24 hours a day, 7 days a week, fitness experts and personal trainers are on social networks sharing their inspiration and motivation; and with the marketing potential on social media, it’s a no-brainer to help bring in new clients.
One of the tough networks to break is Twitter. With tweets coming at you virtually every second, it can sometimes be hard to keep up. You need to direct your tweets to a specific audience who are searching for the topics you’re talking about.
The solution? Hashtags to the rescue! In fact, we’ve put together this list of 35 hashtags that are popular with the fitness community (or fitfam as they’re called on Twitter.) This way you can direct your tweets at the right audience and drawn in more clients to your business.
However, bare in mind, these hashtags can be used across all social networks, like Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook to help discover and share your content.
