The 2024 Independent Gym Conference, held on Thursday, 5th December at Cranmore Park, Solihull, was nothing short of a game-changer. With record-breaking numbers in registrations, exhibitors, and attendees, this year’s event set a new benchmark for the fitness industry.

Our second event of the year also saw our second collaboration as we partnered with Dr Paul Bedford to bring back the Retention Convention, in person for the first time since lockdown. Independent Gyms is built on partnerships, and this one saw our largest-ever event turnout, with a dynamic mix of gym owners, managers, and industry professionals coming together for a day of learning and networking.

The exhibition hall was packed with the latest in gym equipment, software, and services, offering attendees the chance to discover new tools that could elevate their businesses. Exhibitors showcased innovative products designed to enhance the member experience, improve operational efficiency, and drive growth.

The speaker lineup was equally impressive, covering a broad spectrum of topics from marketing strategies to membership models, industry trends and inclusivity. These sessions equipped attendees with fresh ideas and practical solutions to stay ahead in the competitive fitness landscape.

Networking was a key component of the event, with attendees exchanging ideas, forming new relationships, and discussing the future of the fitness industry. The energy was palpable.

In all, the 2024 Independent Gym Conference was a resounding success, setting the stage for future events and solidifying its position as the must-attend event for independent gym professionals. 2025 will see a change in our event schedule as we merge our Summer and Winter conferences into on huge 2-day event in November 2024!
