What the numbers mean
Fitness shows balanced metrics across the board—no standout strengths or weaknesses. The $62.80 CPL works for gyms with $50+ monthly memberships where member LTV easily justifies acquisition cost. The critical factor is seasonality: January sees massive demand spikes from New Year's resolutions, while summer slows significantly. Smart fitness advertisers build budget flexibility around these predictable patterns rather than running flat budgets year-round.
Year-over-year change
Balanced metrics with strong January seasonality
How to act on this
Plan 40-50% higher January budgets for resolution season demand. Track member LTV by acquisition source—Google members may retain differently than referrals. Use Facebook for visual transformation content and testimonials. Consider pausing or reducing spend in summer slowdown rather than wasting budget.
