Background

About Travis Desisso

I am a strategic executive leader with a passion for driving business growth, developing high-performance teams, and redefining the future of fitness and wellness. With over 15 years of experience leading multi-unit operations, I have built, scaled, and transformed organizations by integrating innovative strategies, talent development, and data-driven decision-making. As Vice President of Personal Training at Equinox, I have led national initiatives that elevated revenue performance, expanded service offerings, and enhanced the luxury coaching experience. From spearheading post-pandemic business recovery to launching new coaching models, GLP-1 integration, and digital product innovations, I thrive in environments that demand agility, vision, and execution at the highest level. My work in brand repositioning, talent acquisition strategy, and consumer engagement has shaped industry-leading best practices. A former collegiate and professional athlete, I bring a competitor’s mindset to leadership—balancing performance, discipline, and strategic execution. These experiences helped shape my approach to coaching, team development, and high-performance environments. I apply these principles to building winning teams, mentoring emerging leaders, and creating sustainable business growth. Beyond corporate leadership, I am passionate about coaching, mentorship, and youth sports development. I have spent over a decade advising fitness startups, guiding emerging leaders, and creating opportunities for growth at every level. My commitment to innovation and impact extends beyond the boardroom. I welcome conversations about business growth, leadership development, and the evolving wellness space. Let’s connect.
