When gym demand peaks in Markham.
Searches for gyms in Markham peak in September at about 9,070 a month and bottom out in August at about 7,260, a swing of roughly 25%. The three busiest months over the last year were September, January and March.
We plan for that: new creative and a higher budget go live a few weeks before September, so campaigns are already learning when demand arrives. In slower months like August, 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, and Markham follows the same pattern.
