Hey Bryan, I think QR codes, apps, and SMS are all great... but what about a mobile-friendly website?
They have geolocation and I think they would be great for gyms. If you want to get to a gym, just type in their website on your phone's browser, hit Find Near Me and then you'll be directed to the location closest to you based on your phone's GPS.
Also, once someone scans a QR code it could take them to the mobile website. Much more effective than just starting a video telling about the product or service.
What do you think about the future of mobile web??

If you look at my presentation the first thing I recommend to do is check if your web site is mobile ready ! So you are right. I also suggest they create a mobile app and show them how to. So we are on the same page. The research in the report embeded in the post hopefully reflects my belief in the future of mobile. Thanks for your comments ! What do you think ?
