Do you have "Boot Camps" or Outdoor Workouts for your Group Clients? How do you market each to your targets?

Boot CampMarketing and Sales

The word "Boot camps" gives a certain type of workout to the general public. How do you market to your non-Boot campers?

Hi Lorraine,
I usually categorize the program as Group Training, then you can style your workouts to appeal to different participants. For example, Hard Core Boot Camp will appeal to those seeking a rigorous workout. Boot Camp Basics will attract those looking for a starting point, but still seeking a challenge. Tank Top Toning will appeal to a completely different group without using the term "BootCamp". You can market via brochure or flyer, referrals, bulletin boards, word of mouth and social media.

I do personal training on the side but the biggest part of my business is my outdoor boot camp. I market to the general public that classes are for all fitness levels and exercises are modified to accommodate each level and I do exactly that. I have beginners along with athletes in the same class. I recently did a Groupon type thing with huge success and we marketed it as a "fitness" boot camp and stressed that it was for all fitness levels. When people see us at the park they can tell its for all levels as we have all shapes and sizes.

You have to market where your targets are...where they shop...where they work, etc. You can try to get big corporations on board and hold a special group camp just for them when there is a convenient time for them. Market at Starbucks, whole foods, kids play centers, etc.

I use both names, Bootcamp can be intimidating
I have an Outdoor Workout and a Bootcamp
They are totally different but so is the clientele!

It's really up to what you feel is your best teaching style
