When actor Chris Hemsworth is not on screen swinging Thor’s hammer, you can usually find him in the gym crushing a weight training workout with Luke Zocchi of Zoco Body Pro. Hemsworth uses Zocchi’s expertise to get in shape for major movie roles, but Zoco Body Pro’s target market is the regular joe. Having A-list clients was enough to attract viewers to the company’s social media, but they have stayed for the incredible content.

Some people like to be yelled at, that old-school, drill sergeant approach, but I normally train alongside the people I work with and that’s how I like to do it.
This strategy is excellent for customers lucky enough to live near Zoco Body Pro, but the company has made a move on social media that will also help potential customers that can’t travel to “The Iron Temple”. They have recently launched a program called Twenty40 training that allows anyone on Earth to try the same workout regimen that has produced world famous results. This is an online venture that provides customers with step by step instructions on how to sculpt their goal physique, as well as giving nutrition tips to help fuel the new body. Zoco Body Pro uses many aspects of social media effectively to run their organization, and this new program will help spread their fitness message world wide.
Zoco Body Pro started as a small personal training business, and grew into a global training movement. People saw Chris Hemsworth’s amazing fitness transformation, and began to search for the secret to it online. This is how many people discovered the Zoco Body Pro pages. The company’s social media home is Instagram where they have developed an extremely popular fitness page. The page is devoted to providing the followers with easy healthy meals, as well as suggesting quick daily workouts. While customers may come looking for the quick secret to Thor-like gains, they will stay when they see the quality and efficiency of Zoco Body Pro’s plans.

The company’s cooking videos are sure to get a laugh out of even the most stone-faced humans. Any company has access to a massive group of people searching the web for niches that interest them, and it is up to that company to capture their attention. Letting an organizations personality show is a great way to endear customers into following that brand.

The program is directly designed to benefit the viewers of his social media, who need frequent workout and diet tips. The program allows takes the benefit of his Instagram page to the next level, and provides serious value to customers.
Zoco Body Pro knew early that he wanted to develop the Twenty40 program, but needed to capture his audiences attention. He created an Instagram post that encouraged customers to enter their email in a queue to keep them updated on the progress of his site. This kept his customers engaged during the time that the site was in development. Once everything was ready to go, the company sent an email out encouraging people to view his new system. The email came with a discount code for the loyal followers who were more tuned in long before the original launch. This technique shows Zoco Body Pro’s ability to connect all their social media platforms, and drive traffic to money making endeavours.
Lessons for Others
Active social media can turn a small business into a global one.

Using social media to post a company’s triumphs, no matter how small, can help to get a business noticed. Truly world-class entrepreneurs can be discovered by posting quality.
While not every business will use social media to become a global brand, organizations can take note of Zoco Body Pro’s use of free content. The free workouts and diet ideas that the company provides on Social Media have attracted many new customers to the business. Giving potential customers a sample of what they will receive for will encourage them to purchase a product.
