    PRESS RELEASE: Australia’s First Technology Summit For Fitness Businesses

    Fitness Industry Technology Summit

    On July 25thand 26th, the inaugural Fitness Industry Technology Summit will take place in Sydney.  The event will have seven speakers from outside the fitness industry who use technology to analyse consumer behaviour and sharpen their marketing messages.

    “As a fitness business we have loads of data on our prospects and members and this event will teach business owners to use this data to refine their services and marketing messages,” said Justin Tamsett, Managing Director of Active Management and host of the Fitness Industry Technology Summit.

    Modelled on the success of overseas ‘tech’ summits this event will deliver the latest content from digital marketing experts.

    Brook Dixon, CEO of Smart City, is a confirmed speaker who will share how technology in the future will change our everyday lives.  Brook’s keynote will be delivered just prior to delegates enjoying a Christmas in July dinner.

    Six speakers will feature on the 26thJuly including Alex Burrows, CEO of Active Exchange where he will share how data will impact the services, design and even location of your fitness business; Chris Taylor, CEO of the National Heart Foundation, will speak on improving retention by looking at what you already know about your members; and Matt Ware, Head of Operations for First, will be sharing what Google’s plans are for a wellness hub and the future of voice search and AI.

    “We have specifically lined up speakers who will bring a strong technological context to running a business.  These experts play in a different space to fitness business owners and we can learn so much from them,” says Tamsett.

    Two fitness businesses will be showcased on how they use technology.  Troy Morgan, Director of Willows Health & Fitness in Toowoomba and Adam Skinner, Chief Data & Technology Officer from the Fitness & Lifestyle Group will be on stage answering questions on what technology they use to make their businesses stronger.

    Added to the speaker line up is Davin Miller from Debit Success, Tristan Alexander from Gymsales, and Mike Beeney from Myzone who will all share data from their tech businesses to show best business practices for debt collection, sales processes and retention.

    “I believe this will be a landmark event for the fitness industry in Australia.  Two days with 100% focus on technology will help future proof every fitness business,” concluded Tamsett.

    Tickets are on sales now at www.FitnessIndustryTechSummit.com.au.

  • Getting The Most From Attending #Filex2017

    Getting The Most From Attending #Filex2017

    filex

    Creating Strategic Take Home Value

    Rutgers University published research that over 90 per cent of the money that companies spend on training produces no value for the organisation. Having attended fitness industry conventions since 1991, I can understand why!

    When do you get time to implement everything you learned?

    Regardless, whether you attend Filex alone or with your team, you should aim to maximise your investment! Here are a few ideas that I have found to be successful:

    Before Filex:

    1. Select Team members to attend who embody the culture necessary to make things happen.
    2. Individually and as a group review your annual objectives and strategies so you approach Filex with an agenda.
    3. Set the priorities on what areas are most in need of new input, insight, tools, etc
    4. Allocate people to attend each specific session.

    During Filex

    1. Each morning of Filex consider the expectations and plan for each day.
    2. Each evening of Filex consolidate your ideas.

    After The Conference

    Research has shown that when one person attends a convention session and then returns back to work, about 70 per cent of what was learned is lost if no action occurs in the first week. For this reason, you and your Filex team should leave the weekend with an action plan.

    Take time out of the business to develop three to five ideas that you, as a team, can work on together. Use your initial agenda and list of priorities to formulate an action plan.

    Good luck, enjoy and see you at #Filex2017!
