Perspective: Reflections of Industry Leaders (Network – Autumn 2017)
I’m committed to people first. Without the people component of our fitness equation, nothing else matters. As technologies continue to emerge, develop, and disrupt, one thing that becomes more and more apparent to me to focus on is the dynamics that will not change in our industry.

Bill McBride is a health club industry veteran. He has worked in all aspects of sales, marketing, leadership, management, member experience and operations. He currently serves as the Co-Founder, President & CEO of Active Sports Clubs/Active Wellness. He also is the Founder, President & CEO of BMC3. He has served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for IHRSA and MACMA (Mid-Atlantic Club Management Association), been a Board Member on ACE’s Industry Advisory Panel, Club Business Pro’s Advisory Panel, The Wellness Health Education Advisory Board and was a contributing faculty member of Club Success Magazine.
Bill is one of the most forward thinking leaders in the health club industry today. More importantly, he is a caring and dynamic leader who goes out of his way repeatedly to help people . His personal integrity, knowledge and influence make him a special individual and therefore he has my highest recommendation.
