Work Case study: Fitness & Wellness

Club Well: 160 new members in four months.

Great product. Impossible location. Above a Shoppers Drug Mart with no street presence, Club Well needed digital marketing to do what their location couldn’t. In the first four months: 2,235 leads at $2.60 each and 160 new members at $36 each, a 15.9x return.

Nobody could find them. Literally.

Club Well had a real problem that no amount of great service could fix on its own: nobody could find them. Tucked above a Shoppers Drug Mart, they had no street level presence, no foot traffic, and no way for someone passing by to even know they existed. For a fitness and wellness brand, visibility isn’t just helpful. It’s everything. If people can’t see you, they can’t join you.

They’d recently opened, and early signs were promising: roughly 100 members and $40,000 per month. But growth had slowed, and they knew why. Their location was working against them.

The product was strong. The brand was solid. What they needed was a digital presence powerful enough to replace the foot traffic their physical location couldn’t deliver.

( What we built )

Impossible to spot on the street. Impossible to miss online.

( 01 )

Lead Generation (Meta + Google)

Launched and managed paid campaigns across both platforms. Meta for awareness and retargeting within their local market, Google for capturing high intent searches from people actively looking for fitness and wellness options nearby.

( 02 )

Brand Awareness Campaigns

Beyond lead generation, we ran targeted awareness campaigns to build Club Well’s name recognition in the surrounding area. People who would never walk past their location started seeing Club Well consistently: online, in their feed, across devices.

( 03 )

Content Production

Scripted, filmed and edited content that brought the club’s interior, culture and community to life. The content did what the storefront couldn’t: it gave people a reason to seek them out specifically.

( 04 )

Instagram Management

Took over their full organic social presence: content calendar, posting, engagement, and growth strategy.

( 05 )

Custom CRM + Lead Funnel

Every lead entered a purpose built CRM. No inquiry sat unanswered or untracked.

( 06 )

Automated Nurturing + Appointments

Automated SMS and email sequences followed up with every lead from the moment they came in, warming them, answering questions, and moving them toward a booked consultation. Appointment coordination handled the booking so the Club Well team could focus on the member experience.

( 07 )

Email + SMS Marketing

Ongoing campaigns to nurture leads, reengage cold prospects, and keep current members engaged.

( 08 )

Website

A conversion optimized website built to turn curiosity into consultations.

The full Stellr Growth System. One partner. Every channel. One goal: members.

The ads became the storefront.

  • Ads became the storefront for a studio nobody could find by walking by
  • A free class pass made the first step easy, and 3 in 4 leads booked a class
  • Once people came in, the space and the community did the selling

160 new members in four months.

From August to November 2024, four months, on the fitness side with a free class pass offer:

  • $5,804 in ads brought in 2,235 leads at $2.60 per lead
  • 160 new members at $36 per member
  • A 15.9x return on ad spend
The point

The location didn’t change. The product didn’t change. The system did.

“Working with Stellr for the past six months has been an absolute game changer for our digital marketing. The impact of their Google and Meta ad strategies has exceeded our expectations, delivering fantastic results.

( The takeaway )

Bad location? Solvable problem.

Club Well added 160 members in four months not by moving, not by renovating, not by slashing prices, but by building a system that made them findable, credible and worth seeking out.
