    The Latest Technology In The Fitness Industry

    After a day and a half of educating, sharing & networking at the first Fitness Industry Technology Summit in Australia I knew our greatest gamble was one of our greatest successes. Delegates were leaving armed to: 

    • Personalise member experiences;  
    • Take their brand online with stories;  
    • Explore the power of voice search; and  
    • With the amazing inside scoop from Facebook create ad campaigns that worked! 

    We covered way more than just these topics, these are just a couple of the ones that leapt out to me! 

    We are in the early stages of planning 2020, so we can confirm it will be:

    • In Sydney; 
    • On a Wednesday & Thursday; 
    • The last 2 weeks of August

    You can now pre-register your interest in attending #FITS2020 without paying a cent by going to www.FitnessIndustryTechSummit.com.au

  • Barry’s Bootcamp & Myzone Shaped The VIPs At The Fitness Industry Technology Summit

    Barry’s Bootcamp & Myzone Shaped The VIPs At The Fitness Industry Technology Summit

    The 2019 Fitness Industry Technology Summit launched it’s VIP Experience with a workout at Barry’s Bootcamp in Martin Place.

    VIPs arrived up to 90 minutes early to soak up the ambience of one of the flagship studios for Barry’s in Australia.  Then as more people arrived the energy lifted!

    There was so much chatting and networking.  Many of the VIPs had never experienced a Barry’s workout, so there was definitely some nervous tension.

    The Myzone Team arrived with their gifts! Every VIP at #FITS2019 received a FREE Myzone belt.  The Myzone Team frenetically set up accounts, answered questions and got everyone ready to go by the 1:30 workout!

    Studio Manager, Julie and the class coach, Molly were sensational and very welcoming! They helped all the VIPs understand the workout and also the business side of things.

    It was an awesome way to launch the Fitness Industry Technology Summit.

    Thank you to Barry’s Bootcamp for hosting the workout; Myzone for the belts giveaways and the 37 VIPs who sweated it out in the famous Red Room!
