Using the right fitness keywords can transform the success of your website. Whether you run a gym studio or fitness blog, keywords can help your site show up on search engine results. But how do you know which ones to include in your content?

In this article – we share a ready-made list of health and fitness-related keywords, plus an easy way to research new ideas.

Keywords tell search engines like Google and Bing what your website is about, so they know which search terms to rank it highly for. Getting visitors from search engines is a cost-effective way to generate high-quality leads and sales, since they’ve usually searched for your services. So, it’s worth creating your web content with keywords in mind (known as search engine optimisation or SEO) to take advantage of this.

Health & Fitness Keywords List

Let’s kick off by looking at the top fitness keywords that people are searching for online…

Fitness
Workout
Personal trainer
Crossfit
Exercise
Aerobic exercise
Aerobics
Gym workout
Bodybuilding
Strength training
Stretching
Pilates
Calisthenics
Running
P90X
Push-up
Pull-up
Functional training
Circuit training
Bodypump

Realistically, it’s really hard for most websites to rank highly for these terms. They’re just too competitive, especially if you’re just starting your site. But despite this, you need to have them on your gym or fitness website (if they’re relevant to your business) so that Google knows what your site is about.

The good news is there’s a really easy way to find less competitive keywords that you can rank for easily. We’ll get to that in a sec, but first let’s look at some of the top keywords for gyms and personal trainers…

Gym Keywords

Here’s a selection of keywords for gyms, fitness studios, or health clubs…

Gym near me
Local gym
Gyms in [insert your town or neighbourhood]
Fitness classes near me
Crossfit near me
Gym membership
Fitness center
Gym workout
Cardio equipment
Strength equipment
Workout classes
HIIT classes
Les Mills classes
Aerobic classes
Best gym near me

If you optimise a fitness club’s website to include these keywords, you’ll be on solid ground SEO-wise. Adding your location means you’ll rank for terms that people in your area are searching for. If you’re a gym in London, there’s no point in attracting web visitors from San Francisco since they aren’t going to join your club…

As with gyms, including your location will help you attract clients in your local area. But if you’re an online trainer or fitness blogger, then this is less relevant (since you can coach people from anywhere).
