Format Guide

Pick the format, then build the message.

This section separates the short-form video structure from platform-specific direction. Use the Short-Form Video Builder to shape the message, then use Platform Directions when adapting it to Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts.

Short-form video

Short-Form Video Builder

Use this when turning one persona, one pain point, and one CTA into a short video. Two examples per scenario are generated so the first idea is not treated as final.

1
Beat 1: Direct hook

Call out the persona and their hesitation before they scroll past.

2
Beat 2: The real problem

Show the barrier: fatigue, fear of injury, inconsistency, or family time pressure.

3
Beat 3: CFCNX support

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

4
Beat 4: The payoff

Make the prospect feel the first visit is safe, structured, serious, or practical.

5
Beat 5: CTA

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

Cross-platform adaptation (optional next step)

Platform Directions

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

Instagram

  • Visual-first: show coached movement, arrival, or community.
  • 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

  • Slightly clearer narrative arc.
  • Let the member or coach say one specific line.
  • End with the first class or DM action.

Reusable Templates

Post from structure, not inspiration.

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

Template 01

Before CrossFit, I...

Proof
Platform: Instagram Persona: [Choose one only] Content Pillar: Proof Hook: [Persona-specific pain] Main Content: Before CrossFit, I [specific hesitation or problem]. Now I [specific change]. At CFCNX, [why this worked here: coaching, scaling, schedule, community, or facility]. CTA: Message START to try your first class this week.
Template 02

First Class Walkthrough

Environment
Platform: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube Shorts Persona: [Jill, Hannah, or The Johnson Family] Content Pillar: Environment Hook: New to CrossFit in Chiang Mai? Here is what your first class actually looks like. Main Content: Arrive. Meet the coach. Learn the movements. Scale the workout. Train with the group. CTA: Message START and we will help you choose the right first class.
Template 03

One Beginner Mistake

Education
Platform: TikTok / YouTube Shorts Persona: [Choose one only] Content Pillar: Education Hook: Most beginners in Chiang Mai make this training mistake. Main Content: They start too hard, train without feedback, then stop because progress feels random. At CFCNX, coaches scale the workout and help you progress without guessing. CTA: Try a coached class this week.
Template 04

Coach Expertise Video

Education
Platform: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube Shorts Persona: [Choose one only] Content Pillar: Education Hook: Here Is What Your Coach Sees when you train. Main Content: Most people only see the workout. Your coach sees the setup, the range of motion, the safe scaling option, and the one cue that will help you move better. At CFCNX, coach education matters because it changes the experience in class: safer movement, clearer corrections, and training with purpose. CTA: Try a coached class this week. Message START. Optional Visual Direction: Mic Your Coaches. Capture one real cue, one movement correction, and one check-in after class. Keep it simple and real.
Template 05

First Class Offer

Offer
Platform: Instagram / Facebook Persona: [Choose one only] Content Pillar: Offer Hook: Thinking about trying CrossFit in Chiang Mai? Main Content: Your first class is on us. We will help you choose the right session, explain what to expect, and scale the workout to your level. CTA: DM START to book your first class. Drop in this week.

Shot Lists

Film proof, not filler.

The social manager should capture reusable acquisition footage every week, even when 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.
  • Intimidating intensity as the first visual for beginners.
  • Broad montages where nobody feels like the main character.
  • 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.

Editing should make the message clear, not make the video look expensive. The goal is a repeatable CFCNX style that the social manager can produce every week.

Core rule

No crazy edits.

Use clean cuts, readable text, natural audio when useful, and a direct CTA. If the edit makes the viewer notice the editing more than the member proof story, simplify it.

  • Cut dead time before adding effects.
  • Put the hook on screen in the first 2 seconds.
  • Use captions only where they clarify the message.
  • End with the CTA, not a long montage.
Reusable system

Reusable gym templates.

Create reusable gym templates for the main formats and reuse them afterwards. Consistency makes production faster and makes CFCNX easier to recognize.

  • Same hook style for each recurring series.
  • Same lower-third style for member names.
  • Same subtitle placement and text size.
  • Same end card with Message START or First class on us.
Long color grading is not required.

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

Clarity beats effects.

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

Templates protect consistency.

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 content pillar 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
CFCNX-specific reason included

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

05
Chiang Mai context included

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

06
CTA is direct

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 prospect, shows the concern, proves the CFCNX answer, and gives a next step.

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