Leon Rudge appointed as new Myzone global head of product

Myzone is excited to announce that fitness innovation and technology expert, Leon Rudge, is joining the team as global head of product, in a move set to add over a decade of experience that benefits customers and end users alike.

With a foundational focus on supporting gyms using wearable tech that increases member engagement, Leon’s years in the fitness industry position him perfectly to align customer needs and Myzone’s strategic roadmap to drive continual growth.

“I'm really excited to be joining Myzone and working alongside incredible talent with an awesome product,” explains Leon. “I have fond memories of travelling to IHRSA 2011, sitting next to the team as they got ready to launch.

“Over the years, I've loved watching the product evolve, the business grow, and it really is humbling to become part of it. The company has some exciting plans, and I'm looking forward to rolling my sleeves up and helping with the next Myzone chapter.”

Leon joins Myzone after eight years on the front line of innovation for Life Fitness, progressing through positions of technology solutions manager and director of digital experience internationally. In addition, his four years on the IHRSA Innovation and Technology Advisory Council means that Myzone is now even better equipped to improve the process of tech adoption that gets more people, more physically active, more often around the world.

“There are few in the industry that have such an in-depth experience and knowledge of technology in the industry as Leon,” says Myzone founder and CEO, Dave Wright. “Having personally known and respected Leon for over a decade, we could not think of a more qualified expert to help drive Myzone to the next chapter of our product journey.”
