The Health & Fitness Network - 2027 Q1: Branding + Content

Welcome back to The South Yorkshire Health & Fitness Network!

This is the first event of the year, and the one that decides what the rest of your marketing looks like.

Most people in health and fitness start January by making more. More posts, and a new look pulled together in an evening. By March it has drifted, because none of it was built on anything that was yours to begin with. This morning is about changing that.

Whether you are self-employed or running a limited company, the aim is the same. Look like the business you actually are, and stop building it again from scratch every week.

Our guest speakers: Leanne Keetley

Leanne is an award-winning graphic designer and brand specialist. Strategy-first branding, print and digital design, built around your business.

Leanne works across diverse industries, from healthcare and beauty to industrial and trades; this fast-paced role honed her ability to deliver creative, on-brand solutions under tight deadlines. Today, Leanne brings her extensive experience to every project, crafting unique, well-researched designs that help clients stand out and grow.

Her talk: Building Branding That Showcases You

Leanne is opening the morning on what a brand actually is and why most of us have not got one. A logo you made in Canva, a font you liked, a colour you picked because it looked clean. That is not a brand; it is decoration, and it cannot be owned, defended or built on. Leanne will cover what separates a real identity from a nice-looking one, why consistency does more work than creativity, and why a brand that does not say what you stand for will keep attracting the wrong clients.

You will leave with a clear sense of whether what you have is worth keeping, and what it would take to fix it.

Our guest speakers: Beckie Rhodes

Beckie runs Sangha Social, marketing and communications built specifically for wellness businesses. She is not a marketer who found fitness. She has taught yoga full time for five years, hosted sound baths for two, works as a studio manager, and came to this from a background in communications and design. She started Sangha Social because she had spent years marketing her own classes and events and knew how hard it is to do while you are also the one teaching.

Her talk: Sharing Content That Showcases You

Her half of the morning is the practical one. Once you know what your brand is, content stops being something you invent from scratch on a Sunday night and becomes something you assemble. Beckie will cover how to build content that fits your business rather than chasing whatever is working for someone else, how to batch and schedule so your feed stays consistent through a busy month, and the quick wins that get you posting without it eating your evenings.

You will leave with a handful of content ideas you can actually use and a way of planning them that survives January.

Our host venue

We head to Hotpod Yoga Sheffield. It is an immersive yoga studio that sits in the heart of the city centre. Heated to 37 degrees, with low lighting, calming scents and relaxing beats, they create a fully immersive space to switch off and tune in. Whether you’re here to train hard, unwind and relax or give your body some well-deserved muscle recovery, you’ll feel the shift the second you step out of the pod.

Open networking, structured introductions so nobody is left standing on their own, our expert talks and then question time.
