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.

Jack Thomas is the founder and CEO of BASE and the
Fitness Business Asia podcast host.
BASE is widely recognized as one of Asia’s leading fitness brands and is the winner of ‘Asia’s Gym of the Year’ in the 2018 Fitness Best Awards,
