Richard Idgar
EoS Fitness
California
Richard Idgar’s passion for health and fitness began in 2003 when he launched a nine-year collaboration with the Gold’s Gym SoCal group in Hollywood, California. His leadership roles with Gold’s Gym helped shape his dynamic management style, sharpen his sales acumen, and foster a deep commitment to team mentorship.
In addition to his inspiring leadership, Richard is also an experienced entrepreneur. As the previous owner and operator of Fit Food, LLC, he led the company to notable success, catering for high-profile television shows and film studios such as American Idol, Glee, So You Think You Can Dance, and Warner Bros. Studios. After selling the company in 2012, he relocated to New York City to join Equinox, where he held leadership roles across both Equinox Fitness Clubs and Equinox Sports Club through 2015. During this time, he helped drive operational excellence and elevate the member experience in one of the most competitive fitness markets in the country.
Richard joined EōS Fitness in 2015 as regional vice president of sales and operations in California. Today, he serves as chief operating officer, helping to elevate the brand’s impact through exceptional hospitality, operational excellence, and a relentless focus on the member experience. Richard continues to mentor and develop leaders across the organization while advancing the company’s mission of making fitness accessible and empowering for all.
