Keynotes & Panels on Boutique Fitness M&A
I've brokered 70 boutique fitness transactions. I talk about what I've learned — the real stuff, not the theory — so your audience walks away with something they can use.
About
I'm the founder of Boutique Fitness Broker, the only M&A firm focused entirely on boutique fitness — Pilates studios, yoga concepts, cycling brands, and small chains that live and die on community and retention.
Over the last several years, I've closed 70 transactions totaling over $30 million. I know what makes a studio worth buying, what kills a deal, and why most owners have no idea what their business is actually worth. I've seen every version of the good, the bad, and the "wait, your lease says what?"
When I speak, I share what I've learned from the inside — real numbers, real mistakes, real patterns. No fluff. If your audience is trying to buy, sell, or grow a fitness business, I can save them years of expensive lessons.
Speaking Topics
Most boutique fitness owners overvalue or undervalue their business. I break down the real valuation drivers — retention metrics, lease terms, instructor dependency, and the numbers buyers actually care about.
The step-by-step of how these deals actually work. From finding the right target to surviving due diligence, I cover the process, the pitfalls, and the moments where deals die (and how to prevent that).
Where the industry is headed based on what I'm seeing in actual deal flow. Which concepts are growing, which are struggling, and what the next wave of studio businesses looks like.
