs who just want to figure out their routines? Intermediates who have plataeud? Or is the gel something else? Are you talking to seniors trying to stay agile? Midlifes (my audience) dealing with the double whammy of hormonal changes and declining health/energy Or a younger crowd who are looking for peak performance? Your bio says 'athleticism for busy professionals' which suggests you're talking to a younger, performance based crowd. In which case, your best bets for getting engagement are probably short, punchy posts with images and videos, competitions (I have seen a lot of people talking about last-post-wins type competitions being great for engagement on Skool) and things that are easy to consume and give the user bragging rights. If you're talking to an older crowd like me, giving us a chance to moan, opine, and commiserate tends to be more effective ;-)

@Nando De Oliveira You actually explained your idea very clearly just now. The challenge isn’t the concept, it’s the signals your words are sending. A small but important thing: “athleticism” can sound intimidating. To many busy, sedentary professionals it reads as advanced, sporty, or already fit. People who are tired, stiff, and desk-bound often don’t see themselves as “athletic”, even if what you’re offering is exactly what they need. What you’re really talking about isn’t gym culture or performance, it’s building capacity. You’re helping people who: - Sit all day - feel stiff, flat, or drained - don’t have the energy or time for long gym sessions, or feel comfortable in a gym - Want to move more, but struggle to fit it in And your promise is: “You don’t need to overhaul your life or smash workouts. We rebuild your body inside your workday, in small, doable pieces.” That’s powerful, relatable, and attractive to those of us already struggling with too much on our plates. If it helps, here’s a way to describe your community in plain, inviting language your audience will recognise themselves in: This is a community for busy professionals who want to feel stronger, looser, and more energised, without living in the gym. We focus on short movement sessions you can fit around meetings and workdays: strength, mobility, walking, breathing, done intentionally, not perfectly. The goal isn’t more or harder workouts. It’s building enough daily capacity that movement stops feeling like a chore and starts supporting your life, whether that’s getting through the workday with less stiffness, or having the energy to enjoy sport and activities again. Something that may help with engagement: Your people don’t want or need more information, they crave permission and acceptance (Don't we all?). So give them explicit permission to: - move badly - start small - complain about stiffness and fatigue - admit they’ve been sedentary If your posts invite sharing experience rather than receiving knowledge, interaction will come much faster.
