Strategy summary

What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.

TL;DR

Training reels dominate engagement, with post 18 exploding to 8678 likes on finishing drills and posts 7-9 averaging 5000+ likes. Actionable 'reps remove doubt' CTAs turn viewers into sharers across six high-performers. Yet 2.1 posts per week starves momentum for 48k followers, leaking potential virality. Motivation carousels like post 29 (112 comments) retain loyalty through stories. Increase cadence to benchmark 5 weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Balance 60% drills to 40% lifestyle for sustained growth, hitting UGC at 0% keeps it authentic but explore credits for variety.

Working

5
  • Training drills rack up likes, post 18 at 8678.
  • 'Reps remove doubt' CTA reused 6x boosts interaction.
  • Motivation posts drive comments, post 29 hits 112.
  • Brand authentic plugs like post 17 engage without selling hard.
  • Consistent hashtag and follow CTA builds habit.

Risks

5
  • Cadence stuck at 2.1 posts per week limits reach.
  • Underperformers like post 1 with -1 likes need better hooks.
  • Overreliance on journey CTA across 25 posts risks fatigue.
  • Few hour variations; test windows for peaks.
  • Low carousel saves versus reels; amp drill CTAs.

Ship next

5
  • Ramp to 5 posts weekly prioritizing Wed-Thu drills.
  • Produce 3 new training reels using 'Reps remove doubt' hook.
  • Test 9-11am posts on Saturdays for reach.
  • Analyze low like reels like post 1 and pivot.
  • Blend 60% drills with 20% motivation carousels.
