When gym demand peaks in Kitchener.
Searches for gyms in Kitchener peak in January at about 8,680 a month and bottom out in December at about 6,490, a swing of roughly 34%. The three busiest months over the last year were January, September and June.
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 Kitchener on its own calendar rather than a national one.
