American's invest $16 billion dollars in sports nutrition & weight loss supplements a year and is growing 6 to 7% annually.  Needless to say, health and fitness is now a huge industry and shows every sign of continued growth.  A notable segment of the American public now understands the value of staying healthy and living longer and more productively.  We stand ready to help Americans achieve their goal!

Who constitutes our customer base?  90% are mostly normal everyday people who desire to get into shape.  Women now constitute 42% of that base.  The smaller 10% are people looking to build more muscle and do it well.  High school athletes needing to increase more muscle and endurance athletes of all ages come to us, looking to increase lean muscle mass and lose the fat.  Our products are highly nutritious, easily digestible, easy to take, flavorful and pack the needed punch!

This franchise opportunity is devoted exclusively to that market, through single unit, multi-unit or regional territories.  Our franchisees offer clients information, motivation, guidance, knowledge and supplemental products.  While this is a retail store operation, our hours are typically 10am to 6pm, low number of employees, wide margins, an upbeat, forward-thinking clientele and a chance to help people improve their own health and fitness. Our stores are low overhead and low maintenance with no food preparation!

Franchisees can own and operate one or more stores and owners can hire managers to create more passive involvement. Larger, regional territories are available for qualified candidates.

Our ideal candidate would be someone with a strong desire and willingness to build a successful retail business and a strong belief in health, fitness and nutrition.  Strong people skills are helpful as a willingness to market, network and promote business in the community is key.
 

Today more than ever, people know it's important to be fit.  Their challenge is squeezing exercise into busy lives.

This franchise opportunity provides the solution, bringing fast, convenient and affordable workouts into their neighborhoods - minutes from their doorstep - with your own compact, 24 hour state-of-the-art fitness center.

Fitness is in.  The percentage of people belonging to health clubs has doubled over the past 20 years.  More growth is expected, fueled by an aging Baby Boomer generation in search of eternal youth and the reality that regular exercise can prevent or control diseases that are driving health care cost relentlessly upward.

Economically, the industry has proven to be recession-proof, averaging an 8% annual growth rate since the early 1990's.  The health club industry's fastest-growing segment is the so-called 24 hour express fitness segment - and we are the segment's growth-rate leader.

Our concept enables you to offer the same quality equipment and workout experience offered in traditional 'big box' health clubs - but without the crowded parking lots, long waiting lines and inflated monthly dues.  Our member-friendly policies lead the industry - we do not require contracts: members pay month-to-month and may freeze their memberships when not using them.

Role of Franchisee:
This business model is developed and designed for the 'hands-off' franchisee. (10-15 hours).  75% of all owners continue jobs or careers they were in before ownership. Most franchisees start with 3 or 6 club developments, with stores run by one full-time manager. Our franchisees are attracted to the freedom and flexibility that the manager run business provides with few employees.

Have you ever wanted to own your own business? Is your company downsizing? Do you dread Monday morning and going to work at a job you are less than happy with?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time to consider starting your own business. Franchising might be the easiest way for you to do that.

Franchising can offer you training, on - going support and a proven, successful way to manage your business.

With franchising you do not need to have a 10 - 15 year background in whatever category you decide to pursue.
