Athletech News was founded by Edward Hertzman, a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in supply chain management and media. After successfully launching and selling Sourcing Journal to Penske Media Group, Hertzman recognized a gap in the fitness and wellness industry. Unlike other sectors, fitness lacked a dedicated, comprehensive platform that could serve as the go-to source for industry news, trends and insights. This realization sparked the creation of Athletech News.
Hertzman launched a fitness and wellness content platform to fill the void. What began as a modest website quickly gained traction, attracting industry professionals and enthusiasts alike. This growing interest spurred the creation of original, proprietary content, transforming the site into a leading voice in the fitness and wellness industry.
Today, Athletech News boasts a subscriber base of over 80,000, with traffic steadily climbing as more people turn to the site for its in-depth coverage and expert analysis. The company remains committed to editorial excellence, with a focus on delivering high-quality, organic content that informs, engages and inspires.
