Tech, Capital, and the Bottom Line: A Unified Metrics Playbook for Investors and Operators
As technology platforms generate richer streams of operational and financial data, the industry finally has the opportunity to align around a common language of performance. This session explores the KPIs that matter most—lifetime value, utilization, yield, engagement curves, churn signatures, and more—and how modern systems surface them with consistency across clubs, studios, and emerging fitness models. Hear how investors interpret these metrics, where operators often misread them, and what a unified dashboard can reveal about the true health of a business. A grounded conversation about making smarter decisions by measuring what actually moves the needle.
