If you’re running a gym and your website isn’t helping you bring in new members, you’re missing out—big time. Your website isn’t just a digital business card. It’s a 24/7 salesperson. A gym’s website needs to do two things: convert visitors into leads and help you rank locally so more people in your area find you.
Here are the 10 must-have features your gym website needs to dominate online, attract local members, and grow your business. And the best part? We build all of these into our websites for our clients, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
The first thing visitors see on your website should answer one question: Why should I care? Your headline needs to immediately communicate your gym’s unique value. For example:
“Transform Your Fitness Goals with the Best Gym in [City]”
“Transform Your Body with Expert Personal Training and Group Classes”
"Reach Your Fitness Goals with the Top Personal Training Stuido in [City]"
A strong headline hooks visitors and gives them a reason to stick around. Without it, they’re hitting the back button.
How We Do It: We work with our clients to craft headlines that reflect their gym’s unique strengths. Whether it’s community focus, top-notch amenities, or expert trainers, we make sure your headline speaks directly to your target audience.
Did you know that over 60% of online traffic comes from mobile devices? If your website isn’t optimized for mobile, you’re losing leads. A responsive design ensures your site looks great and functions smoothly on any device.
How We Do It: Every website we build is mobile-first. We test layouts, navigation, and forms to make sure users have a seamless experience whether they’re on a phone, tablet, or desktop.
When someone searches “gym near me,” your website needs to be at the top. Local SEO ensures your gym ranks well in local search results by optimizing keywords, meta descriptions, and location-specific content.
How We Do It: We optimize your site with location-specific keywords, create Google My Business integrations, and even include embedded maps to make it easy for local prospects to find you.
People want to see what they’re signing up for. High-quality images and videos of your gym’s facilities, classes, and trainers create an emotional connection and build trust.
How We Do It: We include professional-quality images and videos on your site to showcase your gym. Got member success stories? We’ll create a video testimonial section to highlight them.
Over 90% of consumers read online reviews before visiting a business. A Google Reviews widget on your site not only builds trust but also helps with local SEO.
How We Do It: We integrate a live Google Reviews feed directly onto your homepage, ensuring that visitors see glowing testimonials right away. This adds credibility and gives them the confidence to take the next step.
Your website’s job is to guide visitors to take action. Whether it’s “Claim Your Free Trial” or “Book a Tour,” a strong CTA ensures they know what to do next.
How We Do It: We strategically place attention-grabbing CTAs throughout your site to guide visitors. Our designs ensure CTAs are impossible to miss without being pushy.
A simple, well-placed lead capture form is critical for turning visitors into leads. One of the most effective is a pricing request lead form, where prospects can quickly request membership pricing and details.
How We Do It: We design pricing request lead forms that are easy to find and quick to fill out. These forms automatically feed into your CRM so you can follow up immediately.
If your website takes more than 3 seconds to load, visitors are gone. Speed is not only crucial for user experience but also for SEO rankings.
How We Do It: Our websites are built with speed in mind. We compress images, use lightweight code, and work with reliable hosting providers to ensure lightning-fast load times.
Visitors need to know what you offer. Dedicated pages for services like personal training, group classes, and amenities help them see the full value of your gym.
How We Do It: We create well-organized pages with engaging copy and visuals to highlight your offerings. We also add internal links to these pages for easy navigation and better SEO.
A blog not only helps with SEO but also positions your gym as a fitness authority. Articles like “Top 5 Tips for Staying Fit in [City]” attract local traffic and keep visitors engaged.
How We Do It: We build a blog section into your site and provide content ideas based on your gym’s target audience.
