About The Guest
Matt Hesse
Performix CEO Matt Hesse didn’t start out as a successful person. Matt had a rough childhood which almost led him down the wrong path in life. A decision was made to join the US military (Army) and changed Matt’s life forever.
When Matt finished his assignment with the Army, he opened up several GNC franchise locations. His locations were very successful. Matt saw an opportunity to make a difference in the industry through disruptive technology and created Performix.
During his time at Performix CEO, Matt found a larger purpose in life, helping US veterans find their purpose through fitness. Matt founded the non-profit organization the FitOps Foundation to help our US military men and women transition back into civilization by providing them the tools to have a career in fitness.
Matt is also pioneering the Performix House movement, high-end fitness clubs located in major US cities. There is currently a Performix House in New York City and one set to open in Los Angelas.
