Forging a Place For Female Leadership in Fitness: Meet Andrea Bell, Inspire Brands Asia Partner and Anytime Fitness Master Franchisor and Learn What’s Factors Are Driving Success For Women in Fitness

Y’all,

Ever had one of those days where juggling even a handful of fitness classes feels like a whirlwind? 

Oh, trust me, I've been there, and I've got the coffee stains on my shirt to prove it!

But imagine, just for a second, being the driving force behind 340 fitness studios. (Mind-blowing, right?)

In EPISODE 575, we’re entering the world of Andrea Bell, the wonder woman who brought Anytime Fitness to Asia. 

And no, that's not a typo – we're talking about 340 locations!

Here’s what we’re chatting about:

  • Anytime Fitness Takes on Asia: Andrea's journey of turning a dream into 340 bustling Anytime Fitness clubs. It's a story you won't want to miss.
  • The Real Deal on Team Building: The highs, lows, and absolute “did that just happen?” moments.
  • Boutique Fitness Vibes: Discover the unique rhythm of fitness in Asia. (It's not what you'd expect.)
  • The Ownership Tango: Owning 30% of those fitness hubs? Yep, it’s a tale with twists.
  • US vs. Asia – Fitness Showdown: Different continents, contrasting cultures. 

Intrigued? I thought you might be. 

Dive deep with me into EPISODE 575 and let's uncover these stories together with a dash of excitement and a sprinkle of curiosity.

With grit and gratitude,

Lisé
