The Studio Summit - Biohacking, Longevity & Health Optimisation – Passing Trend or Business Opportunity for Studio Owners?
Friday March 28, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am GMT
Biohacking, health optimisation, and longevity are more than just buzzwords—they’re reshaping the fitness and wellness industry.

Key Points:
  • This session will define the evolving landscape, explore the key players and emerging technologies, and help you assess where opportunities exist for your business.
  • Learn how to navigate this rapidly growing sector, integrate biohacking principles, and create new revenue streams while enhancing your client experience.

The rise of biohacking, longevity, and health optimisation is transforming the way we think about performance, recovery, and well-being. But with a flood of new technologies, interventions, and influencers like Dave Asprey, Ben Greenfield, and Bryan Johnson, how do you separate science from hype?

For over 25 years, Power Plate has championed vibration as a catalyst for enhancing health and performance in less time. Now, with the growing popularity of stacking multiple modalities—from red light therapy and breathwork to cold exposure and metabolic tracking—fitness professionals, facility owners, and entrepreneurs must determine what fits, what works, and what aligns with their business model.

The Studio Summit - Screen, Support, Strengthen: Unlocking the Potential of Bone Health in Your Studio
Friday March 28, 2025 2:15pm - 3:15pm GMT
Learn how incorporating regular bone health screenings can uncover hidden risks, promote member well-being, and position your studio as a leader in holistic fitness solutions.

Three Key Points:
1. Muscles Mean Nothing Without a Strong Foundation
Everyone trains for bigger biceps and stronger legs, but what about the bones supporting them? Bone loss begins as early as 30, and strength alone won’t stop it. If your gym isn’t addressing skeletal health, you’re missing the most fundamental pillar of strength.

    2.    For the First Time, You Can Measure Bone Strength in the Gym

Thanks to Echolight REMS technology, gym owners can now offer bone scans in-house, providing members with a T-score and bone quality assessment in minutes—no radiation, no referrals, just real-time data. This opens up a huge business opportunity while delivering unparalleled value to members.

3.    The Future of Strength Training Includes Osteogenic Loading
• If members show signs of low bone density, they can take action immediately. Osteogenic loading (using strategic high-impact loading like Biodensity) is a game-changer, helping reverse bone loss and strengthen the skeleton—ensuring lifelong resilience against fractures and weaknesses.

Gym owners who embrace bone health as the next frontier will set themselves apart, drive new revenue streams, and elevate their gym’s impact beyond just aesthetics. Strength isn’t just what you see—it’s the foundation you build.
