Wow, this year is vanishing fast! So much done and still more to do! We
just finished with the Gold’s Gym Convention and have one more GGFA
Regional to execute in Atlanta on 8/22, that’s tomorrow! The Annual
Owners’ Conference is approaching and will be one you do not want to
miss! We have so many new franchisees attending this year and our line
up agenda is pretty incredible with lots to hear and learn!
First, congratulations to all the convention award winners! Y’all have no
idea how hard it is to keep this a secret for four months! Special kudos to
the Lowell group for being the Franchisee of the Year and to Don Murphy
for the special Vision Award!! Very worthy and admirable winners! And
a special thank you to Bob, Mike and Crystal with ABC for sponsoring the
GGFA Business Lounge AND Red Bar Cocktail Reception in Vegas!
We really enjoyed hosting the four GGFA Regionals again this year. Our
motivation is to help you strive to be your best in your company. I’ve had
great feedback on the content and the helpfulness on getting Medallia
immersed in your operations! Dave Kenyon is always insightful with
personal training, so hopefully you were able to catch Dave and his
contribution! Great stuff, and thanks to all the suppliers for their support.
It cannot be done without them!
And now… My favorite event. This year, we will host our 15th Owners’
Conference. We are in NYC at the Downtown Marriott that is literally one
block from Freedom Tower! I am especially excited about special guest
speaker, Peter Moore. Pete is such a great friend of the Franchisees and
tops in industry knowledge and things you’ll want to know. Also, we have
Adam Zeitsiff, Craig Sherwood and Dave Reiseman from corporate to
entertain us with important updates and information. Catch the details
inside this edition also!
Our featured Franchisee is Ben Newport – new Franchisee BUT NOT
new to Gold’s Gym!!!! Help us welcome Ben to the Family. Read about
his journey and become inspired!!!
