The world’s best fitness clubs and experience

The Fit Guide began with a chance conversation between Jack Thomas and Matt Lavender, two established names in fitness and hospitality, respectively, with over 25 years of combined experience. They recognised that while restaurants and hotels have internationally-respected rating systems that assess the quality and celebrate excellence, there was no industry standard, rating system or reliable, trusted guide for fitness clubs. 
The global standard for fitness club and studio excellence was born.

Fitness Influencer 2020

I hope you can each take something from my words,
 
Thanking everybody for the good wishes and
congratulations
 
on receiving my award.
 
I'm fortunate to have so many amazing people here and in my life.
When I woke this morning, I had been dreaming about being on a plane; sadly, I lost my luggage also! Made me think about the last fitness event I attended, FIBO USA 2019 just before Xmas; so much has changed.
 
Here in Australia, our next planned live event is in November this year in Sydney, fingers crossed we can all meet again.
 
But for now, I share my 2-minute speech with you all..
