“We are very proud of what Meridian has accomplished to date and also very excited about our future prospects,” Chuck Grieve, Meridian CEO, said in a statement. “Praesidian understands our business, and this gives me great confidence that they are the ideal partner to help us continue our growth.”
Of the 12 Bodies in Motion clubs that Meridian owns, 11 are in California and one is in Hawaii. Meridian also manages 12 other clubs.
“This is a business with a resilient and stable revenue base,” Jason Drattell, managing partner at Praesidian, said in a statement. “We are very pleased to be working closely with this proven management team, which has consistently grown in sales, both organically and through acquisitions, while effectively managing costs.”
