Tom Hatten, Founder & Chairman of the Board

Mountainside Fitness

With $2,000 and a dream to own a fitness center, 21-year-old college dropout, Tom Hatten, founded Mountainside Fitness in 1991. As Arizona's premier and privately-owned health club chain, Mountainside Fitness currently operates 20 locations with 1,400 employees & 110,000 active members. In 2021, MSF was ranked the 14^th largest health club chain in the United States thanks to Tom’s dream, entrepreneurial spirit, and leadership.

Tom has been featured on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine, US News & World Report, Forbes Magazine, Club Industry Magazine, and Arizona Republic. And in 2021, Tom was featured on AZ Newsmakers, CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, Telemundo, BBC and KTAR News. He’s a regular speaker at Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business as well as the University of Arizona Eller Business College, offering his thoughts to our next business leaders.

Tom’s involvement in the community includes serving as a board member of Special Olympics of AZ, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, and a former Chairman for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona. Tom is a member of Greater Phoenix Leadership, which serves to collaborate on initiatives critical to the economic prosperity for all Arizonians. Furthermore, Tom takes a stand on matters important to our state and serves our community in many other unseen areas.

Tom’s 2018 memoir, “Dream On”, was the number one best seller on Amazon’s Biographies of Business Professionals and Business Biographies and History and is well worth a read and those attending will receive a copy of the book!

We are excited for the opportunity to hear Tom’s inspiring story on how he discovered his own hidden strengths on November 3, 2022 and look forward to seeing you there.

We extend our gratitude to AzBL's Chairman & Presenting Partner BDO
