Financial Mastery: Learn to understand your numbers, manage cash flow, and finally pay yourself what you deserve – so you can stop endlessly worrying about being able to pay the bills.
Marketing & Advertising Strategies: Discover the difference between marketing and advertising, and how to implement effective strategies for both – so you know that you’ve got new clients coming through the doors, every single month.
Human Resources & Team Building: Learn how to build a world-class team that cares about your business as much as you do – so that you know the business runs smoothly, even when you’re not there.
Improved Coaching skills – Discover how excellent coaching can be implemented – especially after exposing yourself to novelty which can lead to exceptional classes for your clients.
Member Retention Tactics: Develop strategies to keep members engaged and loyal, without sacrificing your boundaries – and generate a steady flow of referrals, without having to constantly ask for them!
Time Management & Efficiency: Structure your day for maximum productivity, allowing time for breaks (so you can eat lunch!) and family – so that no matter how many classes you’ve got on, you never have to work all night to keep on top of things.
Mindset Shifts: Transform from an overworked owner to a strategic CEO, without losing your passion for coaching, to build a thriving business, increase your impact, and fall back in love with training.
Sales Process Optimisation: Move beyond ‘free trials’ and create a robust sales process that converts leads and increases client value – without pushy or sleazy sales tactics.
Imagine leaving work at a reasonable hour, knowing your gym is running smoothly and profitably.
Picture having the time and energy to enjoy life outside of work, all while making a real impact on your clients’ lives.
That’s the reality Coaches Congress can help you create.

“We are very excited to be coming back to Coaches Congress, as our first visit was such a positive one. The networking, the informative speeches, workshops and overall input was fantastic. We came home with not only great ideas and insights, but also actionable steps to help improve our business, our coaching and the experience for our athletes. We were so impressed with the organisation, the location and the sheer caliber of experts, that this time we’re bringing two more coaches with us. If you’re still wondering whether or not it’s worth the effort, stop wondering. It is!”

“The last Coaches Congress I attended really opened my eyes to what is possible as a gym owner. The stories you hear are inspiring and a huge motivation to level up what you’re doing. Since then we’ve had our best ever months revenue and continue to grow.”

“Just back to Ireland now and on behalf of myself and the team I’d like to say thank you to you and the team for being amazing hosts and putting on a fantastic event. As I said in the text yesterday morning, I was expecting good but it was great. I hope you’re all very proud. Have had great discussions with the team already about their key takeaways and we’re definitely looking forward to taking action in the gym. The atmosphere was unique. A room full of like minded people is hard to come by but I thought some of the Q&A sessions after the talks were fantastic. It speaks volumes about the event that I had to really think about anything to improve.”

“It wasn’t just one specific thing that I liked; it was a combination of sensations. Being immersed for two days with people who experience the same emotions, challenges, and victories as we do was truly motivating.
Having the opportunity to listen to people like Ben Bergeron speak live, instead of just seeing them behind a screen on social media, was incredible. And seeing these people as “normal” individuals—approachable, kind, and easy to talk to, just like a neighbour—was something we absolutely loved.
Getting to meet different 2BB mentors that we usually see only in videos, in person, was amazing. Honestly, all the presentations we attended were useful, inspiring, and motivating, and we learned so much.
And the energy you leave with after a weekend like this? Priceless!”

“Two years ago, I was a tired gym owner. I had poured seven years of my life into building my gym, and while it was running, I wasn’t. I had no time for myself, no money to enjoy the fruits of my labor, and a nagging feeling that this couldn’t be what success looked like.
That’s when I discovered Coaches Congress. For the first time, I met people who truly understood what I was going through—because they had walked the same path. They shared solutions, principles, and a mindset that I immediately knew I needed to embrace.
I started making changes. Step by step, I applied what I learned, and the results transformed more than just my gym—they transformed my life.
In November, I did something I couldn’t have imagined two years ago: I stepped away from my gym for two weeks to celebrate my wedding. Not only did the gym keep running, but I had the time and mental space to truly be present for one of the most important moments of my life.
Without Coaches Congress, I would have been working the 24th and 31st of December, buried in the daily grind, missing something irreplaceable.
Coaches Congress didn’t just teach me how to run my gym better—it gave me the tools to live the life I wanted.
If you’re feeling stuck, there’s a way out. You can build a gym that serves your life, not the other way around.”

“Attending the Coaches Congress in Stockholm was an absolute game-changer. I connected with incredible coaches from all over the world, expanding my network in ways I never expected. The speakers were truly inspiring, delivering insightful sessions packed with valuable information.
What stood out the most was how immediately applicable everything was—I left with actionable steps that I could implement right away. Beyond that, the event gave me a clear roadmap for the upcoming quarter, making my direction and priorities crystal clear. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about growth in the coaching/gym owner space!”
