Optimal Aging

Elevating Your 50+ Clients to Superhero Status


Listen Later

In this powerful episode from the Functional Aging Summit, Jay Croft—founder of Prime Fit Content—reveals how fitness professionals can use client storytelling to attract, engage, and retain more clients over 50.

You’ll learn how to frame your clients as the heroes of their own fitness journeys (not you), why that subtle shift builds trust and credibility, and how to avoid the most common marketing mistakes that push people away.

Whether you’re a gym owner, studio operator, or coach working with midlife and older adults, this episode is packed with actionable advice on messaging, member profiles, retention, and building community.

🎧 What You’ll Learn:

  • The “hero’s journey” and how it applies to your clients
  • Why most fitness marketing misses the mark with older adults
  • How to tell stories that inspire action (without selling)
  • Real-world examples of member profiles that work
  • The retention benefits of client-centered content
