Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a game-changer! In this session, Jayde shares her journey through the fitness industry, from sales consultant to Franchise Operations and Member Experience Manager for Anytime Fitness New Zealand. Through the highs, the challenges, and the moments of self-doubt, she discovered that leaning into her strengths—rather than conforming to expectations—was the key to real impact. This session will inspire gym owners, coaches, and leaders to embrace their unique strengths, build deeper connections, and create communities that drive lasting success.
Presenter: Kylie Gates
Transformation begins within, not from the outside. When you transform your inner world it becomes reflected in your outer world. Self-discovery is necessary for transformation, and it can be a difficult first step. How can you overcome things if you don’t see them clearly? In order to get at what may be blocking you, holding you back or limiting you, it requires a deep investigation of self. In this session, Kylie will share her story and her simple steps to Transform from the inside out.

All things considered, we look to be clear of lockdowns but, well, we just can’t know for sure! We’re as committed to making this happen as we’ve ever been and look forward to sharing this amazing experience with you.
Here are a few things to note.
If COVID (or some other unforeseen force majeure) prevents us from holding the live event in Sydney or Auckland, we’ll move to an online (and still awesome) version of the event. This means that we’ll automatically transfer your ticket to a virtual seat.
Once you purchase or make a deposit on a ticket, you are considered a registered attendee of the Fuel Women’s Fitness Business Summit 2025. If you need to cancel for any reason, you’ll need to send an email to deborah@fuel-summit.com requesting a cancellation.
We really appreciate your support and understanding as supplier commitments often require us to make non-refundable payments based on attendee numbers anywhere from 12 weeks out from the event.
In the event that you really can’t make the event, we fully encourage you to transfer the ticket to someone else who would benefit from attending. You can transfer your ticket to a friend, colleague or family member anytime up to 72 hrs prior to the event. Simply send an email to deborah@fuel-summit.com with your transfer request and connect us to the person who’ll be taking your ticket.
In the case that you’re planning to travel to Sydney or Auckland and will incur travel and/or accommodation costs, we strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance. You’ll want to ensure that the policy you take out covers COVID-related disruptions, among other things. Your credit card may also provide some level of coverage. We can’t advise you on this so it’s best to do your own research to make sure you feel confident in your choice of coverage.
