As a PT Business Owner, the right support and expertise will #enhance your business success and retain your sanity!
A rare opportunity now exists for you to join the Personal Trainers Industry Leaders Roundtable. This innovative industry-leading group launched in 2005 and consists of business owners who share a common goal to grow their PT business without creating additional stress in their lives.
The concept of a roundtable is steeped in history:
- In the 5th Century BC, Homer, in the Iliad, describes how during the war with Troy, it was common for Greek soldiers of multiple ranks to convene in a circle, to engage in intense discussions of strategy and tactics on the battlefield.
- The Knights of the Roundtable helped King Arthur govern England in the late 5th and early 6th Centuries.
- In 1727, Benjamin Franklin convinced 12 of his “more ingenious acquaintances” to form a club dedicated to mutual improvement, which lasted for over 40 years!
The great news is that you can now enjoy the benefits of the Personal Trainers Industry Leaders Roundtable – and there are a number of (limited) opportunities available:
- Australian Personal Trainers Roundtable – 6 vacancies
- NSW Personal Trainers Roundtable – 6 vacancies
- Victorian Personal Trainers Roundtable – newly launched, with the first meeting scheduled for Thursday 31st July, so is now taking applications.
- New Zealand Personal Trainers Roundtable – launching late 2014/ early 2015 so is now taking applications.

The value of being involved in these Roundtables is reflected by our members’ participation. Some of our members have never missed a meeting in the entire nine years we’ve been running them. Others will dedicate an entire day of travel to attend meetings. Some even spend a day after every meeting designing an implementation plan for the ideas they’ve collected from the meetings. Here is what two of our long-serving members say about their Roundtable experience:
“Industry Leaders Roundtable is been the best professional development I’ve undertaken – both for my business and myself. Having a team of colleagues and trusted friends hold me accountable to my business goals, and assist me in overcoming my challenges, has been invaluable. Justin is a true fitness industry professional and has a wealth of knowledge to share, as do the members of my group.” – Summer, PT Business Owner who increased turnover by 10% and profit by 10% over the past 24 months.
“The knowledge about small group training systems that we shared at a meeting in Auckland in 2012, encouraged me to package and implement it in our club. We now have over 60 members and run 22 sessions a week, providing us with a whole new profit centre and delivering results well above industry average retention rates. The initiative has created another community within our walls.” – Amber, Independent Club Owner.
Joining the Personal Trainers Industry Leaders Roundtable typically requires an invitation from a current member. However, once every two or three years with the permission of the existing members, we do advertise for people who are interested in taking their business to another level. This is one such opportunity.

Members of the Personal Trainers Industry Leaders Roundtable want people to join their group who have skills and experiences that they can share in, and benefit from. These skills and experiences do not have to be fitness based, so new business owners are welcome to apply. It is more important that what you know (rather than how much) is brought to the table.
There is nothing else in the world, like the Personal Trainers Industry Leaders Roundtable. The unique aspects include:
- A worldwide network of fitness businesses (clubs and PT businesses) to learn from and connect with.
- No geographic competitors are allowed on the same Roundtable.
- A ‘Hot Seat’ where your Roundtable will help you overcome obstacles in your business;
- All aspects of your business are covered.
- Multiple Presidents of IHRSA and winners of Fitness Australia awards are members of Roundtables; and
- An opportunity to truly step out of your business and see how you can improve it.

“My experience with the Industry Leaders Roundtable has been invigorating and inspiring. The opportunity to learn from and with peers has greatly accelerated my learning about the industry, and has greatly aided my personal development. One of the key benefits is the ability to share with the group, the challenges I am facing or strategies I am considering. Their combined perspective and advice have been invaluable.” – Daragh, GM Business Development Southport Sharks.
