If you've crossed $30K a month and you're stuck under $80K - this room is built for you.
Not for beginners. Not for theorists. For operators who have built something real and want to break through what's holding them back.
For Established Operators
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.

What You'll Learn at the Summit
The Million Dollar Model.
For Gym Owners.
The framework Tim Lyons has used with 2,500+ gym owners to take operators from $30K/mo to $80K/mo - without working more hours.
For 16 years, Tim Lyons has worked with over 2,500 gym owners and tracked more than $82 million in attributed gym revenue. The pattern is unmistakable: the operators who break through aren't smarter, harder-working, or luckier. They have the model.
The Million Dollar Model is the operating framework that takes a gym from owner-dependent to owner-optional, from feast-or-famine to predictable revenue, from grinding to scaling. Tim and his team teach it live, only at this event, only once a year.
You'll leave Scottsdale with the model implemented for your specific gym - not the version someone wrote on a slide deck. The version that fits the size, market, team, and constraints you actually have.
The Framework●●●●
The Million Dollar Model
01
Acquire
Predictable lead engine

Convert
Sales system that closes

LTV that compounds
04
Scale
Team + ops without you
$30K/mo → $80K/mo
Who You'll Hear From
Operators. Leaders.
People actually doing it.
No motivational speakers. Every person on this stage is actively running, scaling, or advising gyms at the highest level. They tell you exactly what's working - right now.

Build a Gym That Doesn't Need You

What Changes
What's different in 12 months for the gym owners who were in this room.
Right Now
After Scottsdale
01
Revenue plateaued. You're not sure why.
A clear roadmap to break your revenue ceiling in the next 90 days.
02
You're the bottleneck. Everything runs through you.
A team structure and system that runs without you in the room.
03
Growing - but not keeping enough of it. Money disappears.
A profitability model that pays you what you're worth.
04
Decisions feel like guesswork. No real benchmarks.
The numbers top gyms actually track - and what they mean for yours.
05
Isolated. No one near you operating at this level.
A network of serious operators who push you forward.
06
Same plan as last year. Same year as last year.
A new model. A new team. A new revenue ceiling.
What You'll Learn
What's actually inside
the three days.

What 16 years of coaching 2,500 gyms taught Tim Lyons about the one decision that separates the gyms that scale from the ones that stall - and the price of waiting another year (Tim Lyons keynote)
Tim Grover keynote: how the operators who win under pressure actually think - and the framework you can borrow from the world's greatest athletes for your own business (Tim Grover keynote)
The 5 tax strategies most gym owners miss that add $50K+ to your bottom line - yes, even if you have a CPA (Shauna Wekherlien)
The 2026 industry data showing why top gyms are pulling away from everyone else right now - and where your gym actually ranks (Len Fridman)
Why your team still depends on you - and the org chart redesign that fixes it in 60 days (Lindsay Vastola)
The communication system top gym operators use to make their leadership team self-managing within 90 days (Lindsay Vastola - workshop)
What 40 years of building gyms taught Thomas Plummer about the move owners regret skipping the most (Thomas Plummer)
The operating playbook for owners scaling beyond a single location - what it actually takes to step out of the day-to-day (John Farkas)
Three days of unstructured time with the operators in the room. The conversations at 10pm by the pool that quietly become the most valuable part of the entire weekend.

Where You'll Be
The Scott Resort & Spa,
Scottsdale.
Not a hotel conference room. The Growth Summit is hosted at one of Scottsdale's most iconic resort properties - relaxed enough for real conversations, elevated enough to match the level of thinking happening in the room.
You'll be staying, eating, and connecting in the same place as everyone else. Some of the best decisions gym owners make at this event happen at 10pm over a drink with someone they met that morning.
Hotel group rate expires May 25.
After that - full rates if rooms are available.
5X
Our Promise
The 5X ROI Guarantee.
We're so confident in what you'll walk out of Scottsdale with that we put our reputation on the line. Attend Growth Summit Scottsdale 2026, implement what you learn, and if you don't generate at least 5X the value of your ticket within 12 months - just talk to a member of our staff before you leave the event. We'll refund your ticket. No questions asked.
Reserve Your Seat - Risk FreeQuestions
Everything you want to know
before you reserve.
Yes. Most attendees are single-location operators looking to break through their next ceiling. The Million Dollar Model applies whether you're at $500K or $5M in revenue.
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 Scottsdale 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.
