“We’re not for everyone. We’re for people who want results in a focused setting. January was always chaos—but this year, we booked out in a week with zero stress.” — Marcus B., Co-owner
Before Partnering With Us
CoreFit Studio was struggling with:
Unpredictable post-holiday rush with no scalable lead system
Low-intent leads looking for free workouts, not results
Inefficient ad spend on Meta with no clear hook
No urgency or scarcity in their offer messaging
A Countdown-Based Meta Funnel
We helped Core Fit position their limited class capacity as a premium, urgent offer using Story ads, hyper-local targeting, and instant WhatsApp follow-up.
1. Countdown Story Ads = Scarcity + Action
Story ads with countdown stickers created urgency while visually conveying trust through real imagery.
Format: Meta Story Ads with countdown timer stickers
Hook Example: “Only 8 spots left for January – Starts Jan 7”
Visuals: Real class photos (not stock) Coach voiceover explaining urgency Direct CTA: “Reserve Your Trial Spot Now”
2. Ultra-Local Targeting = Low CPL + High Relevance
Local relevance improved engagement, ad quality score, and conversion rate—especially during a high-competition season like January.
Radius: 2.5 km around the studio Audience: 28–42-year-old professionals who live or work nearby Ad Messaging: “5 minutes from work – Burn fat before or after your shift”
3. Meta Lead Form + Instant WhatsApp Follow-Up
Combining instant automation + real human connection increased trial show-up rate and removed friction from the buyer’s journey.
Lead Form Fields: “When would you like to start?” Preferred time slot (morning/evening)
Automation: Auto-response via WhatsApp within 60 seconds A real coach replied within 10 minutes to book the trial
