TESTIMONIALS “I have absolutely loved the support given to us by the team at YEG Fitness. Consumers are known to trust recommendations from people they know. YEG Fitness does a great job getting out into the community and building that network of readers looking for fun and effective ways to lead a healthy lifestyle. The advertising package we purchased not only allows us to post on their website, but they do a spectacular job helping us grow our business by being present through the various social media avenues and they get involved and attend events we host. They also encourage us to get involved in events/contests they host so we can additionally advertise through prize giveaways etc. YEG Fitness advertises positively to provide quality information for their audience.’
JORDAN LAW OWNER, SPINUNITY STUDIO
I have been using YEG Fitness for over a year now, and have been nothing but happy. I chose YEG Fitness to advertise because it encompasses a community fitness spirit with a passion for all that is health, wellness and fitness. It is a perfect fit for my business vision and values. I have been extremely happy with the return on investment I have made with YEG Fitness. The YEG Fitness team is passionate, professional and prompt; some of the best customer service I have seen in a while.
