In this week's episode, we sit down with Adam Lewit, founder of NovoFit, to hear how a $80,000 loan and a lot of nerve turned into one of Australia's leading commercial fitness distributors.
Adam takes us back to the early days of Summit Fitness, the leap into commercial distribution through Sports Art, and the high-stakes bet on Precor that nearly broke the business before it made it. It's a conversation about risk, relationships and what it actually takes to earn the trust of global manufacturers.
We cover:
– The jump from home fitness retail to commercial distribution
– What global brands actually look for when choosing a distributor
– Building trust through relationships, not just contracts
– Where the fitness industry is heading, from AI to the shift toward wellness
Whether you're building a brand, managing supplier relationships or just want to hear what it takes to bring the world's best fitness equipment into the Australian market, Adam brings two decades of hard-earned lessons and a few good stories along the way.
See you next time spotters.
