 In
late 1998, a new fitness club concept that combined a boxer and kickboxer's
workout regimen with an environment that is fun and appeals to people
of all fitness levels was created. The original The Boxing Club™
was on the third story of a Pacific Beach gym in only 3,000 square
feet of space. The first clients seeking our unique services found
themselves climbing several flights of stairs to enter a doorway that
exploded into a world of color, music, neon, murals, equipment, a
diamond-plate steel ring and PLENTY OF ACTION. People came from all
over seeking out an alternative to the "traditional gym"
and found a fun, non-threatening environment and a workout they loved
to do. Fitness drill classes such as Cardio Combat along with Boxing
and Kickboxing training packed the house with people in search of
the ultimate workout!
At the end of 2002, Wade
Capital Management, LLC purchased The Boxing Club Holdings and the
two company - owned locations: The Boxing

Hour Fitness®, the world's largest privately owned and operated

the start, 24 Hour Fitness Chairman and CEO, Mark S. Mastrov, had
a vision to make fitness a way of life by creating the ultimate in
multi-sport fitness centers and make them affordable and accessible
to people of all abilities and fitness levels.
By the end of 1994, that lone club
had grown to more than 32 fitness centers in Northern California,
giving birth to the 24 Hour Nautilus fitness chain. Convenient locations,
the latest equipment, affordable pricing, knowledgeable staff, and
outstanding service - all available up to 24 hours a day, seven days
a week - contributed to the company's tremendous growth and success.
24 Hour Fitness has continued it's
expansion through 2005. Today, 24 Hour Fitness has more than 3 million
members and 340 clubs in 16 states and three countries in Asia. 24
Hour Fitness is the largest privately owned and operated fitness center
chain in the United States and world.
The 340+ club chain made it's debut
on reality television in 2004. 24 Hour Fitness worked closely with
executives at NBC on developing a new reality show, "The Biggest
Loser," which featured 12 overweight contestants competing to
lose weight over several months. 24 Hour Fitness built an onsite gym,
including all state-of-the-art equipment, at the ranch where contestants
lived while competing on the program. The show, which aired in late
2004 and early 2005, showcased 24 Hour Fitness' mission to make fitness
a way of life for everyone, no matter what their fitness ability.
