How they got there

They're not always the best. They're the most familiar.

First year is when students lock in their habits. Every new first-year intake is a fresh chance to win them.

  1. 01

    Your facilities and membership offer appear on the pages students follow.

  2. 02

    Friends try a session together. The gym feels less unfamiliar.

  3. 03

    Convenient training and a welcoming space become a weekly routine.

  4. 04

    Members bring new training partners and recommend you to next year’s first-years.

The cost of waiting

Every week you're invisible, someone else is becoming their habit.

First year is when students lock in their habits. The gym they choose then is often the one they stick with until they graduate. Once another gym fits their week, changing feels like extra effort.

Every academic year resets the race. We only work with a limited number of businesses in Sheffield at a time.

That way every partner gets proper filming time and attention. We check availability before any partnership is agreed.

How we get you there

Make your gym familiar to Sheffield students.

  1. 01

    Week 1: we learn your business

    We look at your location, your equipment and classes, and the size of your gym. We build your student offer around that, so it is an offer students actually want and your business can handle.

  2. 02

    Week 2: a professional shoot at your gym

    We send a professional videographer from our team to capture photos and video of your equipment, your classes and your training spaces. It is included in your partnership at no extra cost.

  3. 03

    Then: professional promo, live to students

    We turn that footage into professional promo content. You approve every piece before it goes live on the campus pages Sheffield students already follow. Be visible when they choose where to train.

    10,000+ student impressions every month - or you don't pay for that month.

  4. 04

    End of every month: your monthly meeting

    At the end of every month we sit down with you to talk through how memberships and classes are tracking, make any changes you want, and show you the total views your posts received. Then we plan the next month around the Sheffield student calendar: freshers routines, exam stress, Valentine’s training-partner offers and end-of-term membership needs.
