In the world of health and fitness, there’s a common thread connecting every class, training session, and transformation story: the coach. Behind every success is someone who showed up, stood strong, and led with heart. This year, Coach360 is rolling out the red carpet for those exceptional individuals with the launch of the Coach of the Year Awards, and FitFixNow is proud to help spread the word.
If you’re a coach who pours everything into your clients—or if you know someone whose impact deserves the spotlight—this is your moment.
Why This Matters
The Coach360 Coach of the Year Awards are more than just a title. They’re a chance to recognize the real heroes of the fitness industry, celebrate their stories, and elevate them in front of the entire health and wellness community. Whether someone is just starting out or has decades of experience under their belt, this award honors coaches at every level who are truly making a difference.
There are three award categories, designed to spotlight different kinds of leadership and innovation:
- Rising Star – For the up-and-coming coach whose passion and potential are lighting a path forward.
- Fitness Visionary – For those who see the future of fitness and are shaping it today through innovation, leadership, or education.
- Holistic Hero – For the coach who brings the whole picture into view—body, mind, and spirit—creating wellness that goes deeper than the workout.
What You Win
Winning Coach of the Year means more than bragging rights—it comes with serious perks:
- Recognition at the Coach360 Networking Social and Industry Impact Awards, hosted during the 2025 Health and Fitness Association Show.

Let’s Celebrate What Coaching Can Be
Coaches don’t always get the recognition they deserve. The long hours, the behind-the-scenes planning, the extra texts sent to clients at just the right moment—all of it adds up to something powerful. These awards are a way to say: we see you, we appreciate you, and we want the world to know what you’re doing.
As a FitFixNow customer, you're already committed to growing and evolving in this profession. The Coach of the Year Awards offer a platform to take that one step further—to celebrate not just what you do, but who you are.
