As a result, consumers can decide what gym or fitness studio is right for them. At the same time, by understanding the type of social proof that works best, you can ensure that your marketing efforts are more successful. A lot of social proof statistics back this up, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> First of all, 83% of consumers don\u2019t trust the ads they see on social media, radio, TV, etc. [<a href=\"https:\/\/statuslabs.com\/reputation-management-stats-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Status Labs<\/strong><\/a>] They prefer hearing about businesses from reviews.
