Remake a viral video for your gym by pasting its transcript into Claude or ChatGPT and having the AI interview you for your own story
Joe Strada, owner of Unleash'd Strength, a strength gym in Manassas Park, Virginia, on Two-Brain Business's Run a Profitable Gym podcast
He found a viral origin-story video from another small business (a family dry cleaner's immigration story), got its transcript, and pasted it into Claude or ChatGPT with the instruction to ask him questions so he could fill in the blanks and recreate the script for his own gym. He also uses the free version of ChatGPT to make and edit images for meme-style reels.
Claude $17/mo billed annually ($20 monthly) · ChatGPT Free $0; Go $8/mo; Plus $20/mo; Pro $100/mo (he says the images came from the free version).

Claude, ChatGPT, Instagram Edits, Google Photos
The problem
He wanted founder-led social content for the gym, including an origin-story video, without starting every script from a blank page.
What happened
The episode description says one meme-style video got five million views but zero followers, and a carousel brought in nearly 200 new followers; those figures aren't tied to the AI step. His warning: when he asked ChatGPT to make a family photo look more dramatic, it changed his daughter's face into "this mutant warp face," so he now checks any AI edit with people in it. Self-reported.

How to set it up yourself
- What Unleash'd Strength used: Claude or ChatGPT to re-script a viral video from its transcript, and free ChatGPT for meme images.
- Find a video that worked for another small business (not a competitor), and copy its transcript or write down what's said.
- Paste it into Claude or ChatGPT with the prompt below so it interviews you before writing anything.
- Answer its questions in your own words, then edit the script until it sounds like you. Film it with your own B-roll.
- If you use AI to edit photos, check every face before posting; never post an AI-edited photo of a member or child without looking closely.
Copy-paste prompt
Here is the transcript of a video that worked well for another small business: {PASTE TRANSCRIPT}. I want to make a video in the same structure about my gym, {GYM NAME} in {CITY}. Don't write anything yet. First ask me up to 8 questions, one at a time, so I can fill in my own story. Then write a script in the same structure and length, in my words, with notes on what B-roll to show for each line.We set up one AI automation in your tools, live within 48 hours of getting access, for $197.
