CFCNX Social Media Assistant

Posts that bring new people to CFCNX.

Every post should help bring new people to the gym: a first class, a DM, or a walk-in.

Main rule

One useful post is better than many random posts.

Start with one strong post each week. Get the filming, caption, CTA, and results check right before adding more posts.

Persona Pick one persona before filming.

Hannah, Jill, John, or The Johnson Family. No mixed-message posts.

Pain Open with the hesitation.

Too tired, injury risk, inconsistency, no time, intimidation.

Proof Show the CFCNX difference.

Coaching, scaling, clean setup, community, or reliable schedule.

CTA Ask for one low-risk action.

First class on us. Message START. Drop in this week.

Trial signups Primary signal
DM conversations Primary signal
Walk-ins Primary signal

Personas

Speak to one person at a time.

A useful post makes a specific person in Chiang Mai feel like the first step was designed for them.

Post Type Guide

Choose the post type first. Then write the message.

Start here when deciding what to make. Choose short video, photo post, or stories. Then use the builder and the platform notes.

Priority Ladder

Make the most important posts first.

Use this order when deciding what to make first. Stories are useful, but short videos and photo posts matter more.

Priority 1 Short video

Best for reaching new people, showing coaching, and showing the gym in motion.

Priority 2 Photo posts

Best for announcements, proof, and keeping the Instagram grid clear.

Priority 3 Stories

Best for showing what is happening today. Feed posts are more important.

Short video

Short Video Builder

Use this to turn one persona, one pain point, and one CTA into a short video. Two examples for each choice are shown so you can pick the clearer one.

1
Beat 1: Direct hook

Name the persona and the problem before they scroll past.

2
Beat 2: The real problem

Show the problem: fatigue, fear of injury, no routine, or no time with family.

3
Beat 3: CFCNX support

Show coaching, scaling, briefing, or community. Do not explain without proof.

4
Beat 4: The payoff

Make the first visit feel safe, clear, serious, or easy to start.

5
Beat 5: CTA

Ask for one action: try a class, DM us, or drop in this week.

Platform notes

Use the right style for each app.

Use these notes after the message is clear and the persona is chosen.

Instagram

  • Show coached movement, arrival, or community first.
  • Short caption: hook, proof, CTA.
  • Use DM sticker, link sticker, or reply prompt when available.

TikTok

  • Hook in the first 2 seconds.
  • Problem, solution, payoff.
  • Fast cuts. No random workout montage without context.

YouTube Shorts

  • Use a slightly clearer story.
  • Let the member or coach say one specific line.
  • End with the first class or DM action.

Photo Posts

Keep the grid recognizable and fast to publish.

Photo posts are the second priority after short videos. They should be quick to make, easy to read, and useful without becoming a heavy design project.

Look Same look every week.

Use the same logo placement, type style, colors, spacing, and photo treatment.

Speed Fast to make.

Pick the photo, apply a reusable template, write the caption, publish.

Message One job only.

Choose proof, environment, education, or offer. Do not mix every idea into one post.

People Real people first.

Prioritize members, coaches, class moments, and community over empty equipment shots.

Photo post plans

Use the same layout each time.

A photo post should feel like CFCNX before someone reads the caption. Keep it readable at phone size.

Open CFCNX template tool
01
Member proof

One strong member photo, one short quote, and a simple DM or trial prompt.

02
Coach tip

One cue or mistake correction. Keep the image clean and let the caption explain.

03
Class recap

Use a real class photo with the date, class type, and one line about the session.

04
Offer or schedule

Make the action obvious: first class, drop-in, schedule change, or limited offer.

05
Same grid style

Use the same crop ratios, logo area, margins, and color system across the month.

06
Caption support

Even photo posts should name the audience, the proof, and the next step when relevant.

Stories

Show what happened today.

These are stories. They disappear after 24 hours. They do not need to be perfect. Post stories to show the gym is busy. But feed posts are more important.

