[ The story ]

The brief in 30 seconds.

Paddington is one of Brisbane's busiest fitness markets. Standing out meant planning for the whole first year, not just the presale.

01 · The problem

A crowded street.

Well-known brands all around, a busy market shaping sentiment, and high demand on the team once interest arrived.

02 · The play

Promise it, then prove it.

Storyboard the club's local USPs, then show the same story after opening, so members joined a club that lived up to its message.

03 · The result

2,000 in a year.

From 500 at launch to 2,000 at 12 months, with almost five years of positive net member movement since.

[ The first year ]

Growth that kept going.

A 12-month plan aimed at positive net member movement every month, not a spike at launch.

[ Promise & proof ]

Same story, before and after.

The promises made in presale were the same story the community saw once the doors opened. That's what took the friction out of the sale.
