As an owner, you can work for years only to have the dream crushed as a result of not making enough money. Most gym owners make it 4–5 years tops before the stress and money problems catch up. This isn’t because they don’t care. It’s simply because they never learned how to get money to work for them. The good news? It doesn’t have to be this way. You deserve a respectable income, time with your family, and the freedom to enjoy the life you’re building — without waiting a decade to get there. In this session, you’ll discover the 5 big- gest dysfunctions that destroy gym owners’ finances and the simple shifts to fix them. You’ll walk away with a clear 3, 6, and 12-month roadmap toward financial freedom and proven strate- gies that have helped hundreds of gym owners move from the edge of burnout to building consistent profit.

•Spent the last decade focusing on Coaching Female Athletes to Maximize Performance, Reducing ACL Injuries and Building Unshakeable Confidence Training the Unshakeable Female Athlete: Stronger Girls. Unshakeable Confidence Girls are showing up for sports like never before — but most still aren’t training. Approximately 20% of high school female athletes are involved in structured strength or performance programs, and too many parents and sport coaches don’t yet understand how critical real training is for performance, resilience, and injury reduction. In this session, Coach Justin Kegley shares the system he’s used to help over 1,000 female athletes get stronger, faster, and more confident — and keep showing up year after year. You’ll learn how to coach female athletes with performance in mind — training that transfers to sport — while building trust, raising standards, educating par- ents and sport coaches, and creating a training environment that drives long-term buy-in. This is how we build stronger girls with unshakeable confidence — and how we raise the standard for what great training looks like for female athletes. Providence

• Inventor of the TRX Rip Trainer, Nautilus Glute Drive, Escape Barrow and Glute Slide •Physical therapist and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist •Published auther & former US National TaeKwon-Do Champion & Team Captain •IDEA Fitness Leader of the Year award recipient •National and International Presenter Hidden Secrets to Core Performance Based on science yet rooted in the martial arts, “Hidden Se- crets to Core Performance” will expose antiquated thinking around core programming that has existed in the industry for decades and dispel some of the new age myths that stiff- ness is the enemy. If structure dictates function, one needs an in-depth understanding of core anatomy, biomechan- ics and neurology so that programming will have maximal carry over to sports performance, durability and daily life. “Core performance is a precise combination of foundational strength and balance, but true power comes from neurology, sequencing and one’s ability to actualize effective mass!” With 30 years’ experience as a physical therapist & CSCS and having competed at the elite level as a US National TKD champion & team captain, Pete uses his background in mar- tial arts and biomechanics, to deliver a never-before-seen session. If you are looking for a novel approach to coaching and cuing core performance and a template on how to safely, effectively and efficiently turn your athletes into champions, look no further.

CHASE KOUGH NSCA-CPT •Owner P360 •20 years Health and Human Performance Specialist •Coached 30+ Athletes to Olympic and
World Championship Medals (15 countries represented) Turning ‘No Way’ into ‘Watch Me’: The Science of Identity-Based Performance Your athlete has the talent. You both know it. So why do they keep falling short when it matters most? I’ve coached more than 30 athletes to Olympic and World Championship med- als, and the answer is never what coaches expect. It’s not programming. It’s not periodization. It’s identity — who they believe they are before any evidence exists. In this session, I’ll show you the exact progression that separates champi- ons from everyone else: from ‘I want’ to ‘I AM,’ from ‘no way’ to ‘watch me.’ You’ll discover why your athletes’ limiting beliefs were programmed before age seven, why the words you use as a coach literally sync with their brains, and why the people in their circle are shaping performance more than any training program. Every principle is backed by research from Princeton, Stanford, Duke, and Harvard — and proven by two decades of medalists. Your clients are closer than they think. This session will prove it.
