History

Mark Fisher Fitness began as a personal training business entity. Fisher began using the name Mark Fisher Fitness in the fall of 2010 with the launch of a newsletter, but the business did not become a corporate entity until May 2011. In June 2011, co-owner Michael Keeler joined Fisher as a business partner. Current head trainer Kyle Langworthy was hired to offer part-time training and Brian Patrick Murphy was hired to help teach classes.

The business began with a program called Snatched in Six Weeks, a six-week makeover program involving exercise classes and nutritional guidance. The classes took place in a rehearsal space in Roy Arias studios in Midtown Manhattan. The Snatched in Six Weeks program grew, and by January 2012 MFF opened their first "clubhouse" in Hell's Kitchen.

MFF currently has a membership training staff of 15, many who are certified RKC and SFG trainers. Within the first five years of opening, MFF membership increased tenfold and in 2015 MFF was named as one of Inc. magazine's 500 fastest growing companies in America.
