The Ultimate Business & Growth Event for Fitness Studio Owners

The fitness industry is evolving rapidly, presenting both opportunities and challenges for independent studio owners, boutique gym operators, and fitness entrepreneurs. Staying ahead requires strategic growth, business innovation, and a strong community focus. In response to these challenges, we are proud to launch The Studio Summit 2025, a one-day event dedicated to equipping studio owners with the strategies, insights, and connections they need to succeed.

Taking place on Friday, 28 March 2025, at the Winter Gardens Conference Centre in Blackpool, a historic venue known for hosting prestigious industry events and providing an inspiring setting for collaboration and learning, this inaugural summit, hosted within the PROS Fitness Conference, is designed to deliver practical solutions, expert knowledge, and networking opportunities tailored specifically for studio businesses.

It’s about business strategy, financial management, innovative marketing, and staying ahead of industry trends.
