  • #143 Should You Leave Instagram or Stay as Fitness Coach
    Oct 20 2025

    Feeling frustrated with Instagram lately? You’re not alone. In this episode, we dive into the real conversation many coaches are having — whether it’s time to leave the platform or simply change how you’re using it.

    Instagram isn’t what it was in 2019 or even 2022. But it’s still where people go to look you up — your online résumé. The question isn’t just “Should I stay or go?” It’s “How do I make Instagram work for the kind of business and life I want now?”

    We’ll unpack:

    • Why engagement feels down and what’s really behind it
    • The difference betweenusing Instagram and depending on it
    • How to pivot your strategy to align with your business today
    • What to do if you’re ready to grow off social (without disappearing online)

    👉 Perfect for: Online health & fitness coaches who feel tired of the algorithm and want a more grounded, sustainable way to attract clients.
