Empowering growth: The transformational journey of Body Mentors with Sharp Thinking Marketing
The challenge
Body Mentors, an innovative startup fitness company, are masters of a unique barbell-based training technique. Founded by two ambitious local entrepreneurs in rural Kent, they've tapped into the potential of the fitness industry niche with remarkable expertise and a bespoke approach. Stationed at a leisure club where personal training exclusivity amplifies their allure, Body Mentors also offer superior sports therapy services.
Lacking strategic marketing knowledge, Body Mentors struggled to build meaningful brand visibility. Their presence was confined to intermittent Instagram posts, which offered limited exposure and no clear path to achieving ambitious scaling goals. They needed a detailed marketing road map aligned with their service offerings and growth targets.
The partners had set their sights on doubling their personal training clientele and sought sustainable year-on-year growth. Their initial marketing approach needed refinement, direction, and clarity to formulate a plan that would take their business to the desired heights.
