Dave’s ability to connect and inspire those around him is unmatched. With more than 25 years of experience managing, consulting, owning and franchising health clubs, Dave Mortensen has distinguished himself as a leading authority in the field of fitness.

Mortensen revolutionized the fitness industry when he and Chuck Runyon co-founded Anytime Fitness – an alternative to big-box gyms. Mortensen and Runyon designed smaller, neighborhood clubs featuring the things members want most: convenience, affordability, quality equipment and surprisingly personable service in friendly, non-intimidating facilities. Today, Anytime Fitness is the largest fitness club brand in the world with more than 5,500 locations across 42 countries on all seven continents. Dave now serves on the board of Purpose Brands, LLC, the parent of Anytime Fitness, Orangetheory Fitness, The Bar Method, Basecamp Fitness and Waxing the City. He’s also a board member of the International Franchise Association (IFA).
