Growth Summit Scottsdale 2026

Three Days in Scottsdale.
Go Home and Have the
Best Year Your Gym Has Ever Had.

The 8th Annual Growth Summit brings together 200+ established gym owners for the one event that actually moves the needle. Not on motivation, but on revenue, freedom, and what your gym looks like a year from now.

June 25–27, 2026  •  The Scott Resort & Spa  •  Scottsdale, AZ

This event has sold out 7 years in a row. We are already over half full.

You've Built Something Real

You're Not a Beginner.

You've put in the work. You've figured out more than most ever will. Your gym is running, your members are getting results, and you've proven the model works.

But somewhere along the way, growth started to feel harder. The ceiling got lower. The path forward got less clear.

Maybe revenue has plateaued. Maybe you're still too deep in the day-to-day. Maybe you're growing, but not fast enough, not profitably enough, not in a way that's giving you your life back.

That's exactly who the Growth Summit is built for.

Not beginners looking for their first client. Established operators who are ready to break through to the next level and want to spend three days in a room full of people doing the same.

Watch: What Happens at the Growth Summit

The Promise

Leave Scottsdale With a Plan That Makes
the Next 12 Months Your Best Ever.

That's not a tagline. That's the only reason this event exists.

Break Your Revenue Ceiling

Walk away knowing exactly what has been holding your gym back and the specific moves top operators are making right now to push past it.

Build a Gym That Runs Without You

The owners in this room are not just growing revenue. They are building real freedom. See exactly how they have structured their teams, systems, and operations to step back without things falling apart.

Make the Moves Most Owners Never Do

Expansion. Wealth building. Real profitability. The conversations on this stage go where most industry events never do, because the people in the room are ready for them.

The Shift

What Changes When You're In The Room

Most gym owners leave Scottsdale with more clarity than they've had in years. Here's what that actually looks like.

Right Now

Revenue plateaued and you're not sure why

After Scottsdale

A clear roadmap to break your revenue ceiling in the next 90 days

Right Now

You're the bottleneck. You can't step away without things falling apart

After Scottsdale

A team structure and system that runs without you in the room

Right Now

Growing, but not keeping enough of it. The money disappears

After Scottsdale

A profitability model that actually pays you what you're worth

Right Now

Decisions feel like guesswork. No real benchmarks to measure against

After Scottsdale

The numbers top gyms actually track and what they mean for yours

Right Now

Isolated. Not many people who get what you're building at this level

After Scottsdale

A network of serious operators who push you forward and hold you to it

The promise: You will leave Scottsdale with a specific, executable plan for making 2026 the best year your gym has ever had. Not inspiration. A plan.

Why This Year Is Different

2026 Will Be the Best Year
Your Gym Has Ever Had.

That's not a tagline. That's the standard we hold ourselves to every year. The gym owners who come to Scottsdale leave with a plan, not just motivation. And the ones who skip it spend another year wondering why nothing changed.

Where You'll Be

The Scott Resort & Spa

Old Town Scottsdale, AZ

This isn't a hotel conference room.

The Growth Summit is hosted at one of Scottsdale's most iconic resort properties. A setting that is relaxed enough to have real conversations, and elevated enough to match the level of thinking happening in the room.

You will be staying, eating, and connecting in the same place as everyone else. That is where the real value of this event happens. Not just on stage, but by the pool, at dinner, at the bar after sessions.

Some of the best decisions gym owners make at this event happen at 10pm over a drink with someone they met that morning.

  • Resort-style rooms and suites
  • Pool, cabanas, and open outdoor spaces
  • On-site dining and spa
  • Walkable access to the best of Old Town Scottsdale

Room block expires May 25. Book early.

We have secured a discounted room block for attendees. After May 25, you will be booking at full rate if rooms are even available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We've Got You.

The Next 12 Months Are Going to Happen Either Way.

The question is whether you show up to them with a plan. Or without one.

The gym owners who leave the 2026 Growth Summit don't just have a good weekend. They go home knowing exactly what needs to change, who they need to become, and what moves they're making next.

That clarity is what the next 12 months are built on.

We'll see you in Scottsdale.
