Creating a Successful Business Through Vision & Values, Armah Sports.

On this week’s Escape Your Limits Podcast episode, our guest today co-founded a gym which went on to become the 15^th largest global fitness club chain with more than 150 clubs. He took this company public on the Saudi Stock Exchange in 2018.

Soon after, Fahad Alhagbani and his family sold the business, and they went on to create a Saudi-based trio of fitness brands. He had a vision for it to be built on a foundation of software and technology. By establishing this new business, Armah Sports, he created an experience that would be unique and ground-breaking on the world stage.

The CEO & co-founder of Armah Sports shares:
