DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — The South Florida Business Journal has selected Youfit Health Clubs Chief Operating Officer J.J. Creegan as a 2017 “40 Under 40” award recipient. South Florida Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 program recognizes outstanding executives under the age of 40 who have a significant impact in their field of expertise, their community and at their companies. This year’s honorees were selected from hundreds of nominations and represent some the region’s most entrepreneurial and influential young leaders in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
“The entire Youfit family is joining me in celebrating J.J. and this prestigious honor,” says Rick Berks, Founder and CEO of Youfit Health Clubs. “I have witnessed him first-hand develop as a professional and he has truly been an integral part of growing this company. His genuine passion for helping people feel better and live better is seen and felt throughout the Youfit brand.”
Creegan began his Youfit career when he was just 15 years old, working as a part-time employee.

Reflecting on his early Youfit experience and his educational background, Creegan created many of the systems and services that exist in the company today.
