Insta & Website breakdown
just uploaded a new video where I take a look at a Gracie Barra gym in San Diego and do a quick breakdown of their Instagram and website.
My aim it’s to show a few small things that can create friction when someone new first finds your gym online.
A lot of gym owners focus heavily on:
  • techniques
  • classes
  • competition results
  • showing the head coach as the best in the world
Basically forgetting how they felt when they first started...
And when a complete beginner lands on your page they’re usually asking themselves very simple questions:
  • Is this place for someone like me?
  • What do I actually do next?
  • Is this gym welcoming or intimidating?
  • Why should I choose this academy instead of another one nearby?
In the video I walk through a couple of small improvements that can make a big difference when it comes to:
  • first impressions
  • beginner clarity
  • and converting curiosity into someone actually walking through the door... how many ideal clients have visited our site but never come into our gym?
If you run a gym, help with marketing, or are just curious about how people experience a martial arts academy for the first time, I think you’ll find it interesting.
I’d also be curious to hear your thoughts:
  • What was the first thing that made you decide to try a gym?
  • Was it something online, or something someone told you?
