As the CEO and Co-founder of Self Esteem Brands, Chuck Runyon leads a global collection of franchises intent upon improving the health and wellness of millions of people worldwide. A leading authority in the field of fitness, Runyon revolutionized the industry when he and Dave Mortensen co-founded Anytime Fitness in 2002. The world’s largest and fastest-growing fitness club serves 4,000,000 members in nearly 40 countries and it is the first franchise in history with locations on all seven continents. Anytime Fitness features precisely what people say they want most from a gym: convenience, affordability, supportive coaching and a wide range of fitness program options. For his unprecedented and unique contributions to the fitness industry, Chuck was honored as the “Visionary of the Year” by the International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA). He and Dave Mortensen also were recently named “Entrepreneurs of the Year” by Ernst & Young. In addition to Anytime Fitness, Self Esteem Brands serves as the parent company to three other rapidly-growing franchises: Waxing the City – with nearly 200 studios dedicated to providing the finest waxing experience imaginable; The Bar Method – a popular, low-impact fitness franchise with more than 100 studios across 30 states and Canada; and Basecamp Fitness – a new high-intensity, class-based fitness concept. Central to Chuck’s leadership philosophy is the concept of “ROEI” – the return on emotional investment. In fact, Chuck recently co-authored a book called “Love Work: Inspire a high-performing work culture at the center of People, Purpose, Profits and Play®.” Under Runyon’s leadership, Anytime Fitness has earned numerous industry accolades, including “One of America’s Most Promising Companies” and the world’s #1 franchise. Additionally, Anytime Fitness has been honored as a “Top Franchise for Minorities” and “The Best Place to Work in Minnesota” – four years in a row.

Possessing the mind of an engineer and the heart of a teacher, in combination with financial and business acumen, have enabled delivery of tangible impacts throughout my career. As the current CFO of Self Esteem Brands, I was challenged to re-engineer the finance function to support two rapidly growing franchise systems and a variety of supporting companies. Over the last 3 years, we have been effective in driving recurring revenue streams, improving financial and operational reporting, creating distribution capacity improvements, and implementing cost savings supporting double-digit EBITDA growth rates. We also took an overworked and struggling finance department and established it as an organizational strength in a company where culture is a key performance driver. During my 10 years as Chief Financial Officer with Family Christian, we transformed a “mom & pop Bible store” chain into a nationally branded specialty retailer with a strong financial and operating foundation. During those years, we faced two significant challenges: recession-induced weakness in sales that threatened future liquidity and the desire of the owners to sell the company. We successfully overcame both challenges, and the company was acquired by a high net worth Christian group in 2012, realizing the long-desired ownership objective. The challenge on day 1 at ShopKo Stores, Inc. was resolving a liquidity crisis that forecasted the company would be out of cash and borrowing capacity within weeks. After tactically avoiding the covenant violation and cash dominion triggers, we consolidated two chains to gain economies of scale and generated over $100 million in working capital improvements to create liquidity and pay down debt. “You’ve been spending more time working on the business vs. in the business and it’s paying dividends, empowering the team to make better decisions, and instilling a needed dose of financial discipline and accountability.” CEO of Self Esteem Brands

RN | Founder | CEO | Co-Owner of The Point Retreats - Retreat Facilitator - Certified Wilderness First Aid - CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor Administrator and Results Analysis) - Heartmath Trainer and Coach - Lifestyle & Functional Medicine Health Educator - Certified EQ-i & EQ-i 360 Test Administrator and Results Coach I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 20 years in emergency medicine, cardiac care, orthopedics, primary care, diabetes education, and endocrinology. I have a Bachelors Degree in Nursing, Masters Degree in Healthcare Leadership, Advanced training from the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Institute of Functional Medicine, and American Academy of Functional Medicine. It was during my time working as a diabetes nurse educator, followed by my role as Director of Diabetes Care and Endocrinology, that I was motivated to be a change agent in the way we treat and manage chronic disease. I was alarmed at the increased prevalence of diabetes and the complex nature and cost of managing the disease. I was inspired by those patients who became partners in their care and with the right support, education, and coaching were empowered to make lifestyle changes that resulted in improved health and happiness. After initiating a "Living Well with Diabetes" series of classes with a local culinary kitchen, where providers, patients, and family members participated in innovative disease management cooking classes, I was determined to bring the science and practice of lifestyle medicine to more people living with a chronic disease or aiming to prevent one. This was the starting point for my change in personal health, passion for lifestyle and functional medicine, and the turning point in my career in healthcare. I realize the important role that nurses serve as they speak the language of medicine, healing, and health. After reaching out to those who have personally or professionally inspired my own journey to improved health, our dynamite "The Point" team of experts was created! Experts in lifestyle and functional medicine, but equally as important, experts in pursuing adventure, sharing laughter, providing support, encouraging greatness, and helping others achieve their personal goals! When I am not spending time at "The Point" you can find me spending time with my family and friends, watching our daughters basketball and soccer games, hiking, camping and canoeing in the Boundary Waters, downhill skiing, spending time on our farm, playing pickleball, yoga, traveling, going to a music concert, cooking, or continuing to study all things related to health, fitness, nutrition, and functional/lifestyle medicine. Biggest life accomplishments - my 3 girls, living in small cabin in Fairbanks Alaska for 6 months, completing a triathlon, finishing the 3 day/60 mile breast cancer walk with 3 wonderful women, completing a 40 mile dogsled adventure in the Boundary Waters with my good friend Jen and 3 of our daughters, and helping my dad write and publish his autobiography. Next adventures and goals: Hiking up an active volcano in Guatemala and roasting a marshmallow over hot lava at the top!
