South Florida is Getting Fit With Koko Fitclub!

Posted on May 04, 2011 by Stephan Baldwin

KoKo FitClub and their spa-like clubs are revolutionizing the fitness franchise industry. Their Koko Smartraining System uses excellent exercise technology in a groundbreaking fashion. They are now moving south to sunnier territories, Coral SpringsParkland, Florida. This will be their newest addition to the almost 40 clubs they currently have.

Amy and Rob Sottile are the newest franchisees to join Koko’s team with their new club in Coral Springs. The Sottile’s are locals in the area and very involved in the local community. They are looking forward to helping their friends, family, and neighbors lead healthier lives. Previously they have run a children’s fitness franchise for 10 successful years. Through this franchise they helped thousands of local children take the next step towards a healthier life. As if this wasn’t amazing enough, Amy is also a certified professional birth coach also known as a doula. Says Amy, "We want to help people, and that’s what Koko is all about. Helping people be healthier."

The Sottiles found Koko to be a much better fit for them than their previous franchising business. According to Amy, "if we weren’t at our old business, then it wasn’t running the way we wanted it to run." Staffing their previous business was difficult as"good help is hard to come by." This didn’t always create the greatest experience for their customers. Rob says,"we found people enrolling their kids based on who was teaching, and more often than not, Amy and I were the preferred instructors." Koko is different, Amy explains,"we are here, building our business and making people feel welcome, but it isn’t us or our staff that people come for. They come because they love the Koko Smartraining System."

Mary Obana, President and Co-Founder of KoKo FitClub, says of Koko’s first Florida developers, "Rob and Amy have solid franchising experience combined with a passion and enthusiasm for improving the well-being of their community- for years they have made it a personal and professional priority. I can’t imagine any two people better suited to introduce Koko FitClub to Florida. That mix of business know-how and altruism is going to make a huge, positive impact on the health of their community."
