Background of the study:
Online community management has become a cornerstone of social media marketing, particularly for fitness brands that rely on fostering supportive, interactive networks among users. In Lagos, fitness brands are increasingly utilizing dedicated online communities to engage customers, provide workout tips, and create a sense of belonging among enthusiasts. This study examines how effective community management contributes to enhanced brand loyalty and customer satisfaction through timely interactions, personalized content, and the cultivation of a positive online atmosphere (Ike, 2023). With the rise of health consciousness and digital fitness trends, social media platforms have emerged as powerful tools for brands to build relationships beyond transactional interactions (Olu, 2024). Effective community management not only drives user engagement but also creates opportunities for peer-to-peer motivation and support, which are particularly valuable in the fitness industry. Despite its potential, managing these communities presents challenges such as moderating content, addressing conflicts, and sustaining engagement over time. This research aims to analyze the role of online community management in social media marketing for a Lagos-based fitness brand, offering insights into best practices and areas for improvement (Umeh, 2025).
Statement of the problem:
Although online community management is pivotal for sustaining customer engagement in social media marketing, fitness brands in Lagos encounter several challenges. These include maintaining consistent interaction, moderating user-generated content, and addressing conflicts within the community (Ike, 2023). Additionally, there is a lack of clarity on how community management efforts translate into tangible business outcomes, such as increased brand loyalty and improved customer retention. The absence of clear metrics and strategies often results in fragmented engagement and suboptimal resource allocation. Consequently, fitness brands struggle to leverage their online communities fully, which limits their overall marketing effectiveness. This study seeks to address these issues by examining the challenges and opportunities in managing online communities in the fitness sector (Olu, 2024).

The findings will assist marketers in developing strategies that foster a vibrant and supportive community, ultimately enhancing customer loyalty and brand reputation (Umeh, 2025).
Scope and limitations of the study:
The study is limited to examining online community management within the context of social media marketing for a fitness brand in Lagos, Nigeria, and excludes other industries or locations.
