Creating a closed feedback loop is critical to the success of any business, especially in the increasingly competitive fitness space – and is key to selling and retaining memberships. This seminar will explore when and how to ask for feedback from your members, how to measure and analyse the feedback, and what actions you should take to grow your business.

Shelley Austin

Regional Manager

The Gym Group

Having had a 20 year love affair with the fitness sector, 3 marathons, 3 children and a number of tattoos later, I am still as passionate and excited about the work I do.

Having the fortune of working various roles within operations and supply, I have a wealth of experience to draw upon. My newest role within TGG is Regional Manager across London, Herts, Beds and Bucks. I thrive on challenge and often take myself outside of comfort to ensure self-development is achieved. I love to support, motivate and deliver great outcomes, with the ultimate goal to draw out the best version of every team member and member. I am just finishing a Masters in Senior Leadership, which has been my latest qualification and self-development goal.

I am a regular and keen netball player and coach.. I love to run and functional/strength training are my favourite painful pass times. I love to read, listen to great podcasts and generally aim to make the most of every day, life is, after all, a precious gift. I feel hugely blessed to be in a sector, organisation and role, where I can truly make a difference.
