AF Project Seminars

The AF Project Seminars were created specifically to help fitness entrpreneurs create and implement intelligent, actionable plans to grow their businesses.  Both Seminars 1.0 and 2.0 are extremely detailed, and provide real, concrete tools for increasing financial performance and personal satisfaction.  

Seminars are led by founder Jon Gilson, a proven operator with more than a decade of success in business, coaching, and entrepreneurship.


“I’m no stranger to discussing business in a classroom setting, as I am currently finishing up my degree in management, but Jon was able to deliver more relevant advice and content in eight hours than I have received in all of my institutional education combined.
— Corey, AF Project 2.0 Attendee
