Welcome back to The More We Know Podcast- Because the more we know, the more we grow!
Your mentor today: Chuck Runyon. Chuck Runyon is the co-founder and CEO of Anytime Fitness, the world's largest co-ed fitness club franchise. Think of them like the Mcdonald's of fitness! With MILLIONS worldwide at 4000+ gyms, the company does BILLIONS of revenue a year. With more than 20 years of experience managing, owning and franchising health clubs, Chuck Runyon has distinguished himself as a leading authority in the field of fitness. Runyon revolutionized the fitness industry when he and Dave Mortensen co-founded Anytime Fitness – an alternative to big-box gyms which typically feature expensive “frills” that few members actually use or need.
Under Runyon’s leadership, Anytime Fitness has earned numerous industry accolades, including the #1 Franchise on the planet, according to Entrepreneur magazine in 2015 & 2016, “One of America’s Most Promising Companies,” according to Forbes, and the “Fastest-Growing Fitness Club in the world,” according to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA). Additionally, Anytime Fitness has been honored as a “Top Franchise for Minorities” and “The Best Place to Work in Minnesota” three years in a row.
In 2012, Self Esteem Brands, the parent company of Anytime Fitness, acquired Waxing the City under Chuck’s leadership. Waxing the City specializes in providing outstanding, high-quality facial and body waxing services for women and men. Waxing the City has been named in Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Top New Franchise” list. Also owns The Bar Method and Basecamp Fitness
