Booking a Fitness Speaker for a Corporate Event
By Dai Manuel, health and fitness speaker. 27 September 2026.
Fitness talks at work are about time, not gyms
Your people are not short on information about exercise. They are short on time and energy. A fitness speaker earns the fee by showing how thirty minutes a day fits around meetings, commutes and school runs, not by selling a gym routine nobody will follow.
Formats and what they cost
For reference, my current rates: a keynote from $3,000, a half-day guided workshop from $4,000, a 90-minute lunch and learn at $500 plus $50 per attendee, and emcee or host work from $2,500 for a half day. Per diem and travel are negotiated on top of the fee. Other speakers price differently, but the shape is similar.
Make it last past Friday
The talk is the start. Ask your speaker for one habit the whole team can try for a week, and plan a check-in. Small, shared and visible beats a big announcement that dies in the group chat.
