    Creating one of the first brands in ‘boutique fitness’ and taking it worldwide, with Jennifer Vaughan Maanavi of Physique 57 (USA)

    When her favorite fitness studio closed, Jennifer Vaughan Maanavi went from fitness class client to business owner and created one of the world’s first brands to be recognized as “boutique fitness” in the process.
    Physique 57 has since opened in countries around the world, has seen great success in online fitness and is still going strong as one of the industry’s leading Barre brands.

just what the doctor ordered -

Jack Thomas' podcast is an easy listen, and I can always pickup a couple of actionable points for day to day operations and brand development. Keep up the great work JT!

Context: 20 years experience as a spine and sports medicine physician has taught me that the hardest part of having a solo practice is the business side of running the clinic

Even if you have no interest in the fitness industry, you’ll get a lot of insight and tips on how business are built.
