"At ISSA, we believe healthier living improves lives," said Andrew Wyant, CEO of ISSA. "Healthier living begins with education. Changing the world comes from applying that education to putting healthier living in action. We are grateful to all the certified personal trainers and nearly 500,000 people we've trained to improve their lives and the lives of others."

"This year's Inc. 5000 Regional winners represent one of the most exceptional and exciting lists of America's off-the-charts growth companies.
