2024 Miracle Maker Award Honors Fitness Leader’s Expanding Impact on Education and Community Support
Anthony Geisler, renowned fitness entrepreneur and philanthropist, was presented with the prestigious 2024 Miracle Maker Award at the Miracles for Kids’ Night of Miracles Gala, highlighting his ongoing commitment to charitable causes across California. The award ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach on October 12 recognized Geisler’s sustained support for families facing the challenges of caring for critically ill children.
“As a proud father, I’ve been honored to work with Miracles for Kids to help make miracles come true for families who are dealing with the unimaginable,” said Geisler during his acceptance speech. “It’s a privilege to be named this year’s Miracle Maker, and I look forward to continuing to support Miracles for Kids’ essential mission to empower families with critically ill children to focus on what matters most—their kids’ health.”
The gala marked the organization’s 20th anniversary and featured an exceptional performance by GRAMMY Award-winning artist Babyface. The sold-out event raised funds for Miracles for Kids programs, which provide crucial support to families navigating financial hardships, homelessness, and depression while fighting for their children’s lives.
Geisler’s philanthropic efforts extend beyond his work with Miracles for Kids. In August 2024, he and his family unveiled the Geisler Family Wings building at The Pegasus School in Huntington Beach, California. This state-of-the-art multipurpose library facility represents a significant investment in educational infrastructure, featuring small group study rooms, additional instructional spaces, and innovative learning environments for students from pre-K through eighth grade.
“Our family is proud to contribute to a space where children can grow, learn, and explore their potential,” Geisler said of the project. “This is more than just a building—it’s a commitment to the future of our children and the community.”
Anthony Geisler’s business acumen matches the entrepreneur’s dedication to community support. As the founder of Xponential Fitness, Geisler built the world’s most extensive fitness and wellness franchisor, acquiring and growing brands, including Club Pilates, StretchLab, and Pure Barre, into global household names. Earlier this year, Geisler stepped down as CEO of Xponential, signaling new opportunities on the horizon.
Looking ahead, Geisler remains committed to both business innovation and philanthropic causes. He continues to support various nonprofit organizations throughout California, including the Navy SEAL Foundation while exploring new opportunities in the fitness and wellness technology sector.
The combination of the Miracle Maker Award and the opening of the Geisler Family Wings building underscores a transformative year for Geisler’s philanthropic mission, demonstrating his commitment to supporting both immediate community needs and long-term educational development.
