The numbers, with the context.

Real campaigns from gyms running on the engine. Spend, leads, cost per lead, timeframe, and the offer behind each one.

T.O.P. Fitness

1,623 leads at $1.06 each.

One gym, one sustained campaign, $1,723 in total ad spend. A day-pass offer running continuously, with the engine rotating creative and shifting budget as audiences wore out. Every one of those leads got a text in under a minute.

Valhalla Barbell Club

One month: 74 leads, 26 booked.

$476 in ad spend for the month. More than a third of the leads booked a day pass, because the follow-up did not stop at the first unanswered text.

Sports-performance gym · North Carolina

101 leads in June at $6.47 each.

A higher-ticket training program in a competitive market, so each lead costs more and is worth more. One calendar month, a program-intro offer, and a full pipeline for July.

Strength gym · Mountain West

36 new leads in the first month live.

First full month on the engine, running a lead-gen offer. A $14.54 cost per lead reads higher than a bargain number, but this is a premium strength market where one membership is worth far more than the lead, so the math clears comfortably. The follow-up kept texting past the first message.

Boutique studio · Pacific Northwest

33 leads from a free-class offer.

A single calendar month on a free-class offer. Boutique studios sit in a higher-ticket, higher-competition lane, so a $14.35 lead is normal here and still profitable against studio pricing. It was the follow-up sequence, not a one-and-done text, that turned interest into booked classes.

Independent gym · Gulf Coast

82 leads at $12.19, and still counting.

Account-to-date numbers over its first stretch on the platform, running a low-friction day-pass offer. Roughly $1,000 in total spend. The cost per lead held steady across the full run, no early spike that flattened out later, just consistent volume from day one.
