Global Fitness 100™
2025 Edition
Recognizing the 100 most powerful leaders shaping the global fitness industry.
The Moment for Leadership
The global fitness economy has surpassed $100B. Innovation, disruption, and cultural influence are redefining health, performance, and wellness. Yet, the industry remains fragmented, and true leadership is rare.
The Global Fitness 100™ was created to honor the individuals setting the standard for excellence — those driving change, defining new models, and shaping the future of fitness worldwide. This is not just a recognition; it is the definitive power list, the benchmark of influence, innovation, and execution across the global fitness industry.
Why We Honor the Industry’s Visionaries
- Global Reach: Leaders impacting millions across markets and continents.
- Innovative Thinking: Visionaries pioneering technology, business models, and experiences.
- Operational Excellence: Executives delivering measurable growth, retention, and performance.
- Cultural & Social Impact: Icons shaping accessibility, wellness, and community.

- Impact: Market influence, operational reach, and business outcomes.
- Innovation: Breakthroughs in product, service, or experience.
- Leadership: Vision, organizational culture, and talent development.
