Gold's Gym SoCal

Gold’s Gym SoCal combines its established brand with a full range of fitness classes, training, and more for families at 17 locations in Southern California. With the shift in how consumers make membership decisions, Gold’s Gym SoCal recognized the need to increase member acquisition and engagement through digital marketing efforts.

WindFarm's digital marketing strategy for Gold’s Gym SoCal focused on integrating two key marketing programs—the cornerstone to success for our fitness clients: Inbound Marketing that provides long-term, sustainable online growth and Social Media Marketing that accelerates the results of Inbound via targeted social advertising.

The Power of One


WindFarm built website templates and digital marketing cloud integrations, including a custom CRM integration between HubSpot and ABC Financial, to form the infrastructure to deliver a powerful marketing growth engine from one hub. We also included integrations with Club OS and Gold’s Gym International, creating an internal marketing department in one spot.

By focusing efforts on website pages and integrations that moved leads quickly and seamlessly through the member’s journey on the back end and delivering properly qualified leads to the sales team quickly, Gold’s Gym SoCal reached a new level: over 60% membership growth.
