Thank you for taking the time to explain everything and for considering me for the role. I really appreciate the opportunity and enjoyed hearing more about your plans for the gym’s social media.

After thinking more carefully about the scope of content creation, posting frequency, and overall responsibilities involved, I’ve realized that the role and compensation are not the right fit for me at this time. I apologize that I’m not able to move forward or provide exactly what you’re looking for.

I also have a lot of respect for the impact strong social media efforts can have for a business, and I believe that work deserves to be approached in a way that reflects the time, strategy, and effort required to do it well. Because of that, I think we’re simply in different places in terms of expectations for the position.

I truly wish you the best with the gym and hope you’re able to find someone who aligns well with what you’re looking for.
