Jim Rowley knows uphill climbs—and which battles are worth fighting.
He’s been in the fitness industry for over 30 years, and has spent over a decade at the helm of gym chain Crunch Fitness, which operates over 400 locations. But that’s not where he learned his leadership chops. Rowley doesn’t have a college degree; at 18, he entered the U.S. Marines, where he served for eight years, including on a combat tour during the Persian Gulf War.
