But what about other local search and review sites? There’s hundreds of them out there but which ones should you use? Don’t worry about getting listed on every single local search page.

You might want to use Pinterest for CrossFit since it's the fastest growing social network in the world. If you like using it then I’d recommend that you try it out. Pinterest is a website where you have a pinboard and you can share photos and put them in collections. If you regularly take pictures of your CrossFit box, then Pinterest may be a great option for you.
Optimizing for local search for your gym is crucial to getting leads online. Since you’re a gym or a fitness business, you’ll probably want people who are local to find you. If you’re located in Florida, it doesn't help you get more members if you target people in California.
