Derek Gallup, the chair of IHRSA’s board of directors, began his career in 1992 as a designer handbag buyer for Macy’s in Hawaii, and has been immersed in retail ever since—for Gold’s Gym Hawaii, 24 Hour Fitness, and, since 2009, with New Evolution Ventures (NeV), the multi-brand private-equity firm. What he doesn’t know about club retailing … isn’t worth knowing.
“IHRSA’s mission is to reverse the global physical inactivity epidemic.… The IHRSA community and the international fitness industry have embraced this issue wholeheartedly.”
