TESTIMONIALS

MISTI, CROSSFIT ENG

"I tried Facebook and Instagram ads but spent a lot for few results. Then I joined a cookie-cutter mentoring program that worked briefly before flopping. That’s when I found LASSO. My ads are now managed, updated frequently, and use my gym’s images, not generic stock photos that everyone else uses. They are geared toward the atmosphere and community of my gym, not everyone else's. They are never stagnant, they are constantly evolving and my ROI is through the roof! In 1 year and 3 months, we have over 120 members and are turning a profit!!! Thank you LASSO for filling the much-needed gap in gym advertising and sales."

RYAN HEIM, CRUNCH FITNESS

“LASSO is amazing and I’m so glad that I started to work with them. Their creative perspective, marketing insight, tactical and fun approach proved to be invaluable in increasing our revenue and brand awareness which is critical in the beginning! Their knowledge is crazy, I truly trust every action step they tell us to do. They’ve taken our business to the next level."

ANDREW ROMEO, ROMEO ATHLETICS

“I've worked with both Sherman and Blake for about a year. Sherman has worked with me and my staff on the entire sales process. Blake has been leading the way in marketing. I’ve owned a boutique gym for over 10 years and in the past year have experienced more growth than ever. With Sherman and Blake's help, we increased revenue by 28% and plan on increasing revenue for 2020. If you're serious about growing your business but have a weak link when it comes to sales and marketing, contact LASSO. They will help you."
