Okay, Fuel Summit 2026, you win. My notes are FULL 📝
Thank you Deborah Goldberg for creating and hosting such an awesome event. The room was full of people who genuinely care about this industry and the people in it.
Some gems I'm taking home:
🎯 Elaine Jobson (congratulations, Fuel Woman of the Year 2026!): build an expectations document for every person on your team so everyone stays aligned on culture, values and attitudes. Simple, powerful, going in this week.
💛 Nat Grosvenor, who has survived two heart attacks and at least two restarts, lives by a people-first philosophy. “Living an extraordinary life requires extraordinary effort.” "Be relentless, not ruthless."
🙋♀️ Adriana Kalidis asked the question every gym owner should ask: "How can you make 1 member in your club feel more seen?"
🦴 Mairi Thompson dropped a stat worth remembering: 1 in 3 women over 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. 20 jumps a day can start your bones rebuilding at any age. That's progress you can't see on a scale.
⚡ And Natalie Cook closed the day with the whole room running for balls, smiling and laughing. "You can't outsource your push-ups."
So many generous speakers shared their stories, including Elaine Jobson, Bianca Fehlberg, Alisha Hansen, Billie Cox, Amal Wakim, Bianca Sengos, Danielle Monroy, Jodie Sims and Mairi Thompson. This industry is in good hands.
Feeling grateful, refilled and ready to keep making progress visible. If you want to see progress the scale misses, head to https://3dmeasureme.com.
