| I was in the Fitness Industry as a Franchisee for close to 5 years. The Fitness Industry is certainly in flux right now. The old Health Club Business Model (bodybuilders and club diva's) is a dying breed. User friendly clubs are now, and will be the standard for years to come. What you will need to consider will be the startup costs, and the total square footage requirement for your facility. This will be critical. Health Clubs are very capital intensive, the more square footage you have the more equipment you will need, along with higher rent. A quick summation: 1) Figure out which business model you believe in. 2) Figure out what your capital requirements will be, and if you can afford it. 3) Find a Franchise that will meet these two issues.

| I always advise anyone considering a franchise, to use the services of an experienced franchise advisor. Reputable advisors consider your personal & financial goals, strengths & capabilities to help you determine which franchise might be the best match. Representing hundreds of different models allows us to be open minded and non-biased. This is a no cost service, so you have nothing to lose. Diana Hutcherson Franchise Advisor, 877-264-7619

| You could speak with Kevin Thompson president of Innovative Franchise Systems in New Jersey. He has a great lead on a new fitness center franchise that is just starting. One of the great benefits of a new franchise is the support and personal attention at the ground level versus franchises that are already dealing with hundreds of locations. You can contact Kevin Thompson at 1-201-962-7198 (cell) or 1-212-807-4168 (office) to find out more information about this ground level opportunity.

Does anyone have the correct number to contact Kevin Thompson? The cellphone number provided is not in service & the office number is incorrect. Thanks!

Or you can also consult with any legal and reputed franchise consultants. An experienced franchise consultants will always help you in correct direction and in very low money. In this way you can have more profit in less investment. Try my suggestion at least once.
