Google Ads Mastery For Your Gym

Meta used to be the go-to for gym leads. Not anymore.Yes, leads are still coming in. But they’re not showing up. Or they don’t answer calls. Or ghost SMSs. Or… if you’re running Facebook ads now and you were running them 10 years ago, this probably sounds way too familiar.The platform got more expensive and less reliable. The bots took over, and the follow-up pipelines got clogged with dead weight. Plus, most gym owners still have no idea what’s actually working – because there’s no clear way to track it.Meanwhile, the gym down the street is running Google Ads… and getting real names, real calls, real sign-ups… Why?Let’s ask an expert.In this episode, Tim and Randy sit down with Zach Colman, founder of Creatitive and Gymmark.
