Hannah, Jill, John, or The Johnson Family. No mixed-message posts.
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.
Too tired, injury risk, inconsistency, no time, intimidation.
Coaching, scaling, clean setup, community, or reliable schedule.
First class on us. Message START. Drop in this week.
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.
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.
Best for reaching new people, showing coaching, and showing the gym in motion.
Best for announcements, proof, and keeping the Instagram grid clear.
Best for showing what is happening today. Feed posts are more important.
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.
Name the persona and the problem before they scroll past.
Show the problem: fatigue, fear of injury, no routine, or no time with family.
Show coaching, scaling, briefing, or community. Do not explain without proof.
Make the first visit feel safe, clear, serious, or easy to start.
Ask for one action: try a class, DM us, or drop in this week.
Use the right style for each app.
Use these notes after the message is clear and the persona is chosen.
- 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.
Use the same logo placement, type style, colors, spacing, and photo treatment.
Pick the photo, apply a reusable template, write the caption, publish.
Choose proof, environment, education, or offer. Do not mix every idea into one post.
Prioritize members, coaches, class moments, and community over empty equipment shots.
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 toolOne strong member photo, one short quote, and a simple DM or trial prompt.
One cue or mistake correction. Keep the image clean and let the caption explain.
Use a real class photo with the date, class type, and one line about the session.
Make the action obvious: first class, drop-in, schedule change, or limited offer.
Use the same crop ratios, logo area, margins, and color system across the month.
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.
Make these after short videos and feed posts are done.
Show the class, coaching, warmups, stretches, and small wins.
Keep it short and easy to watch.
Ask “Want to join next time?” only when it feels natural.
Keep it simple. Easy to read. Do not spend a long time editing.
Simple story plan.
Use this to show what happened today. It does not need to be polished.
Open with the coach explaining the focus or one movement cue.
Show each movement on a different member so the class feels human.
When there are only a few movements, show the scaled version first, then the RX version.
Use one quick clip that shows the room working, not a random intensity montage.
End with a quick video of the stretches, cooldown, or post-class reset.
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.

First Class Walkthrough
One Beginner Mistake
Coach Expertise Video
First Class Offer
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.
No crazy edits.
Use clean cuts, readable text, natural audio when useful, and a direct CTA. If the editing gets in the way of the story, make it simpler.
- 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 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.
Make footage bright, clean, and consistent. Do not spend time chasing a cinematic look.
The viewer should understand who the post is for and what to do next without replaying.
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.
The post clearly targets Hannah, Jill, John, or The Johnson Family.
Proof, Environment, Education, or Offer. Do not blend purposes.
The hook names a real barrier to starting, not a broad fitness goal.
Coaching, scaling, class structure, community, facility, or schedule.
Expat life, international schools, digital nomads, families, or local pace.
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
- No persona.
- No specific pain point.

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.
- Notice how the account shows the whole gym, not only workouts.
- Look for the same style across facility, class, and community posts.
- Use the idea for CFCNX with Chiang Mai expat context and a first-class CTA.

- Use the idea for CFCNX without losing the simple path: pain, proof, action.
- Notice how the account shows a clean, serious training space.
- Look at how class quality and coaching are shown quickly.
- Use the idea for John-style people who want a serious gym worth their time.
