Tip of the Week #41- How to Post a Reel from the Design Library to Your Social Media

Want to spice up your social media with some engaging video content? Gym Lead Machine makes it super easy! In this tip, we’ll show you how to use a reel from the Design Library and post it directly to your social platforms using the built-in posting tools.

🖌 Step 1: Grab a Reel from the Design Library

Log in to your Gym Lead Machine account.
Head to the Design Library.
Scroll through the available designs and find a reel you’d like to use (for example: “The Importance of Stretching”).
Click on Edit This Design — this will open up the reel template in Canva.

💡 You’ll need a Canva account to edit the template. A free account works just fine!

🎨 Step 2: Customize the Reel

In Canva, simply swap out the default logo (like the “Kilos” logo) with your gym’s logo.
Once you’re done customizing, click Download at the top-right corner.
Make sure to download the file as an MP4 video.

📲 Step 3: Upload and Post to Social Media

Back in Gym Lead Machine, go to Marketing → Social Planner (or New Post).
Click Create New Post.
Choose the platforms you want to post to (Facebook, Instagram, or both).
Upload your reel:
- Click Upload, select your downloaded MP4 file, and upload it to your media library.
- Once uploaded, select the video.
Mark it as a Reel for each platform.
Add your caption or ad copy — you can even customize it for each platform if you want.

🗓 Step 4: Post or Schedule

Click Post Now to publish it immediately, or
Set a future time and click Schedule.

🎉 That’s it! Your reel will go out to your selected platforms without ever leaving Gym Lead Machine.

💡 Tip for Website-Only Clients

If you’re not using the full Gym Lead Machine platform and only have a website with us, you can still use the reel! Just download it from Canva and post it manually to your Facebook/Instagram page.
