BNI is meh unless you are in a very specific industry. Join the chamber and go to their meetings. This is of course assuming your chamber is actually does stuff

Get in on speaking at business events and give stats in how fit employees are more productive and happier. Business people love statistics that suggest they'll make more money. O&G, accounting/finance, and software development companies are all interested in fitness.

Also - a lot of health insurance companies offer members discounts on gym memberships and fitness products/services. That's another good industry to network with.

A couple of reasons. I mainly felt that BNI became a weekly meeting on how to perpetuate BNI; it started to feel like a second job that I didn't get paid for. Granted, the group I joined wasn't that good, and folded not too long after I quit. But, my experience was bad enough that I wouldn't go back.

BNI may work for you, but I haven't seen people in the fitness industry really do well with it. Try it out, though, and judge for yourself. I have friends who swear by BNI, and are always asking me to join again.
