Selling their own specialist services to gyms
Gyms range from independent strength and boutique studios to large chains with many sites. Independent owners decide on equipment, software and marketing themselves, and they think hard about member retention and filling classes.
Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.
Every month you do not reach gyms with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.
What freelancers run into with gyms
Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.
Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.
You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.
Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.
Gym lists mix independent studios with chain branches that cannot buy locally.
Add an Independent or chain field and save a filter for independents.
Boutique studios, strength gyms and full clubs need different messages.
Record Gym type in a field and send each group its own campaign with fitting placeholders.
A week of prospecting in Riftjaw
Monday: collect
Export a batch of gyms from public listings and import it. Duplicates are skipped.
Tuesday: fill in
Derive missing emails with info@, hello@, membership@ and manager@ and tag the records that look like a fit.
Wednesday: reach
Send one mail about your their own specialist services to the new segment, in small batches.
Friday: follow up
Opens and clicks show up on each record. Set the ones who answered to Replied or Customer, so the follow-ups of the campaign skip them.
What to say to gyms
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets gyms to click.
- Lead with keeping members for longer, which matters more to most owners than new sign-ups alone.
- Talk about the busy new year period and how your offer helps them turn that rush into lasting members.
- For class based studios, focus on full classes and fewer no-shows.
Fields worth recording for gyms
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Gym type | Boutique studios, strength gyms and full service clubs buy differently. |
| Independent or chain | Chains buy centrally; independents decide on site. |
| Classes offered | Class based gyms need booking and scheduling tools. |
| Personal trainers | Gyms with in-house trainers often sell extra services. |
| Opening hours | Round the clock gyms need access control and security. |

Look for a single location and a local brand on their listing or website. Record Independent or chain in a field and save a filter on it.
Yes. Build a form in Riftjaw, link it from a button in your campaign mail and see each entry on the contact record.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, hello@, membership@ and manager@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
