When gym demand peaks in Vancouver.
Searches for gyms in Vancouver peak in March at about 54,270 a month and bottom out in December at about 35,580, a swing of roughly 53%. The three busiest months over the last year were March, January and July.
We plan for that: new creative and a higher budget go live a few weeks before March, 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 Vancouver on its own calendar rather than a national one.
Total monthly searches for the terms above in Vancouver. Google rounds these figures, so small changes don't show.
