Why Gym Owners and Operators Must Take Ownership of AI | Fernando Chilvarguer, CIO at The Bay Club Company
Description
Coming off the heels of The Fitness Technology Summit, we continue the conversation that is dominating boardrooms and locker rooms alike: artificial intelligence.
If you are tired of hearing about AI, you are not alone. But as Fernando Chilvarguer, Chief Information Officer at The Bay Club Company, explains, one day AI will be so deeply woven into how we operate that we will finally stop talking about it. That day is not today.
In this episode of All Things Fitness and Wellness, host Krissy Vann explores how gym owners and operators can move from curiosity to confident adoption. Fernando breaks down the tools that are worth paying attention to, the systems that are evolving fastest, and why the fitness industry might want to take ownership of its digital future by building open source models instead of relying solely on third party tech giants.
Expect smart takes, real world applications, and a candid discussion on how to navigate the AI hype cycle with strategy and intention. In an era where technology is moving faster than most businesses can adapt, the biggest risk is ignoring the shift altogether.
