Andrew Wyant Returns as CEO of International Sports Sciences Association
Andrew Wyant has resumed his role as CEO of the International Sports Sciences Association, effective immediately. Returning to the helm of the fitness education provider, Wyant aims to bridge the widening gap between certification and workforce readiness as the industry faces a significant deficit of qualified personal trainers.
Despite this growth, gym operators struggle to find talent capable of managing client acquisition and retention from their first day on the floor. Major industry players, including Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness, are currently seeking thousands of coaches globally. Wyant intends to pivot the company’s focus toward these practical skill gaps, emphasizing that modern trainers must master both exercise science and the business of human connection. His immediate agenda includes accelerating student graduation rates, expanding the reach of the Career Connect platform, and integrating AI tools into the curriculum to reflect current professional standards.