Priority Lower priority.

Make these after short videos and feed posts are done.

Purpose Show today.

Show the class, coaching, warmups, stretches, and small wins.

Length Max 30 seconds.

Keep it short and easy to watch.

CTA Light CTA only.

Ask “Want to join next time?” only when it feels natural.

Edit Simple and real.

Keep it simple. Easy to read. Do not spend a long time editing.

Today's Class Flow

Simple story plan.

Use this to show what happened today. It does not need to be polished.

01
Coach instruction

Open with the coach explaining the focus or one movement cue.

02
Movement focus

Show each movement on a different member so the class feels human.

03
Scaled then RX

When there are only a few movements, show the scaled version first, then the RX version.

04
Class energy

Use one quick clip that shows the room working, not a random intensity montage.

05
Closing stretch

End with a quick video of the stretches, cooldown, or post-class reset.

06
Optional reply prompt

Use a Soft CTA like “Want to join next time?” only when it feels natural.

Reusable Post Plans

Use the same post plans every week.

Choose one post plan, replace the bracketed parts with a real member detail, and keep the CTA direct.

Shot Lists

Film proof, not filler.

Capture useful clips every week. Even if there is no finished edit planned yet.

Capture every week

  • Member walking into CFCNX.
  • Coach greeting or briefing the member.
  • Scaled movement option beside the standard version.
  • Member training safely with visible coach supervision.
  • Coach correction or encouragement.
  • Mic Your Coaches: one cue, one correction, one check-in.
  • Community interaction before or after class.
  • Member saying one clear line to camera.

Avoid

  • Random workout clips with no persona or pain point.
  • Intense clips as the first thing beginners see.
  • Long mixed clips where nobody feels like the main person.
  • Captions that explain CrossFit but never ask for action.
  • Generic motivation, quotes, or “no excuses” language.
  • Global fitness content with no Chiang Mai context.
  • Any short video without a trial, DM, or drop-in CTA.

Editing Standard

Keep the edit simple.

Edit to make the message easy to understand. Do not try to make it look fancy.

Same system

Reusable gym templates.

Every video should look the same. This makes videos faster to make and easier to recognize as CFCNX.

  • Same hook style for each recurring series.
  • Same name style for members.
  • Same subtitle placement and text size.
  • Same end card with Message START or First class on us.
Do not spend a long time on color.

Make footage bright, clean, and consistent. Do not spend time chasing a cinematic look.

Make it easy to understand.

The viewer should understand who the post is for and what to do next without replaying.

Use saved edit patterns.

Proof, walkthrough, education, and offer posts should each have a saved edit pattern.

Publishing Checklist

Check before posting.

If a box cannot be checked, revise before publishing. No CTA means the content is not ready.

01
One persona only

The post clearly targets Hannah, Jill, John, or The Johnson Family.

02
One post type only

Proof, Environment, Education, or Offer. Do not blend purposes.

03
One pain point only

The hook names a real barrier to starting, not a broad fitness goal.

04
Show why CFCNX is different

Coaching, scaling, class structure, community, facility, or schedule.

05
Chiang Mai context included

Expat life, international schools, digital nomads, families, or local pace.

06
Tell people what to do next

Message START, First class on us, Try a class, or Drop in this week.

Examples

Make the weak post useful.

A strong post names the person, shows the concern, shows why CFCNX helps, and gives a next step.

Generic gym content

Great energy in class today. Everyone worked hard and pushed themselves. Come train with us.

  • No specific pain point.
  • No CFCNX reason.

Reference Accounts

Look at accounts that are easy to follow.

Use these accounts for ideas. Do not copy them. Look for clear post types, the same look each week, real people, and local context. Every CFCNX post still needs one persona, one pain point, a CFCNX-specific reason, and a CTA.

Weekly Post Mix

Build toward this weekly rhythm.

Start with one weekly Proof post. Add the full mix only after member clips, captions, and CTA checks are easy to repeat.
