Anthony Geisler has been dismissed as CEO of Xponential Fitness following notice of a USAO investigation. The news follows some negative press over the last year, most notably a December 2023 Bloomberg article. Xponential shares took a hit following that article, but Xponential's shares had a good start to the year, and had since recovered to a level HIGHER than when the piece was published. After today's announcement by the company, Xponential shares have dropped by around 30%. Xponential have 11 brands, over 3,000 locations, have been at a $3bn+ valuation, peaking in April 2023. After this news, they stand at a $400m market cap. This is an important story to follow if you're in the boutique fitness space and franchising.

Optimizing Off-Season Training for Competitive Athletes Finding the right balance in your off-season training can be crucial for maintaining peak physical condition without overtraining. Here’s a quick guide on how to structure your training weeks: 1️⃣ Frequency Matters: Aim for 2-4 days of structured training per week, depending on the intensity of your sport. This range ensures you maintain a solid base level of conditioning without risking burnout. 2️⃣ Count Your Sport: If your sport sessions are intense and last about an hour and a half, include these as part of your training days. This helps in allocating rest days effectively and avoiding over-conditioning. 3️⃣ Adjust Intensity: If your sport involves lighter activity, consider adding more conditioning days to keep up your fitness levels. Conversely, if the training is rigorous, limit additional conditioning to prevent fatigue. 4️⃣ Diversify Your Focus: Use the off-season to work on strength, power, speed, and functional movements. It's a perfect time to enhance aspects that are crucial but less focused on during the competitive season. 🌟 The off-season isn't just downtime—it's a strategic period to prepare and advance your athletic performance. Keep these tips in mind to make the most out of your training! #AthleteTraining #OffSeason #SportsConditioning #CompetitiveSports #TrainingTips

A massive shakeup in leadership at Xponential Fitness is going to have many in the boutique fitness industry asking what’s next for the boutique behomoth… Today it was announced that Brenda Morris would replace Anthony Geisler as CEO of Xponential immediately following the announcement of a second federal investigation. The news isn’t necessarily surprising as the brand has been dogged by difficult press since last summit. What is surprising is the juxtaposition between leadership struggles and what is undoubtably been a great start to the year: ▪️Q1 earnings hit $79.52 million in revenue ▪️Total North American memberships grew 17% year over year to 783,000+ members ▪️ And a 25% year over year increase in system wide sales. With a second federal investigation announced there is a dark cloud of questions and concerns hovering over the brand. It shows all the potential in the world, if it can shake off questions over its numbers, concerns over its FDD and franchisee complaints that spiraled into a major article. For now it’s watch and wait to see how this new leadership can shift the conversation, regain franchisee and market trust, all while continuing the growth pattern that has this year looking like Xponential’s best ever.

Have your practice drills become stale and unproductive? Players not motivated by the drills selected? This common problem can be addressed by creating or selecting more useful, dynamic, game-like, and engaging activities for players.

🏌️‍♂️⛳️ Top 5 Reasons Golfers Should Strength Train ⛳️🏌️‍♀️ A thread 🧵 1. Injury Prevention: Plain and simple, strength creates resiliency. Building muscle strength around joints helps stabilize them, reducing the risk of common golf injuries like lower back pain and shoulder strains. Strengthening core muscles is especially beneficial for protecting the spine throughout violent movements like a golf swing. ⚠️🚫 2. Enhanced Swing Power: Strength training, when done at proper intensities and speeds improves muscle strength and power, translating to more force behind your swing. More strength and power leads to greater clubhead speed and longer drives! 💪🏌️‍♂️ 3. Increased Endurance: Golf may not seem physically demanding, but walking 18 holes while swinging a club can take a toll on your body. Strength training improves overall endurance, helping you stay energized, strong and focused longer throughout your round. 🚶‍♂️💨 4. Better Control and Accuracy: An athletic, controlled body allows for more precise movements during your swing. Strength training can provide a lot of improvement to contralateral movement, coordination, and proprioception. All of this can help improve your accuracy on the course, leading to lower scores! 🎯⛳️ 5. Mental Edge: Beyond the physical benefits, strength training can boost confidence and mental resilience on the course. Knowing you've put in the work off the course can provide a psychological advantage, helping you stay calm and focused under pressure. 💭💡

