The AI Reality Breakfast (What’s Actually Working in Gyms Right Now)
The AI Reality Breakfast
HFA Week | Tuesday 8:30 AM
Every booth at HFA is talking about AI this year.
This breakfast is about what’s actually real.
Before the expo floor opens, a small group of fitness operators and industry leaders are meeting for breakfast in the Gaslamp to compare notes on what’s actually working inside gyms today.
No slides.
No sales pitches.
Just honest operator conversation.
We’ll talk about things like:
• how gyms are actually capturing new members right now
• what lead follow-up looks like in 2026
• where automation is helping operators
• where the industry is completely overselling AI
Carl Case, CEO of Skipio, and Ryan Wiederspan, SVP Business Development of Solution 1 Partners will also share a few patterns they are seeing across thousands of businesses using conversational voice and text automation to capture and convert leads.
These breakfasts usually end up being the most valuable conversation of the week!
