Magazine has overseen Blink\u2019s expansion of its company-owned locations from four to 37 and has led the development of the brand\u2019s franchising initiative, which launched in June 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Magazine joined Equinox, which created Blink Fitness, in 2012 as the Executive Vice President of New Businesses, where he focused on accelerating growth strategies for the company\u2019s new brands such as Blink. Prior to joining Equinox, Magazine held leadership roles at several world-renowned companies, including serving as President of Gatorade, Quaker Foods and Pfizer\u2019s OTC business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTodd has been a fundamental force in the development and ongoing success of Blink Fitness,\u201d said Harvey Spevak, CEO of Equinox. \u201cThe company\u2019s impressive expansion in such a short amount of time is a direct reflection of his tremendous business experience and leadership skills. Todd has spearheaded the development of Blink\u2019s recently launched franchising initiative, positioning the brand for immense nationwide growth and offering entrepreneurs throughout the country a chance to join this successful business model. We have no doubt that Todd will continue to propel Blink to the next level as a leader in the value-based fitness industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blink is known for its signature Mood Above Muscle\u2122 philosophy, which believes that exercise isn\u2019t just about looking good, it\u2019s also about how it makes you feel.  Blink\u2019s Feel Good Experience\u2122 brings this philosophy to life through five key pillars that differentiate Blink from all other fitness clubs: their associates, known as Mood Lifters\u2122, greet everyone with enthusiasm and treat them with respect; they have an Everyone Cleans philosophy, so their gyms are always spotless; their inspiring gym design is colorful, bright and open; they specifically select energizing music that motivates; and they have training programs designed to boost confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Blink is seeking multi- and single-unit operators with business, management and\/or marketing experience. Multi-unit investment groups and franchise candidates should have a commitment to exceptional customer service, as well as a minimum net worth of $1,500,000 and liquid assets of at least $300,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>NEW YORK, N.Y.<\/strong> &#8211; Blink Fitness, a premium quality, value-based fitness club, announced the promotion of Todd Magazine to President.
