Prospect Hill, a Boston-area private equity firm, focuses on operational value creation in middle-market growth companies. In 2024, Fitness Ventures was acquired by Meaningful Partners, a firm with offices in Los Angeles, CA, and Austin, TX, that invests in purposeful consumer businesses.

At CRUNCH there is a premium placed on individuality because we recognize that there is no one type, no one way and no one goal.

As an organization, Fitness Ventures has established a culture that is focused on providing a member experience that is second to none—but just as importantly we focus on ensuring that our team members are provided a work environment where they can be successful. Our team members are charged with making a difference in that members life every day.
