Why Your Class Timetable Is Your Most Underrated Marketing Tool Most UK gym owners spend hours tweaking their Facebook ads, redesigning their website, and chasing Google reviews. Meanwhile, their class timetable — the one thing members look at every single week — gets a quick update once a quarter and is promptly forgotten. But here’s […]
