Paul Byrne is the former President of Precor. He's also a forward-thinking innovator who’s the reason every gym in America has an elliptical machine.

Under his leadership, he transformed Precor into a $350 million-dollar global supplier of home and commercial fitness equipment and was a key asset in its recent acquisition by Peloton.

Today, he serves as an industry advisor and is the author of two powerful prediction reports that will change the game for the health and wellness sector and continue pushing the entire industry to innovate.

What does the future look like for manufacturers? Where is the boutique segment headed? How do you go about being successful in an overly saturated consumer space?

Paul has the answers.
