Fitness franchises gaining popularity

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Franchise Gator Admin

One of the hottest trends to hit the world of franchising in recent years is personal training facilities.

With more people than ever trying to get into shape, ambitious entrepreneurs have been jumping on the national bandwagon and reaping the benefits. One person who has found success in the field is Jason Baer, who recently successfully franchised several workout facilities. The New Cannan Advertiser reports that Baer has been able to take advantage of busy professionals who are also interested in staying in shape.

"If you want to look back over the next five years, how much more successful were you by working with a personal trainer as opposed to spending maybe half the cost and not getting anywhere with your program and not getting any healthier," Baer said in an interview with the news source. "Our passion is in developing and implementing an individual program that our clients can do successfully, consistently and feel good about themselves."

One of the fastest growing franchises is KoKo FitClub. The franchise recently announced plans to expand to one of the most high-tech friendly cities in California, Silicon Valley. The franchisees, Jeff and Elaine Mossner, are set to open the facility in 2011.
