Today the IDEA Pro Show catches up with Shannon Fable, an industry professional who has shared her creative energy and expertise for over two decades. Among many topics, we discuss how fitness pros can take charge of their careers and intentionally build businesses that are both scalable and sustainable.  

Fable, who was named the 2013 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year and 2006 ACE Instructor of the Year, has spent the last 25 years helping brands such as Anytime Fitness, Schwinn®, Power Systems, ACE, Silver Sneakers, FIT4MOM and BOSU® as a fitness business and programming consultant.  An experienced educator, freelance writer, and certified Book Yourself Solid® Business Coach, she helps fitness entrepreneurs navigate the industry and make more money. She serves as the Ex Officio Chair of the Board for ACE; she’s on the Advisory Panel for the Association of Fitness Studios; and she co-founded and successfully sold GroupEx PRO®, a cloud-based group fitness management tool.
