    How do you know if your marketing is actually any good?

     

    In this episode, Miles breaks down how SGPT gym owners can stop relying on feelings, opinions and vanity metrics - and start measuring their marketing based on what actually matters: leads, sales and business growth.

     

    Using real examples from INTENT91 and lessons learned over the last five years, Miles explains why getting likes on Instagram doesn’t necessarily mean your marketing is effective, how to avoid being distracted by feedback from leads or members and why understanding your KPIs is essential if you want to scale your gym with confidence.

     

    Inside the episode, Miles covers:

    • Why likes, followers and engagement can be misleading
    • The biggest mistake he made early on with Instagram marketing
    • Why your marketing should be judged by sales, not opinions
    • The key KPIs every SGPT gym owner should track
    • How to diagnose where your marketing system is breaking down
    • The difference between a lead generation issue, system issue and sales issue
    • Why gym owners must make decisions based on data, not emotion
    • How to use lead-to-sale percentages to improve performance
    •  

      If you’ve ever wondered whether your marketing is actually helping your gym grow - or you feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice online - this episode will help you focus on the numbers and strategies that truly matter.

      • The Most Powerful Investment You Can Make in Your SGPT Gym

        Sign up to the Webinar here: https://hamper.hmpr.fit/live-webinar/

         

        In this episode of the SGPT Marketing Podcast, George shares why marketing is the most powerful investment you can make in your SGPT gym - and backs it up with real numbers from inside INTENT91’s five locations.

         

        Using March’s results as a case study, George reveals how an £11k+ investment into Meta ads produced substantial front-end sales revenue, while also creating long-term recurring income through membership conversions.

         

        He also dives into the common reasons gym owners avoid investing in marketing, including:

        • Limiting beliefs around needing a better facility before charging more
        • Previous bad experiences with poor-quality leads
        • Lack of systems to convert enquiries into sales
        • Believing they’re already at capacity when they’re not
        • Treating marketing as optional instead of essential
        •  

          George explains why your prospects care more about trust, results and solutions than fancy equipment - and why consistent lead generation is what allows you to grow revenue, build a team, buy back your time and create a business that works for you.

           

          If you want to scale your gym, stop relying on chance referrals and build predictable growth, this episode is a must-listen.

          • How to Win with Meta Ads in 2026

            In this episode of the SGPT Marketing Podcast, Miles dives into the reality of running ads on Meta Platforms in 2026 and why many gym owners are getting it wrong.

             

            Drawing from his day-to-day experience inside Ads Manager, Miles shares a practical breakdown of what actually drives results today. He focuses on three critical areas:

            • Understanding the platform: Why constant changes and AI-driven features mean you need to stay up to date - and why relying on default settings can cost you leads
            • Volume and variety of creative: How ad fatigue is accelerating and why producing more content (in different styles and formats) is now essential
            • Messaging that speaks to problems: Why your ads should focus on your audience’s pain points - not your gym, your timetable or your features
            •  

              This episode is a must-listen for any gym owner running ads (or thinking about it), offering a grounded, experience-led perspective on how to adapt your strategy, improve lead quality and consistently generate sales in an increasingly competitive landscape.

              We dive into why paid ads are getting more expensive, why most marketing no longer works and how AI is making average businesses look better than they are. But more importantly, Phil explains how to win in this new landscape - by doing what others won’t.

               

              From running high-converting workshops and mastering one-to-many sales, to building a personal brand that cuts through the noise, this episode is packed with practical insights for gym owners who want to grow.

               

              We also explore the bigger picture - pricing properly, moving away from low-ticket models, building real profitability and turning your gym into an asset that gives you time, freedom, and leverage.

               

              If you’re serious about scaling your gym, charging more and building something that actually lasts - this is a must-listen.

            • Why You Need to Move to an SGPT Model

              Are you a 1-1 personal trainer hitting a ceiling on hours and income? Or a large group gym struggling to retain clients and charge a fair price? In this episode, George Branford explains why the Small Group Personal Training (SGPT) model is the ultimate solution.

               

              George draws from his own experience transitioning from 1-1 training and large group boot camps into SGPT, sharing how it allowed him to:

              • Scale revenue without trading more hours for money
              • Build a motivated, loyal team invested in your mission
              • Deliver personal results for clients in a scalable way
              • Charge premium prices without pricing yourself out of the market
              • Create freedom and lifestyle balance while growing your business
              •  

                He also exposes the downsides of sticking with 1-1 or large group models, including vulnerability to staff turnover, inconsistent retention and limited profitability.

                 

                This episode is a must-listen if you want a fitness business that is profitable, scalable and built for long-term success. If you’re ready to stop exchanging time for money and start building a team-driven, results-focused gym, the SGPT model is your blueprint - and George shows you why.

              • An Interview with Ali Turpie

                In this episode, Miles sits down with Ali Turpie, founder of Calm + Chaos, on-site at his gym in West Byfleet.

                 

                Ali’s story is unlike most. After losing his father at a young age and later suffering a major stroke that left him unable to speak, fitness became the foundation for his recovery. That journey led to the creation of Calm + Chaos - a brand built around the balance of calm and chaos, combining small group personal training with recovery-focused offerings like pilates and sound baths.

                 

                They dive into the full journey of building the gym, from training clients in a garage to opening a 2,500 sq ft facility, including the challenges that come with it:

                • Delays in opening and the financial pressure that comes with it
                • Navigating cash flow and overheads before revenue kicks in
                • Generating leads and selling memberships for the first time
                • Signing 67 members pre-launch and managing early growth
                • The emotional rollercoaster of sales and self-belief as a new gym owner
                • Defining a clear demographic and building a brand that speaks directly to them
                •  

                  Ali also shares what day-to-day life really looks like in the early stages of running a gym, the importance of training for maintaining performance and why staying true to who you want to help is one of the most powerful advantages you can have.

                   

                  This is a raw, honest conversation about resilience, identity and building something meaningful from the ground up.

                   

                  If you’re opening a gym - or in the early stages of one - this episode will give you a real look at what it actually takes.

                • 3 Ways to Convert More Sales in Your SGPT Gym

                  In this episode, Miles breaks down 3 ways SGPT gym owners can convert more leads into sales.

                   

                  Generating leads is only half the battle. If your systems aren't set up properly between the moment someone enquires and the moment they speak to you, you're likely leaving a lot of sales on the table.

                   

                  Miles explains why most successful gyms convert around 20-40% of their leads and shares the 3 key areas that directly influence that number.

                   

                  Inside the episode:

                  1. Generate enough leads
                  2. Most gyms should aim for 50-100 leads per month. That requires a consistent system across multiple channels including Meta ads, referrals, email marketing, organic content and local outreach.
                  3. Nurture your leads properly
                  4. The period between someone booking a call and actually speaking to you is crucial. Email, SMS and relevant content can warm prospects up, build trust and dramatically improve the quality of your sales conversations.
                  5. Make sure people actually show up
                  6. A strong CRM system ensures prospects receive reminders and know exactly when their call is booked. Without this, missed calls and no-shows quickly destroy your conversion rate.

                     

                    If you want to convert more of the leads you already generate - and make your sales process far easier in the process - this episode will give you a simple framework you can implement immediately.
