In this episode, Heather @heatheradams.fitness and Val @valerielusvardi explore the role of FitTech in our health journeys—where it helps, where it hinders, and how to find a sustainable middle ground. They break down how tools like the Oura Ring and tracking apps can support awareness around patterns like weight fluctuations, menstrual cycles, and sleep, offering helpful insights for long-term well-being.But with that data comes a caution: technology should enhance, not override, our ability to listen to our own bodies. Heather and Val emphasize the importance of balancing external feedback with internal cues, and they offer practical ideas for self-tracking that prioritize movement, recovery, and intuition over rigid metrics. Whether you're deep into fitness tech or simply curious, this conversation is a thoughtful guide to using it without losing touch with yourself.

Natalia Karbasova is the CEO of the FitTech Company and Founder of the FitTech Summit, the leading conference in Europe devoted to fitness technology and the future of wellbeing and healthy lifestyle. Throughout our interview, she illustrates where technology is taking the fitness industry. Right now, health is the largest market in the world. And Silicon Valley now wants its piece of the action. In the race for gym members and subscribers, the fitness industry has been given a head start. But Big Tech is catching up really fast – forcing brands to reimagine the gym experience or become obsolete. Big Tech's move into fitness was always going to happen, pandemic or not. But what does that mean for the traditional fitness industry? How will fit-tech influence gyms in the years to come? In this insightful talk, she shares her view about what the future holds.

We've watched Bande grow from founder obsession to growing community living on a tech platform. And in creating a social network for boutique fitness, Rebecca Balyasny, CEO and Founder of Bande, has truly put herself into brand new territory. She's not new to setting goals and achieving, which you'll hear about on the podcast episode, but she IS new to starting her own business in the fitness space. Previous to founding Bande, she had a career she loved in finance - and while at Prudential she raised her hand to fundraise a $2 billion fund - a challenge that took her more than a year and left her "boss's boss's boss" scratching their head because "no one had ever volunteered for that kind of challenge before. And through that experience and her work with founders and startups, she caught the bug, second-hand. "I’ve always been really interested in founders and entrepreneurs and their stories and what they went through," she explained, noting that, "No one can ever tell you what it’s like until you experience it" Bande, though, scratches a new itch for her. Solving a problem that was nagging at her - and doing it in an elegant way. "It was an idea born out of covid and just desperation to both connect with friends and get in the best workouts possible," She said. "It was really accelerated during COVID and I realized that there was nothing out there that allowed you to connect socially with your friends and get in a great workout and I just saw that whitespace."

On this episode of the Customer Discovercast I sat down with Blaine Killen to talk about the future of fitness and how he plans to disrupt the fitness industry.Blaine is the Founder of FitLift, the world's most advanced personal trainer which uses a wrist sensor to track the users movements to ensure they are performing movements with correct form.We talked about the moment where Blaine decided to take the entrepreneur from his Software Engineering job at Microsoft and Rev to pursue his dreams as well as the high points and potentially business ending roadblocks that they overcame to get to where they are right now. I have said for many years that the fitness industry (the personal training industry most specifically) is perfectly poised for disruption. Over the years it has become more expensive and as the industry becomes saturated with low quality information it becomes increasingly more important to provide clients with the tools they need to take their health into their own hands! I believe FitLift is a huge step in the right direction because it compliments workout videos very well to ensure that the user gets real time feedback when performing the exercises so the right neuromuscular connections are made right off the bat!Blaine can be reached using the following links:https://www.fitlift.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bjkillen/
