The Club Solutions Leadership Retreat is absolutely an amazing event. It is one of the best that I have ever attended. My only regret is not going sooner. The event is very well organized and extremely comfortable.
Karen M. Raisch-Siege, Executive Director, LifeWorks of Southwest General
I enjoyed it very much – I learned a lot, made some new contacts in the industry, and walked away with great information I can share with my teams. I think the format of rotating educational roundtables with 5-minute vendor presentation segments was the most valuable aspect.
Laurie J. Smith, Senior Vice President, VillaSport Athletic Club and Spa
This year’s Club Solutions Leadership Retreat in Scottsdale was especially well positioned for Family Fitness to energize our 21st anniversary events this month. We had an amazing experience that blended professional interaction with the goals of our club.We would return anytime — it was really fun.
Kay Aplin, CEO, Family Fitness, Inc.
The Club Solutions Leadership Retreat in Scottsdale this year for me was a more intimate interaction than a larger convention can offer. The lightning round sessions, with all the vendors who attended, were informative and full of networking opportunities. Great job, Club Solutions.
Crystal Lezak, Corporate Director, Family Fitness, Inc.
For me, the most valuable aspect of the retreat was being able to interface with passionate and successful club owners in an intimate setting, getting to know them, and really understanding the pain points and opportunities within their clubs.

The Club Solution Leadership Event is one of my favorite events of the year to attend. You have an intimate environment with some of the fitness industry's best leaders. It is a great event to build relationships, learn from peers and socialize in an amazing setting. I love the balance of learning, networking and events to have fun.
Aaron Verasammy, Regional Sales Director - West, ABC Financial
As a sponsor, this event is so worth it! Smaller venue, lots of time with the participants who are very engaged, and so much support from the Retreat team. I highly recommend this event! Thank you, Club Solutions, for the opportunity!
