The picturesque island of Malta and the beautiful Westin Dragonara Resort will set the scene for the much-anticipated W3Fit EMEA event, where major fitness operators will connect with the most innovative suppliers in the fitness industry.

Hosted from 4-7 October, the highly-regarded networking event offers operators and suppliers the perfect mix of meetings, education and networking opportunities in a five-star setting away from the pressures of the office.

Over 170 delegates will be in attendance and throughout the two business days, more than 1,000 pre-scheduled meetings will be conducted between operators and suppliers.

In addition to the meetings, this exclusive event boasts a social programme that will allow meaningful conversations and business connections while enjoying some of the most beautiful sights Malta has to offer.

The organiser, We Work Well Events, was founded on the core belief that wellness and movement should be integrated into all that we do and the programme for W3Fit will embark on a journey to change the way we do business as we know it.

Delegates can expect an action-packed few days where like-minded business professionals can connect and form lasting friendships.

W3Fit will welcome senior decision-makers from some of the most prominent operators across the EMEA:

UK - David Lloyd Leisure, Nuffield Health, Everlast Gyms, The Gym Group and Virgin Active.

The Middle East - Leejam Sports Company (Fitness Time), Ezdihar Sports, Kun Sports and Warehouse Gyms.

Europe - Synergym, Solinca, Hilton Worldwide, Four Seasons Hotels, My Fitness and Lemon Gyms/Impuls LT from Europe.

They will be joined by the leading suppliers in the fitness industry including the likes of Technogym, Life Fitness, MyZone, Active IQ, Jonas Fitness, Keiser, Freemotion, Les Mills and Alliance Leisure.

“The Maltese cross, a symbol of courage, honour and bravery is the theme that will be woven throughout the event in Malta. The fitness industry has been through an unprecedented few years and as leaders, we can act with courage, honour, and bravery to withstand current challenges and work together to further our industry," said David Zarb Jenkins, co-founder of W3Fit EMEA.

The excitement to reconnect with the industry at W3Fit in Malta has been overwhelming and it’s hard to believe this is still just the inaugural event. Having gathered the full support of the industry the newly launched annual event promises to be the place to be this October and beyond.
