AFS, Masters in Fitness Business Announce 2020 Podcast Partnership
Includes ‘Live’ Broadcast from SUCCEED! 2020
(OAKLAND, CA, UNIVERSITY CITY, MO, December 31, 2019) – The Association of Fitness Studios (AFS) and Masters in Fitness Business Podcasts (MFB) today announced a partnership to jointly produce a bi-weekly series of fitness business podcasts in 2020, including a live podcast event at SUCCEED! 2020, April 30-May 3 in Irvine, CA.
Masters in Fitness Business is the #1 podcast of independent personal training studios, creating a community of working together to help independent studios be more successful. Given that’s essentially the mission of AFS, the collaboration makes total sense. 
“We see huge value in partnering with Masters in Fitness Business,” said Josh Leve, AFS founder and CEO. “Podcasts have become a growing trend and viable educational vehicle for the fitness industry. MFB has a great track record in producing content consistent with what our audience needs. We’re excited about the project and look forward to working with Jim Adams and his team.”
Adams, the owner and host of Masters in Fitness Business, created the podcast in 2016 featuring interviews with successful fitness business owners to discuss what works and what doesn't. Himself a successful independent fitness business owner (Catalyst Personal Training and Nutrition, University City, MO), the podcasts focus on the successes, and as importantly, what business owners learned from their failures.
“We believe that AFS and SUCCEED! are doing outstanding work in bringing top level business education to the market,” said Adams. “We see our partnership as a means of providing AFS with an additional outreach capability and forum to help spread the word.”
The podcast schedule will include every-other week, 60-minute programs featuring a wide variety of subjects and interviewees – all dedicated to improving the fitness businesses of viewers. Each podcast will be featured on www.afsfitness.com.
“The SUCCEED! podcast will be very different and very exciting,” said Adams. “With literally hundreds of fitness studio leaders in the house, we’ll be able to broadcast incredible, actionable knowledge to our audience.”
