Fitness and the Future of the Health Coach Professional

BOULDER, Colo., July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EGYM, a global fitness technology leader providing fitness and health facilities with intelligent hardware and software solutions, announced the third edition of their live expert series: Fitness and the Future of the Health Coach Professional on July 14, 2020, 12:00 PM Mountain/ 2:00 PM Eastern Time (U.S. and Canada).

Due to the recent pandemic, the fitness industry has changed. No longer are members strictly health-focused they are increasingly hygiene-conscious. Understanding the role the new health coach professional will play in the 'new normal' is critical.

"The 2020 pandemic has taught an important lesson for personal trainers and health coaches. The old method of trading time for money face-to-face alone doesn't work and that if one wants to be successful moving forward, they MUST integrate with technology, or they will struggle," said Ted Vickey, Founder and CEO, FitWell.

EGYM, in collaboration with Fitness Industry Technology Council, invites gym owners and operators to an ongoing discussion on recent changes in the fitness industry and the role fitness professionals will play in the future.

Topics will include: 

    --  Update on the Latest Reopening Trends
    --  Understanding Fitness Professionals of Today
    --  Understanding Market Opportunities
    --  Understanding the Health Coach of Tomorrow
    --  Enabling Health Coaching Services

Panelists will include: 

    --  Dr. Ted Vickey (Founder and CEO, FitWell)
    --  Dana Milkie (VP Digital Solutions, EGYM)
    --  Bryan O'Rourke (CEO FITC | Vedere Ventures)

"In many respects, the future of gyms and health clubs is already here. With the acceleration of digital as a result of the recent pandemic and with changing megatrends that were already underway, operators need to have a strategy around their technology path to help them compete more effectively," Says Bryan K. O'Rourke CEO of the Fitness Technology Council.
