About this Business
Growth opportunities
This business is need of a leader who can devote time in the studio leading the team. We have a baseline of 75 clients which puts the business at break even. The biggest opportunity for me has been having time to really promote the business in the community. I have a full-time job as a restaurant area manager & do not have the time to do this. The clients love the coaches and 3/4 have been with me for a while. Someone who has time to join the chamber and perform other marketing strategies would be perfect to grow this business.

With an average initial investment ranging from $129,983 to $351,785, it offers a low-cost, high-return business model in the competitive fitness industry.
Each studio is designed to be small and private, typically between 800 to 1,200 square feet, providing a comfortable and focused workout environment.

Ideal Owner
The ideal franchisee is a health-conscious individual with a passion for personal training and helping others achieve their fitness goals. They should be customer-oriented, empathetic, and capable of providing personalized training programs. A background in exercise science, personal training, or healthcare is advantageous, along with strong communication skills to motivate and support clients.
