Chris Edwards here with Tricor Wellness, and thank you so much for having me on the presentation today. I'm excited to share what's been going on down here in Southwest Florida. We are down in the United States, in Florida, in the Southwest region. So, Naples, Fort Myers and Bonita Springs. Let's talk about some of the really big challenges in our industry. Market Challenges and Seasonality High real estate costs and seasonal demand fluctuations significantly strain profitability for local fitness operations. Businesses must address these overhead burdens to ensure sustainable year-round financial viability. Shifting to Consultant Models Operators should transition from selling individual training hours to providing comprehensive metabolic health advisory services. This shift increases member yield and improves long-term client retention strategies. Technology and Metabolic Integration Adopting the technology, business, and science framework allows facilities to offer scalable, data-driven wellness solutions. This modernisation bridges the gap between traditional fitness and longevity-focused medical care. Like our podcast? Join us at the next Ignite Town Hall meet-up.
