Xponential Fitness has today announced the appointment of Mike Nuzzo as CEO, effective immediately.

Mark King, who announced his retirement for health reasons in May has resigned as both CEO and director of the company.

Nuzzo has more than 25 years’ experience leading consumer retail and service businesses, with a proven track record of driving scalable growth and expanding into new, high-potential markets. Most recently, he served as CEO at Eyemart Express, where he reinvigorated the business leading to its successful acquisition by VSP Vision in January 2025.

Prior to that he was chief financial officer and then chief operating officer at Petco, and formerly held senior leadership roles at 4moms, General Nutrition Centers and Abercrombie and Fitch. He is also on the board of directors for KinderCare Learning Companies and Fleet Farm and holds an MBA in finance and accounting from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a BS in Economics from Kenyon College.

“I’m honoured to join Xponential Fitness at such a pivotal time in the company’s growth journey,” said Nuzzo. “With a strong portfolio of brands and a clear commitment to becoming the franchisor of choice, Xponential is well-positioned to expand its footprint across both US and international markets. I’m excited to build on this momentum and deliver meaningful value for our franchisees, members, and stakeholders.”

Chair of Xponential Fitness, Mark Grabowski, says: “The board is confident in Mike’s proven track record of operational excellence and strategic leadership, having delivered results across some of the most recognised names in the consumer services industry, with a strong track record across strategic, operational, financial and growth-driving disciplines.

“Mike’s experience scaling businesses and driving innovation, both domestically and internationally, makes him the ideal choice to lead Xponential. We’re excited about the future and thank Mr King for his impactful contributions as CEO.”

Q2 results will be released later today.
