Why it matters

January is everyone’s January.

Most gyms and PTs turn their ads up at the same time of year. That’s when wasted spend costs the most.

What you’d keep each year.

Set your own numbers: what you spend on ads, what you pay an agency (slide it to zero if you run them yourself), the share you think goes to ads that never bring a member, and your average member.

An example using the numbers you choose, not a promise. Your free audit works out the real waste from your own ads.

Agency or Tony

You pay an agency for its time. How much of it is in your account?

Fitness marketing agencies often charge per lead or a big monthly fee. Here’s what a retainer typically buys, next to Tony.

A typical agencyTony

Monthly. Cancel any time. 7-day free trial.
What they judge your ads on
Clicks, reach, cost per lead. The numbers Ads Manager shows.
Cost per member: tell Tony which leads became paying work, and junk-lead ads stop looking like winners.
Who keeps control
They log in to your account and change things you may never see.
You. Tony is read-only: it tells you what to change, you make the change in Ads Manager.

Plenty of agencies do good work. If yours does, the check below will say so.

Check your agency

Six questions. Thirty seconds.

Answer honestly. Nobody sees this but you.

  • Does someone look at your ads every single day?

  • Could you name, right now, the ad that brought your last paying member?

  • Do their reports show cost per member, not just reach, clicks and leads?

  • Are you locked into a minimum contract?

  • Does their fee go up when your ad spend goes up?

  • If an ad started wasting money this morning, would you hear about it today?

Questions

Before you start

I’m a solo PT. Is it worth it?

Yes, if you run ads. Tony is priced for one business and one ad account.

We use Mindbody or Glofox. Does that matter?

No. Tony reads your ads. You tell it how many leads became members.

Will it change my ads?

Never. Tony is read-only. It tells you what to do and why; you make the change in Ads Manager, in about ten minutes a morning.

What does it cost after the free audit?

Tony Pro is A$99 a month, the same price whether you spend a little or a lot on ads. Monthly, no contract, with a 7-day free trial.
