LASSO Growth Summit
LASSO Growth Summit Nashville 2026
NOVEMBER 7-8, 2026 · NASHVILLE · ONLY 100 SEATS

The gym summit with 900 fewer people.

100 serious operators. 10 industry leaders. No vendor halls. No sponsors pitching from stage. Just two days of real conversations with gym owners who've built, scaled, and advise at the highest level — plus a complete 2027 playbook you can implement the moment you get home.

33 of 35 Early Bird seats left. Then it's $449.

WHEN

Nov 7–8, 2026

WHO

100 Gym Owners

WHERE

Nashville, TN

IS THIS YOU?

Built for the gym owner who's done guessing.

You're already doing $15K+ a month. You've built something real. But you know there's another level — bigger systems, sharper marketing, stronger leadership, and revenue that doesn't depend on you grinding every hour. This summit is where high-level operators come to think bigger, plan smarter, and leave with the exact playbook to make 2027 their breakout year.

THE PROMISE

Two days. Three outcomes.

A Demand Engine

Profitable ads, SEO, and funnels that generate 5-10 new members per month — on autopilot.

An Operating System

Hiring frameworks, sales culture, and retention strategies that scale without burning you out.

A 2027 Playbook

A complete, written plan — not inspiration — that you can implement the moment you get home.

THE DIFFERENCE

Why we cap this at 100.

Most gym summits are massive. A thousand people, a vendor hall, sponsors pitching from stage every hour. That's fine for the industry. It's not for you.

We built this for the operator who wants the room, not the convention. When you walk in, every person you meet is doing $15K+/month and thinking at the same level you are. Every keynote is someone actively running, scaling, or advising gyms at the highest level.

No tire-kickers. No recruiters. No "sponsors" disguised as speakers.

100 seats is the hard cap. We don't move it. Because the moment we do, this becomes every other event.

THE TRANSFORMATION

Before the Summit vs. After.

Running ads that burn cash with no ROI
A profitable ad system that generates 5-10 new members/month
Stuck at 100-150 members for months
A clear path to break through your revenue ceiling
Hiring wrong and losing good people
A predictable hiring machine that attracts A-players
Closing leads at 30-40% (maybe)
A sales culture that closes at 70%+ with confidence
Relying on referrals and hoping for the best
A complete demand engine: ads, SEO, funnels, and follow-up
Doing everything yourself and burning out
A business that runs with systems, not just your hustle
YOUR 2027 PLAYBOOK

What you'll walk away with

Over two days, you'll learn exactly how top gyms build demand year-round, create offers that convert, run ads profitably, build teams, and nurture leads the right way.

Profitable Ad Systems

The exact Meta ad strategies generating 5-10 new members per month — what's working in 2026 and what's dead.

Revenue Math & Levers

Know your numbers. Understand which levers actually move revenue so you stop guessing and start scaling.

SEO & Web Strategy

Make Google your best lead source. Website structure and SEO plays that compound over time.

Hiring Framework

Stop hiring wrong. Build a predictable system that attracts A-players and keeps them.

Sales System

Close at 70%+ without the sleaze. Build a sales culture your team actually believes in.

Retention & LTV

The ancillary revenue streams and retention strategies most gym owners are leaving on the table.

THE MATH

The math on a $299 ticket.

Your average gym member's LTV is $3,000+. One new member you acquire using what you learn at this summit pays for your ticket 10x over.

Most gym owners who attend events like this implement at least one play that generates $5K+ within 60 days of getting home. That's 16x ROI in 2 months.

Now add the 2027 Playbook, 10 speakers, 99 other operators in the room, and the fact that this year's summit is at the Virgin Hotel Nashville.

If this doesn't return 20x your investment within 12 months, we didn't do our job.

WHO YOU'LL HEAR FROM

People actually doing it.

No motivational speakers. No theoretical frameworks. Every person on this stage is actively running, scaling, or advising gyms at the highest level.

QUESTIONS

Quick answers.

Because the moment we go to 200, 500, or 1,000 — this becomes every other gym summit. We cap at 100 so every person in the room is someone you'd actually want to sit next to, learn from, and build a relationship with. No vendors walking the floor. No sponsors pitching from stage. No tire-kickers. Just 100 serious operators and 10 industry leaders who've built, scaled, and advise at the highest level. The conversations between sessions are just as valuable as the ones on stage — and that only works when the room is curated.

Most gym summits are massive — 1,000 people, a vendor hall, sponsors pitching from stage every hour. That model works for the industry, but it doesn't work for the operator who's already past the basics. The LASSO Growth Summit is 100 curated operators, 10 speakers who are actively running or advising gyms at the highest level, and zero vendor booths. Every session is tactical, not motivational. You'll leave with a written 2027 playbook, not a notebook full of ideas you'll never implement.

Absolutely. This summit is not a LASSO sales pitch. It's built for any gym owner doing $15K+/month who wants to think bigger, plan smarter, and leave with the exact playbook to make 2027 their breakout year. The majority of speakers are external industry leaders — not LASSO team members. Whether you're a LASSO client, a Two-Brain client, or completely independent, you'll get massive value from the content, the connections, and the playbook.

We get it — life happens. If you need to cancel more than 30 days before the event, you'll receive a full refund. Within 30 days, we'll transfer your ticket to another gym owner or apply it as credit toward a future LASSO event. And if you show up and aren't convinced this summit will deliver 10x ROI by lunch on Day 1, tell one of our team members and we'll refund your ticket in full. No questions. No awkwardness.

Your ticket includes full two-day access to every keynote, breakout session, panel, and workshop. You'll also get all speaker slide decks and resources after the event, your complete 2027 marketing playbook, and entry to all networking events including the Day 1 happy hour. Both Early Bird and General Admission tickets include the same access — the only difference is pricing. Early Bird is $299 for the first 35 people, then it goes to $449.

The LASSO Growth Summit takes place at the Virgin Hotel Nashville — one of the most premium venues in Music City. November 7–8, 2026. Day 1 (Saturday) runs from 8:00 AM to 5:15 PM with a happy hour to follow. Day 2 (Sunday) runs from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. We recommend arriving Friday evening, November 6th, so you're fresh and ready. The hotel is in the heart of Nashville with world-class dining, nightlife, and amenities steps away.

Interested in sponsoring?

We work with a small, curated group of sponsors who genuinely serve gym owners. If your product helps gyms grow and you want to be in the room with 100 serious operators, we'd love to talk.
