What they're saying ...

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.
Farhad Gulamhusein, COO, Trainerize
The small group setting is very valuable, the roundtables are productive and focused on realistic issues to workshop. It was a great mix of team strategy and networking. Sharing different perspectives adds value, and having the ability to have rotation with the vendor booths were great — it ensured us the opportunity to communicate with all of the participants.
Cathy Smith, Regional Sales Manager, ABC Financial Services
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!
Jenny Hymer, VP of Customer Loyalty, MXM/Medallia Partner
