Among its successes, Anytime Fitness has seen strong growth in same-store sales across franchise locations and bookings for group training.
The Vitamin Shoppe named Lee Wright its new CEO and Muriel Gonzalez its new president, a pair of appointments that come after the wellness brand’s parent company, Franchise Group, announced its intentions to go private through a $2.6 billion management buyout.
