Highlights & Summary

Email Marketing Summary: In the Fitness industry, Rogue takes the lead in email marketing. They send a good number of emails, but their email scoring needs improvement. TRX Training and WIT Fitness are also strong performers in email marketing. On the other hand, brands like Echelon, Ergatta, and Peloton struggle with their email marketing, both in the number of emails sent and their email performance.

Email Deliverability Summary: Gymshark is a standout in email deliverability, with good average spam scores and fair email size optimization. On the contrary, brands like The DB Method and Echelon face challenges in email deliverability with poor spam scores and email size optimization.

Ads Performance Summary: Gymshark leads the pack in advertising performance, with the highest number of new ads detected and a variety of unique ad copies. Tonal and Vanquish Fitness also perform well in advertising. Brands like obé fitness and The DB Method need to enhance their advertising efforts as they have very few new ads detected and limited ad diversity.

Social Ads Diversity Summary: TRX Training stands out for social ad diversity, especially in using video assets. Quell and PRx Performance also perform well in social ad diversity. In contrast, brands like FightCamp and The DB Method have limited social ad diversity, with no or very few videos in their ads.
