CEO at Mad Dogg Athletics, Inc.
📍 Santa Monica, California, United States

John Baudhuin is the CEO and co-founder of Mad Dogg Athletics, the company that created the global fitness phenomenon, Spinning®. With a background as a CPA and an MBA from Loyola Marymount University, he transformed a garage-built exercise bike into a worldwide brand that has trained over 300, 000 instructors in more than 80 countries.

Outside of his corporate role, John is an avid cyclist. His passion for the sport was the catalyst for the business, as he was a weekend bike racer looking for a more effective way to train indoors. This personal interest in cycling directly fueled his entrepreneurial journey and the creation of the first Spinner® bike.

Interesting fact: John and his partner, Johnny G, started their company by building the first Spinner® bikes in a garage to help Johnny train for the Race Across America.
