In this episode of Top Rated Gym Podcast, Taylor Watkins, CEO of Digital Revenue Systems, shares how fitness centers can unlock passive revenue, enhance member experience, and boost internal sales using something they already own: their screens. If you’re still treating your TVs like background noise, it’s time to rethink what’s possible with gym TV advertising.
You’re Already Advertising – You’re Just Not Getting Paid
If your TVs are showing cable, ESPN, or random YouTube playlists, they’re already running ads. But for someone else. Taylor says gym owners can reclaim that attention and turn it into revenue by implementing strategic gym TV advertising, displaying curated, local, and branded content that serves both their business and advertisers.
Monetize Without Lifting a Finger
DRS brings in advertisers for you, handles creative, manages the software, and even provides the screens if needed. With revenue-sharing built in and programmatic ad placement from national brands, gyms can earn thousands annually, completely passively.
Screens That Sell: The Hidden Power of Member-Facing Messaging
A well-placed screen doesn’t just inform, it drives action. Promote your smoothie of the month, fill empty PT slots, announce classes, or celebrate member wins. According to Taylor, this “always-on” internal promotion can directly increase per-visit revenue.
Why DIY Digital Signage Fails (and How DRS Solves It)
Most gym owners try to wing it. Buying TVs, fumbling with USB sticks, and uploading old slideshows. Taylor explains why this quickly turns into a nightmare and how DRS handles everything from creative design to real-time content scheduling and maintenance.
The Data Advantage: Track ROI, Improve Offers, Prove Impact
DRS doesn’t just throw content on screens, they back it with data. From QR code clicks to Google Analytics traffic, A/B testing, and audience reports, Watkins’ system gives gym owners real proof that digital signage drives results.
