GUEST TESTIMONIALS

I loved the format. Trade shows are too busy with too many different people. Being able to sit with each supplier and discuss products and health clubs in general was great. I would love to participate again. Keith Larsen, Partner, Sports Academy

In 24 years, I have never been to an event as useful as this one. I also enjoyed the chance to talk to other club owners.
Jim Williams, Owner, Broadwater Athletic Clubs

Thank you for including me in such a wonderful event. The format was great and I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with each supplier. I appreciate all of the hospitality, wonderful events, meals and activities. The jeep tour was a great way for me to get to know the other folks. You thought of everything! Kristen McGowen-Group Vice President, Cowart Family YMCA Atlanta

Informative and very well organized. I look forward to attending these events in the future.

Thanks for making my stay special. I created many new relationships and event spent some big bucks on new equipment and services... Most of all thanks for the positive experience. Almost 25 years in this business and I still enjoy meeting and learning from others in our industry.

I love the opportunity to meet other owners who may face similar challenges/opportunities and learn & exchange ideas with them. Your program was great, and your organization was excellent.

The undivided attention I got from each supplier is better than anything I’ve participated in previous to this. I’d recommend this format to my fellow club owners.
Mike Connors, Owner, Optimal Fitness Systems International

I can’t say enough about the mix of club owners and suppliers.
Tracy Childress, Owner, French Riviera Fitness

I had a better introduction to much of the equipment and suppliers than I’d experienced in the past. I'm confident that some of the products introduced to will be implemented and help improve my business. The event was first class and a valuable use of my time.
Ed Soul, Owner, Beverly & Cambridge Health Clubs

What an experience. The format of the event was great. To get 20 minutes face to face with the suppliers vs. a trade show was just so valuable! I have improved on those all too important relationships that you must have with your suppliers. I came home with SO MUCH information... it was great. Thank you again.
Lori Guile, Senior Manager, Cedardale Health & Fitness
