Founders
In 2006, two men decided to create a fitness competition series of their own. They had no idea a few years after beginning, the production would evolve into the world’s first ever entrepreneurial and entertainment career development production for fitness and sports professionals. Here are the Founders of Fitness and Sports Network’s FMI.

Clark Bartram
Co-Founder
Clark Bartram is arguably one of the most successful fitness models of all time with a career spanning more than twenty years, over 100 covers, television shows, branded products featuring his name and likeness, movies, endorsement deals and much more.
Fueled by passion and a desire to help people achieve success, in an industry that has been so good to him, Clark helped created what is known today as FMI and has helped launch many well known names in our industry over the past several years.
His book, You Too Can Be A Fitness Model, is the first and only book of it’s kind and many successful models of today often site it one of the keys to their success and give it credit for helping them stay motivated when they felt like “throwing in the towel” and getting a “real job”.
Once you get around Clark you’ll quickly come to understand really does want to help and he does go out of his way to guide people in the right direction. Clark’s raw approach and candor can sometimes be intimidating but his intentions are pure…you can ask anyone who has ever helped. They’ll tell you that Clark really wants the best for everyone he meets!
“I love what I do and really want to see people succeed and sometimes I need to be brutally honest to help people understand the truth behind what it takes to make it in this industry. I know what I’m doing, and I know a lot of other who do as well, Gary is amazing at what he does and that is why FMI works.”
