We know finding fitness education you trust can be hard.

In 13 years of hosting the conference, we are continually committed to bringing in the leading scientists and experts in the field.

Leadership is lonely.  Building a business is challenging. Operating a strength training studio since 2013, I have sought mentorship and training from various sales organizations and business coaches over the years.  It was when I came to the Resistance Exercise conference in 2019 that I found the definitive source of industry-specific learning for myself and my team, validation, inspiration, and a strong, welcoming community.

One of the things that impressed me most is how friendly and open to sharing everyone is.  The fitness world can be full of big egos but I did not experience this at REC.

If you are an owner, aspiring owner, or trainer, come to REC and give yourself the advantage sooner than later.  Your business will flourish faster and your clients/team members will thank you.  It’s the place where people present will really “get you” and you will get them!

Kirei Yasunori, Evolved Health, Calgary Canada

For us, evidence-based exercise is a core value so, it’s important that we are exposed to the brightest and the best when it comes to exercise research. The REC conference is absolutely the resource for us to continue to learn from!

Kyle Recchia, President, The Perfect Workout
Community may be the most important part of business and life. Real growth comes from relationships, and the people we surround ourselves with. This is why the Resistance Exercise Conference has become one of the major pillars in our community. The information
that is shared is world-class, the experience is second to none but most importantly it is this growth and feeling of community that allows
all of us to expand both personally and professionally. REC allows us to connect in a more organic way. It allows us to forge friendships and share ideas in an environment that is unmatched. Although it is a “Conference” it has become something more. A Gathering, a Tribe, in many ways a Family.
I look forward to re-connecting with this amazing group of people that have become very important to me. It is my sincerest belief that REC, at its fundamental basics, is a catalyst to propel those who attend to a higher level in their journey in life and fitness.

At the Resistance Exercise Conference, we know you want to be the exercise authority. In order to do that, you need a conference where you can learn from experts and build collegiality. The problem is there are no conferences that cater to the evidence-based resistance exercise practitioner, which makes them feel lonely and disconnected from their community. We believe exercise should be science-based. We understand it can be hard to step away from your business, which is why for the past 10 years, REC has been the number one conference where the evidence-based resistance exercise community comes together to learn.

Getting registered is easy:

1. Click Register.

2. Fill out the information to complete your registration.

3. Learn and grow your business at REC!

So, register today! So you can stop feeling isolated and instead feel revitalized and connected to peers that believe what you believe.
