We also pulled in a lot of New York area trainers whom we would not have met anywhere else. Our new bags were everywhere on the show floor, increasing our brand recognition.

“We actually closed sales at Club Industry East—which is rare for a software company like ours—and have a lot of strong prospects we expect to close shortly. We focus on personal trainers, wellness centers and club management facilities and those are the people who were seeing here.
I had previously been on Wall St—my last day was 9/11—and decided to create a software business for the fitness industry. I started about six years ago, with just a banner and a booth in the back and the Club Industry shows are what helped propel my company to the next level.”
