Julian Barnes is the co-founder and CEO of Boutique Fitness Solutions. The New York-based company educates and connects people in boutique fitness through training, workshops, sharing business methods, and providing thought leadership.


Julian also is the COO of the MELT Method, and advises leaders in the fitness industry.


I love what he shares with us about how the fitness industry must be “evangelical” in promoting the benefits of exercise and healthy living. You’ve got to get out there in your community, network, promote, educate, and tell your story, over and over. He has some great suggestions for how studios can do that — and how studio owners should be thinking about the great opportunity presented by the pandemic.
