24 Hour Fitness Worldwide, the world’s largest privately owned and operated fitness center chain, began as a one-club operation in 1983. From the start, 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide Chairman and visionary, Mark S. Mastrov, had a vision to make fitness a way of life by creating the ultimate in multi-sport fitness centers and making 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 Nautilus made headlines in 1994 when it partnered with investment banking firm McCown DeLeeuw & Co. Soon thereafter the Southern California based Family Fitness Centers chain was acquired and the name 24 Hour Fitness was born. 24 Hour Fitness has since grown to more than 385 clubs in 16 states and become the largest privately owned and operated fitness center chain in the United States and world.
Under Mastrov’s leadership, the company expanded to Asia in 2000 through the purchase of Ray Wilson’s California Fitness Centers, and currently operates facilities in four Asian countries. The company now boasts more than 3 million members in more than 385 clubs worldwide.
