  • Referral Program

    · 1 mention
    “We do have a referral program so if our members get some friends/family on board we do give a free session for every 5. I’m confident they’d encourage friends to come along for the ride anyway but that’s our way of saying thank you.”

  • Organic social media

    · 1 mention
    “I was just talking on Facebook about nutrition when someone came and told me: “Hey, I want to hire you”. ... Social media helps but to an extent. There are accounts in our niche with 100k followers but are only helping a few people. We have around 35k followers and have helped even more than that.”
