LOIVE Inc. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; President and CEO: Ayaka Maekawa), which operates 236 women-only fitness studios nationwide, announced its participation in the user exchange meeting for the core system specialized for fitness and sports clubs, "CLUBNET," held on July 8, 2026 (Wed) under the auspices of Fitcom Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Isao Takejiro). The event was held in conjunction with "SPORTEC 2026," Japan's largest comprehensive exhibition for the sports and health industry.

On the day, Keita Shimizu, Executive Vice President, CFO of our company, took the stage and engaged in a lively exchange of opinions with executives and operators from the same industry, aiming to solve industry challenges and foster future "collaboration."

Background and Objectives of the Event: Leveraging SPORTEC to Foster "Collaboration" Beyond Industry Boundaries

The fitness industry is currently at a major turning point, facing accelerated DX (Digital Transformation) and diversifying customer needs.

This "CLUBNET User Exchange Meeting" was held at an opportune moment, taking advantage of "SPORTEC," Japan's largest comprehensive exhibition for the sports and health industry, to bring together industry stakeholders. The objective was not merely to facilitate interaction among system users, but for players in the same industry who share similar challenges and aspirations to gather, share real-world insights, and for each participant to gain knowledge applicable to their future management.

Through this event, LOIVE Inc. aimed to deepen exchanges among participants and actively engage in discussions to create "new business collaborations (alliances)" that leverage each other's strengths.

Event Overview and Discussion Content

At the event, our Executive Vice President, CFO, Keita Shimizu, presented on "Strategies and Organizational Development Supporting LOIVE's Growth." As a practical example of data-driven management based on CLUBNET, he shared details about the three growth engines supporting LOIVE's expansion: 1. Human Resource Development, 2. Customer Success, and 3. Management Foundation through Data and Systems. He provided explanations based on his actual experiences, particularly highlighting the strengths in marketing and business integration that have achieved both high customer retention rates and revenue efficiency, as well as governance and system utilization to support the multi-store expansion of 236 locations.

In the subsequent exchange of opinions, participants actively shared current challenges and success stories in the fitness market. Recognizing the limitations of individual company efforts, a highly positive discussion took place regarding the potential for concrete collaborations and partnerships that go beyond mere "horizontal connections," by openly sharing real-world know-how held by each company.

【Comment from Keita Shimizu, Executive Vice President, CFO】

"I am extremely pleased to have had such a productive exchange of opinions with CLUBNET users who share the same aspirations, carrying the same enthusiasm as at 'SPORTEC.' In the current fitness industry, open sharing of knowledge among companies is indispensable. By sharing the real challenges and future prospects faced by each company, I am confident that we have taken a significant step towards concrete collaboration, going beyond simple interaction. We look forward to co-creating the future of fitness business together with all of you."
