    From Rugby Legend to Entrepreneur: George Gregan OnThe Real Challenges of Expanding to the US Market

    George Gregan is a World Cup-winning rugby legend — but his second act might be even more interesting. After retiring from professional sport, George became Chairman and Athletic Director of FSU (Fitness Solutions), the parent company behind PTP Fit, one of Australia's most recognized performance training brands. PTP's lineup spans resistance bands, PowerTubes, the Total Resistance System, foam rollers, yoga mats, and more, backed by free programs and video tutorials that support the full training journey. Under the FSU umbrella also sits Australia's most comprehensive yoga and Pilates brand, offering premium mats and Pilates equipment designed for serious practitioners. And alongside all of that, George co-founded Bahe, a recovery and grounding footwear brand rooted in wellness. Together, he has built a portfolio that touches nearly every corner of the fitness and wellness product space. Now he's setting his sights on the United States, and he's doing it in real time. In this episode, George joins host Krissy Vann to talk about the journey from athlete to entrepreneur, the lessons learned building across multiple product categories, and why success in Australia doesn't automatically translate into a blueprint for America. If you're scaling a brand, entering a new market, or navigating the challenges of product-based businesses in the fitness and wellness space — this conversation is for you. 🎙️ All Things Fitness and Wellness (ATFW) is a B2B podcast covering the business of fitness, wellness, gyms, studios, technology, investment, and industry trends.

    How Smart Gym Owners Are Turning GLP-1s Into Real Revenue

    The fitness industry is at an inflection point and most gym owners still don't have a strategy for it. Bob Thomas does. With over 44 years in the industry, Bob has pioneered recurring revenue models, built gym technology from scratch, and helped shape some of the biggest fitness brands in the country. So when GLP-1s hit the scene, he didn't hesitate. While others were skeptical, Bob went all in — building the infrastructure, living the protocol himself, and launching Next Gen MD 360 to bring medical and fitness together under one roof. In this episode, Bob breaks down exactly how gym operators can integrate GLP-1 programs into their business, what the biggest mistakes are that facilities are making right now, how to navigate the compliance wall between fitness and medicine, and why the operators who act now will own the next decade of the industry. This isn't a conversation about whether GLP-1s are here to stay. They are. This is about what you do next.
