Supporting JC is a team of Coach Mentors who are all leading industry experts, each owning and running successful progressive gym businesses across the country. It’s our vast combined knowledge and experience makes the IFBA an unparalleled educational and inspirational resource for owners and operators who want to rank alongside the best.
Starting out as a personal trainer, my career in the fitness industry spans more than ten years. In 2009, I founded W10 in West London where we’ve developed a philosophy and culture focused on simplicity and results.
As a fitness business, W10 ranks as one of the country’s most successful. We have a 2% annual attrition rate, and our average lifetime value of a client is three years plus.
In my capacity as a consultant, I’ve advised trainers, gym owners, sports brands, corporate businesses and film companies.
Consolidating this experience, I now run the International Fitness Business Alliance (IFBA) and the Professional Fitness Coaching Academy (PFCA).
