#418: $1.6M Gym's Marketing Playbook

Most gym owners think marketing means ads, posts, and promotions. That mindset is exactly why most gyms stay stuck. In this episode, we go inside the actual 2026 marketing playbook of MTK Muay Thai Kickboxing, a gym business doing roughly $140,000 per month, to show what real marketing looks like when it's built to scale. This isn't theory. This isn't surface-level tactics. And this definitely isn't just ads. You'll see how marketing touches product, pricing, retention, events, culture, and team structure—and why gyms that understand this grow differently. If you own or manage a gym and want to build something that lasts longer than a single coach or location, this is one you'll want to watch closely.
