About Anthony
Anthony Hughes is the visionary investor and owner behind Valkyrie Society , a bold venture rooted in the belief that women deserve a space entirely their own — a place to grow stronger, push harder, and stand taller together.
Anthony's journey to founding Valkyrie Society was not just a business decision — it was a commitment. When he first encountered the vision of Chelsy, a passionate fitness advocate who had long dreamed of building an all-women's gym, he saw something rare: a purpose-driven dream backed by an unshakeable conviction. Anthony didn't hesitate. He stepped in as investor and partner, dedicating his resources and leadership to turning the Chelsy Dream into reality.
Anthony believes that the best investments aren't measured solely in returns — they're measured in lives changed. He saw in Chelsy's vision the potential to create a sanctuary where women of every background, fitness level, and story could walk through the door and feel seen, safe, and unstoppable.
As owner of Valkyrie Society, Anthony has taken an active role in shaping the gym's identity — one that honors women's strength in every sense. Named after the fierce, fearless warrior women of Norse legend, Valkyrie Society carries the spirit of those who choose who rises. Under Anthony's ownership, it has become more than a gym: it's a movement.
His partnership with Chelsy stands as a testament to what happens when belief meets ambition. Anthony brought the capital and the conviction; Chelsy brought the dream and the drive. Together, they built something the fitness world rarely sees — a space truly for women, by design, by intention, and by heart.
"Some investments make you money. The best ones make you proud. Valkyrie Society is both — and I believed in Chelsy's dream from the very first moment she shared it."
