You know how important it is to share written and video testimonials from happy customers on Instagram to market your app. But did you know there’s any even easier form of social proof you can use to promote your app to new potential customers?

Before and after photos from current clients are an excellent way to market your fitness app. By visually sharing the results your happy customers have achieved following your programs and challenges, you’re more likely to turn your Instagram followers into app subscribers — and that means more money in your pocket.
