Whether you’re managing the marketing for your fitness center with a small team, or the General Manager trying to juggle marketing when you can, creating in-club flyers, member emails and managing your fitness center’s website and social media strategy can be a little overwhelming - to say the least! 

There are many online tools and resources to help support your marketing efforts, so where do you start? And which ones are the best for fitness center marketing? The Active Wellness Marketing team has tested and tried lots of different options. 

Here are our top 3 marketing tools that we are loving right now. And they each have a free version so you can test them out for yourself to see if they will work for you and your team. 

1. Canva-  Our team loves Canva! If you're lacking design skills and want an easy-to-use online tool, Canva is a great resource. With Canva you can create beautiful designs and share them with your team for collaboration. Use Canva's drag-and-drop feature and layouts to design and share. Build email headers, social media graphics, in-club flyers and more. They also have a video and photo library as well as resources to send your materials to print if needed.

3. Animoto - If you don’t have an in-house videographer, Animoto is a great tool to check out. They have templates and samples to help you take your amatuer videos to the next level.
