## Fitness & Wellness PR — frequently asked questions

**What is fitness PR?**

Fitness and wellness PR is the practice of earning media coverage and credibility for gyms, trainers, and wellness brands — getting credentialed experts quoted in health press, booked on podcasts, published in fitness outlets, and recommended when people ask AI assistants where to train or what actually works. It combines media relations, expert positioning, awards, and generative engine optimization (GEO).

**How do fitness and wellness brands get press coverage?**

The fastest path is answering journalist requests: health and fitness reporters post source queries on HARO, Connectively, X, and LinkedIn daily, and they need certified experts to support or debunk trends. Layer on evidence-based bylines, podcast guest spots, seasonal story pitches around New Year and summer, and award submissions. Featured surfaces all of these in one chat and drafts responses citing your credentials.

**How much does fitness PR cost?**

PR budgets vary widely with scope, goals, and the partners involved. Featured itself is free to start, with paid plans at $39/month (Lite) and $79/month (Pro, billed annually) — and every plan includes every capability: journalist requests, podcasts, bylines, awards, monitoring, and GEO tracking. Many fitness brands and their agency partners run Featured alongside their existing PR programs.

**What is GEO (generative engine optimization) for wellness brands?**

GEO is the practice of improving how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini recommend your brand. When people ask “best gyms in [city]” or “best recovery tools,” those answers are built from press coverage, reviews, and community discussion like r/Fitness. Featured audits your AI visibility for your prompts and tracks changes ahead of peak seasons.

**How do I get my brand mentioned in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers?**

AI engines cite brands that appear consistently across credible sources: health press, local “best of” lists, reviews, r/Fitness-style communities, and podcasts. That means earned media is the input to AI visibility. Run a GEO audit to see where you stand today, then close the gap with journalist requests, bylines, and podcast placements — and measure weekly.

**Is HARO still active for fitness sources?**

Yes. Featured owns and operates HARO (Help a Reporter Out) and Connectively, and an expert is connected with a publisher every 6 seconds across the platforms. Fitness topics — strength training, recovery, longevity, wearable data — are among the most frequently requested source categories, and Featured matches you to relevant queries automatically.

**How do I find fitness journalists to pitch?**

Ask Featured to build a media list of reporters who have covered your topic in the last 90 days — for example, “journalists writing about strength training for women.” You'll get names, outlets, beats, and recent headlines, so every pitch references the reporter's actual work instead of going in cold.

**How long does fitness PR take to show results?**

Journalist-request responses can land placements within days, since reporters are on deadline. Bylines and podcasts typically take 2–8 weeks from pitch to publish. AI visibility moves more slowly: expect roughly 1–3 months for new coverage to shift how AI assistants answer, which is why continuous tracking beats one-off audits.

**Who uses Featured for fitness PR?**

Gym and studio owners, certified trainers building profiles, wellness brand founders, and agencies scaling coverage for fitness clients. Agencies are among Featured's power users: the co-pilot handles opportunity discovery, drafting, and monitoring around the clock, so strategists can spend their time on messaging, relationships, and counsel.

**Which fitness awards and podcasts should we target?**

Start with industry awards and your local “best gym/studio” programs, plus product honors for wellness brands, then let Featured track entry windows. For podcasts, Featured's database tracks 814,000 active shows; describe your expertise in plain language and it returns fitness and wellness shows that actually book credentialed guests.
