Billboard Advertising for Gyms
From £5 for an hour, or £10-£15 a day depending on screen size. No agency, no minimum spend, no contracts.
Get StartedWhy It Works
Gyms live and die by their local catchment. The people who join are the ones who pass your door, and for years the only way onto a billboard near you was a national brand's budget, an agency and weeks of lead time. FameCake changes that. You post directly to real digital screens across the UK (high streets, retail parks and shopping centres) and go live in minutes, not weeks. No agency, no sales call, no printing.
Push your New Year membership drive in the January rush, fill a quiet spin class this week, or promote a new PT. Post a text message for an hour from £5, or run your own design for a full day at £10-£15 per screen depending on screen size. There's no contract and no minimum spend, so you can put your gym in front of thousands of local people, test which screens bring members in, and scale up only when it pays off.

Digital billboards vs social media ads
| Feature | FameCake billboards | Social media ads |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to start | From £5, no minimum spend | Ongoing daily budgets that rise with competition |
| Who sees it | Everyone who passes the screen, no algorithm | Only the users the platform chooses to show it to |
| Getting ignored | Can't be skipped, blocked or scrolled past | Skipped, blocked or lost in a busy feed |
| Local catchment | The exact streets your members walk | Broad targeting that leaks outside your area |
| Setup | Live in minutes, AI designs it for you | Account setup, targeting and creative approval |
| Commitment | Pay per post, cancel anytime | Rolling spend just to stay visible |
Success Stories
“We put our New Year offer on the screen down the road and had walk-ins asking about it by the weekend. Cheaper than a month of boosted posts.”
“I run bootcamps and PT sessions on my own. Being able to put a class on a real billboard for a few pounds still feels mad.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to advertise a gym on a billboard?
You can post a text-only ad for one hour from just £5. A full day with your own creative costs £10-£15 per screen depending on screen size. No minimum spend, no contracts.
Is billboard advertising worth it for a gym?
It puts your gym in front of everyone who walks or drives past the screen, in the streets your members actually live and work in. No algorithm decides who sees it, and because you post by the day from a few pounds, you can test one screen before you commit.
How do I advertise my gym for the January rush?
Schedule your ads to go live from late December into January, when everyone is thinking about getting fit. Run a New Year membership offer on the screens nearest your gym and get in front of local people while their motivation is high.
Can I promote specific classes or a timetable?
Yes. Post an ad for a spin class, a new yoga session or a bootcamp, and change the message whenever your timetable does. It's a good way to fill quieter class slots.
Can I upload my own gym advert design?
Yes! You can upload your own creative or use our AI designer to generate professional artwork in seconds.
Can I target the area around my gym?
Yes. Browse screens by location and pick the billboards nearest your gym or studio, so you reach people inside your catchment who could realistically walk in.
How soon can my gym advert go live?
Most posts go live within minutes of paying. You can also schedule them for a specific day, like the first Monday of your membership drive.
Do I need a contract or minimum spend?
No. There are no contracts and no minimum spend. You pay per post and stop whenever you like.
