About this Business

This is a technology-driven personal training studio built on recurring memberships and real client results. In 2025, the business generated $454,882 in revenue and $152,492 in cash flow, continuing a clear upward trend. Clients stay, refer, and value the structured, data-driven approach that sets it apart from traditional gyms.
A trained team of 2 full-time and 2 part-time staff handle day-to-day sessions, creating a steady, reliable operation. Ownership focuses on oversight and performance, not constant hustle. The model is efficient, predictable, and already working.

Growth opportunities
Fitness is a $33 Billion Industry, yet many people feel left out. Look around boutique studios & big box health clubs, and you will find very few people among their membership aged 50+. These consumers control much of the disposable income in the U.S. & are a large and fast growing demographic. With 1 in 6 Americans projected to be over 60 by 2030, this studio caters to an increasing demographic that values health and longevity, offering scientifically-backed, efficient 20-minute workouts twice a week. The North Colorado Springs location is well positioned in an affluent, active market with strong demand for health and longevity services. Growth can come from re-engaging past clients, increasing membership, and building local partnerships. There is also a clear opportunity to increase revenue per client through one-on-one balance and stretch services. Additional territory expansion within Colorado Springs is also available.

About The Exercise Coach
The Exercise Coach is a boutique fitness franchise built around technology-driven strength training for the 45-and-older market. Founded in 2000 by Brian and Gerianne Cygan and franchising since 2011, the brand delivers two 20-minute, one-on-one sessions per week led by Certified Exercise Coaches rather than the crowded, high-intensity format of conventional gyms.
Each studio runs on Exerbotics, proprietary AI-assisted resistance equipment that personalises and tracks every workout, giving the brand an exclusive technology platform and protected territories. Studios are small and lean: typically around 1,000 square feet in Class A or B office, retail or medical space, staffed by three to five mostly part-time employees. The model suits both single-unit owner-operators and multi-unit developers.
The network has grown to more than 200 US studios plus locations in Japan and over 400 territories awarded, positioning it as the largest personal training chain in the United States. Its focus on an older, underserved demographic and a recurring membership base sets it apart from volume-led group fitness concepts.
Franchisee Support
Incoming owners complete the proprietary Exercise Coach certification, which combines online learning with 55 to 77 hours of classroom and hands-on instruction at corporate headquarters; no prior fitness experience is required. Ongoing support includes a dedicated business coach, KPI-driven business reviews, an industry-leading CRM for real-time studio management, corporate-led digital and print lead generation, and franchisee peer groups plus a manager mentor program. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and CRM and Exerbotics system access the franchisor provides to incoming owners and existing staff.
Brand Accolades & Awards
The Exercise Coach has ranked repeatedly on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 (across 2014–2016 and 2021–2023, including #137 in 2023) and continues to appear in recent editions. The brand is recognised as the largest personal training chain in the United States, has been named the #1 fastest-growing personal training franchise in America, and ranks among the top fitness franchises in North America. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific studio's local reviews, membership loyalty and community reputation.
Industry / Market
The US health and fitness club industry generates well over $30 billion in annual revenue, yet adults aged 50 and older remain underserved by conventional, high-intensity gyms. This demographic is among the fastest-growing in the country and controls a disproportionate share of discretionary spending; by 2030 roughly one in five Americans will be 65 or older. Demand for low-impact, time-efficient strength training tied to healthy aging continues to rise, and the membership model gives resale buyers useful visibility into recurring revenue.
Ideal Owner
The Exercise Coach suits relationship-driven operators who enjoy coaching, community building and motivating clients, particularly within the 45-plus demographic. No fitness or exercise-science background is required; the brand prioritises leadership, strong interpersonal skills, a genuine interest in health, and the discipline to follow proven systems. Single-unit owners are often hands-on in the studio alongside their team, while multi-unit developers take a more executive role managing staff, marketing and growth. A consultative, service-oriented sales approach helps convert and retain members.
