"After 15+ years of knowing and working with Pete Moore and HALO, I have come to the conclusion that his new HALO Academy will forever change the way you look at the industry and the people that make the industry what it is today. HALO’s case study approach, along with Pete’s knowledge and industry experience, made me feel as if I received an advanced degree in the industry in just six weeks. I will continue to be a student in these classes as long as Pete continues to offer the classes. I would highly recommend anyone that wants to better educated themselves on the industry and the funding sources that drive this space, Join this academy today!"

"I took the HALO Academy 101 and I highly recommend it for anyone in the fitness industry. If you think that you need to learn more about finance, business valuation, and business strategy, this is the course for you. I should warn you, don't expect to sit through hours of lectures. Be prepared to read the case studies, contribute your expertise, and learn from your classmates. Pete Moore will keep you on your toes! Pete does a great job of encouraging and drawing the expertise of classmates to each case and educational session. I know I really learned a lot from my classmates, all thought leaders in the industry. I think the HALO Academy is one of best educational and professional development investments you can make for yourself!"

"Pete and David provided a top-notch 5 star course online case study program via their HALO Academy. As someone who has a degree in applied mathematics and graduated valedictorian from B-school, I’ve had the opportunity to witness great instruction (and terrible, too).

Pete and Dave’s case studies are spot on, highly relevant, and insightful into the unique world of wellness private equity. That being said, this class isn’t just for gym owners. Entrepreneurs starting their own CRM software/app, traditional real estate bankers looking for behind the scenes "thinking", supply chain logistic managers wondering how to better prepare for next year, and seasoned industry veterans with green newbies by their side alike will gain value from this course. The guest speakers aren’t just academics with limited theoretical druthers on a niche singular topic, but rather they are those with first-hand experience and historical involvement of the exact subjects being discussed.

Lastly, Pete and David clearly put research into you, the student, ahead of time to 1) better extrapolate your unique qualities for the benefit of everyone’s education, and 2) to deliver a more personalized and comfortable learning experience. Any undergrad or MBA school professors reading this? If so, considering adding HALO academy into your course study for a mid-term shift.
