Athletech News celebrated a significant moment for the fitness and wellness industry by ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq on January 4, 2024. The event was attended by executives and influencers from prominent brands and organizations, including Crunch, Equinox, Hydrow, Zumba, IHRSA, Xponential, Les Mills, Pvolve, NYSC, Restore Hyper Wellness, Tracy Anderson, Exos, Mindbody, InsideTracker, FlexIt, and NASM, among others.
The Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square hosted the landmark event, symbolizing the recognition of the fitness and wellness sector’s importance and influence. Athletech News, as a platform, aims to provide insights and shape agendas for fitness and wellness executives in an ever-evolving and fast-paced industry.
Kristina Ayanian, Nasdaq listing host, highlighted Athletech News’ role in informing leaders with proprietary content and analysis crucial for making informed business decisions.

Hertzman positioned Athletech News as more than a news outlet, describing it as a platform delivering cutting-edge insights, trends, and stories to propel the fitness and wellness industry forward.
