MINDBODY Renews AFS Sponsorship
‘Leveraging Technology to Improve the Wellness of the World’
(MINNEAPOLIS, MN, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA, September 12, 2019) – The Association of Fitness Studios (AFS) today proudly announced and again welcomed industry leader MINDBODY to its membership ranks, sharing the concept of a global community of businesses that help people look and feel their best.
MINDBODY manages your day, markets your business, and connects you with clients looking to book fitness services. Get 24/7 support with real people, industry-leading business education, one-on-one setup and training, and a custom app for your brand.