Pre-training preparation, particularly soccer-specific warm-ups, is a critical facet of optimizing player performance and reducing the risk of injuries in the dynamic sport of soccer 🤔 UNDERSTANDING PRE-TRAINING PREPARATION AIMS 👍 More than a routine, the pre-training warm-up strategically readies soccer athletes physically, mentally, and neurologically. Beyond raising heart rates, it aims to enhance physical readiness, engage players mentally, prevent injuries, and prime the neuromuscular system for optimal performance. 1. Physical Readiness: Focuses on increasing blood flow, raising core temperature, and activating key muscle groups through dynamic stretching, mobility exercises, and light aerobics. 2. Mental Engagement: Incorporates visualization exercises, cognitive drills, and game scenario simulations during warm-ups to transition players from relaxation to a focused mindset. 3. Injury Prevention: Progressively loads muscles and joints, reducing injury risks related to sudden movements, accelerations, and directional changes inherent in soccer. 4. Neuromuscular Priming: Targets rapid changes in direction, explosive movements, and quick decision-making through drills mirroring the game’s demands. 😊

Xponential Fitness has appointed an interim CEO, Brenda Morris after the board suspends Anthony Geisler. 📉Shares crashed 33% on the news to his an all time low. "The investigations include allegations of securities fraud and a lack of transparency by the company. Under the direction of Geisler, Xponential (XPOF) is accused of misleading investors by inflating same-store sales and average unit volume metrics as measures of the health of the franchises. The company is also accused of falsely claiming the company has never closed a store, that average stores are not losing money, and for not disclosing that 80% of Xponential’s brands have unprofitable business models." We recently interview Anthony Geisler on LIFTS where he outlined the growth strategy for the leading boutique fitness brand. It is unfortunate to see this action taken - there is always more to the story. One thing was clear to me, Anthony absolutely showed up to work everyday and spent every minute fighting for his vision. There have been several leadership changes in the category recently, including Peloton Interactive and Planet Fitness, who seem to have navigated their respective CEO transitions well. Will the same hold true for Xponential? Let me know below. 👇 #xpof #fitness #boutique #public #leadership #ceo

This is a very interesting story. Been following for a while and expected the hammer to come down at any minute. I have firsthand experience working with XPO and while ill let my true feelings reside in the deepest recesses of my brain I can offer a few opinions: XPO definitely has some work to do with their corporate leadership. Some of the brands are still fairly new and you can tell that some of the pups in charge are also new. This is a clear indicator and example on why hiring is so important and needs vetting from various angles specifically from a corporate standpoint. It will be interesting in the up and coming months what brands survive. Apparently 2 of the 10 brands under XPO are turning a profit. Still remains to be seen which those are but I have a few guesses.

Strength training vs hypertrophy training have distinct goals and methods ( What’s the difference between) #Strength Training Objective: Increase maximal force generation. Reps/Sets: Low reps (1-6), high weight. Sets: 3-5+. Intensity: 80%-100% of 1RM. Rest Periods: 2-5 minutes. Exercises: Compound movements (e.g., squats, deadlifts). Benefits: Enhances muscle strength, power, bone density, and joint stability. #Hypertrophy Training Objective: Increase muscle size. Reps/Sets: Moderate reps (6-12), moderate weight. Sets: 3-6. Intensity: 60%-80% of 1RM. Rest Periods: 30 seconds to 1.5 minutes. Exercises: Compound and isolation exercises. Benefits: Enhances muscle size, endurance, and appearance. #Comparison and Integration Strength training boosts maximal force, ideal for athletes needing power. Hypertrophy training grows muscle size, perfect for bodybuilders. Both can complement each other for balanced development and fitness. #Choosing the Right Approach Strength Training: Best for maximizing strength and power. Hypertrophy Training: Ideal for increasing muscle size and definition. Understanding these differences helps tailor training to specific fitness goals.
