What clients say

I had never run a FB ads campaign, working with Francesco meant that instead of spending hours figuring out what each option in the ads console meant, or how attribution should work, I could focus on actually launching quickly and effectively, I highly recommend working with Francesco

Working with Francesco has been fantastic because he did not help me only with understanding Ads, but also how to look up what my competitors are doing, plus set up technical aspects such as tracking and Google Analytics. It was nice to learn also, Ads needs their one time to warm up the clients, so the right strategy and funnel needs to be in place. Can only recommend - work with Francesco.

You know what's amazing about Francesco? He doesn't just know the ins and outs of ad platforms - he's actually been in the trenches making them work. When he explains things, it clicks. He takes all these complicated tech concepts and breaks them down into real steps you can actually use. That's pretty rare to find.

If you're a builder, book time with Francesco. He navigated me through the monstrosity called Google Ads UI. But more importantly, he has a natural instinct for spotting marketing problems. And won't hesitate to give you a clear, objective assessment your strategy!

How much do Google Ads cost for gyms?

Gym Google Ads typically cost $500–$2,500/month. Average CPC is $1.50–$5 for most fitness keywords. Cost per membership lead ranges from $8–$30. January is the most expensive month — CPCs increase 30–60% as competition peaks. Overall, gyms see strong ROI because a single membership at $50–$150/month pays back the CPL within weeks.

What is the average cost per click for gym and fitness Google Ads?

Fitness Google Ads CPCs range from $1.50–$5 for most keywords. 'Gym near me' and 'fitness center near me' average $2–$5. Personal training keywords are slightly higher at $3–$7. Boutique fitness terms (CrossFit, yoga studio, cycling classes) are often cheaper at $1.50–$3.50 due to lower competition.

What is a good cost per lead for gym Google Ads?

A good cost per lead for gym Google Ads is $8–$25 for free trial offers and $15–$40 for direct membership sign-ups. The more important metric is cost per started membership — if 1 in 3 leads converts at $80/month, a $25 CPL delivers excellent ROI.

When is the best time to increase Google Ads budget for a gym?

Increase budget January 1–15 (New Year's resolutions), April–May (pre-summer), and September (back-to-routine). Reduce spend in July–August and December when sign-up intent is lowest. During the January peak, consider doubling your normal budget for the first two weeks.

FAQ

Gym Google Ads FAQ

When should gyms increase their Google Ads budget?

Ramp up in late December through February for New Year's resolution traffic, and again in April-May for summer body season. Scale back in summer when organic foot traffic increases.

How do I compete with Planet Fitness pricing?

Don't compete on price. Focus on what makes you different—personal training, specialized classes, community, equipment quality. Target searchers looking for those specific benefits.

Should I promote free trials or paid memberships?

Free trials or low-cost trial periods typically convert better than going straight for membership. The key is having a strong conversion process once they're in the door.
