REX Roundtables
Growing competition and a flat economy make it harder to produce a solid profit. It helps to have a group of like-minded peers who will help you develop a stronger business.
Imagine a small group of your peers—smart leaders in your industry committed to meeting with you several times a year to help you improve your business and your life—all in an honest and confidential climate. Scary? At times. Valuable? Absolutely! A community of smart, tough and supportive friends who understand your industry and the challenges of being the leader.
Questions to Ask
- Do you ever feel alone at the top?
- Do you want ideas on increasing profits?
- Learn to reduce costs not value?
- Want to reduce headaches and frustrations?

- Having a group of smart, business peers focusing on my business problems and challenging me to do my best.
- Improving implementation accountability?

If you had a few ‘yeses’ to these questions, it is time to find out if you are qualified to join REX.
What's the Agenda?Each Roundtable meets for two and a half consecutive days, three times a year. Members eat their meals together during each session. This informal interaction doubles the value. Each session is chaired by a master facilitator. The Chair’s job is to orchestrate the meetings and facilitate the right know-how from each member at the right time. At the most teachable moments the Chair provides just-in-time learning, often bringing in their expert perspective on management and relevant knowledge from other industries.
In addition to tackling the opportunities and problems raised by members, Roundtable sessions also have regular activities such as:
Visits to cutting edge clubs and other businesses that are relevant to clubs.
The roundtable focuses on a key aspect of the business like marketing, sales, hiring, or personal training and small group exercise. Members review, critique and improve each member’s approach so that everyone gets the benefit of in-depth learning about what does and does not work.
Members faced with a critical decision present what they intend to do to the group to sound it out and have it challenged and improved.
A standard set of financial and operational performance key indicators are reported on line in a secure place. This allows you to compare your performance against fellow round table members. You can question them about how they achieved their numbers. You will be challenged by your peers to move your numbers up. Each Roundtable shares their numbers every month. Performance is relentlessly pursued and enhanced by sharing best practices.
Two to three hours spent reviewing all aspects of your business including your plans for the future. Your club is reviewed every few years.
Shared in every meeting. This produces a pool of new ideas to draw from.
Created from the challenges and opportunities faced by the members. The chair orchestrates discussion from the group to develop insight, resources and decisions.
