When gym demand peaks in Calgary.
Searches for gyms in Calgary peak in January at about 44,020 a month and bottom out in December at about 33,720, a swing of roughly 31%. The three busiest months over the last year were January, September and March.
We plan for that: new creative and a higher budget go live a few weeks before January, so campaigns are already learning when demand arrives. In slower months like December, the money usually works harder on retention, rebook reminders and win-back messages to past members than on chasing fewer searches.
Most Canadian cities we track peak in September for gyms, so it's worth planning Calgary on its own calendar rather than a national one.
