ABOUT CHRIS CARLING

I’ve spent almost 20 years in the fitness and leisure industry, starting out as a Personal Trainer and working my way through roles in membership sales, health & fitness management, and ultimately into regional and commercial leadership. Along the way, I discovered my passion: helping businesses unlock growth through the right mix of people, technology, and strategy.Today, I combine my deep industry knowledge with expertise in product management, SaaS solutions, digital transformation, and customer success. From software configuration and implementation to training and roadmap development, I focus on outcomes—not just solutions. My goal is to make technology feel less complex and more impactful for the people who use it every day.What sets me apart is my ability to connect with everyone in the value chain—from members and staff on the gym floor to executives shaping strategy. I know what motivates customers, what challenges operators face, and how the right digital tools can drive meaningful results.I’m at my best when I’m:• Partnering with clients to turn challenges into opportunities• Leading cross-functional teams to bring ideas to life• Aligning products with real-world needs to deliver measurable business impactAt the heart of it all, I’m motivated by seeing people and businesses grow—whether that’s a fitness operator scaling through technology, a product team delivering a stronger roadmap, or a customer hitting their KPIs
