Business for Sale Overview:
The American health club industry has changed the face of exercise from an obnoxious task to an pleasurable social activity. Health clubs are meeting the challenge by changing from the muscle head stereotype of the past to specialized facilities that offer a wide variety of amenities. Today's fitness centers are likely to cater a special demographic (teens, women-only, families, seniors, people in rehabilitation and arthritis suffers) and to offer a comprehensive approach to wellness: fitness, nutrition, weight-loss, stress-reduction and nutritional supplements.
Obesity statistics indicate 78% of American's are not meeting basic activity level recommendations and 25% are completely Sedentary. Many overweight and obese people want to lose weight but just don’t know how….these health clubs teach people new eating habits, offer healthy exercise programs and help people to build self esteem.
This Franchisor is a combination of nine health clubs/spas ranging from a cross training club which specializes in a program that combines strength training, boxing and martial arts in a compressed 20 minute circuit to the ultra luxurious women’s fitness club and spa which features a variety of equipment, spa treatments, child care and nutritional and weight management programs for women only. A master franchisor can pick as few or as many as they choose to complete their boutique of clubs.
Targeted customer type: Women between the ages of 24-65 with an average weight loss need of 25-50lbs. Men between the ages of 24-65 with an average weight loss of 24-50lbs. Does not cater to the “muscle head” type. Overall someone who wants to stay in good health.
Low membership fees, 24 hour access in some cases, childcare and nutritional training all add up to a bargain for families bent on improving their health. Some of the clubs are co-ed while some are women only.. Women only clubs offer programs specifically designed for women and in one case offer a full service spa.

Market Competition and Expansion:
A new area of the health club industry is the safe and effective exercise programs for the more than 40 million Americans whose lives are affected by arthritis. These programs have already become immensely successful in clubs that have developed the programs and energetically promoted them. In addition, many hospitals and physicians have already formed alliances and partnerships with industry- leading fitness and wellness centers to provide Stage 3 and Stage 4 programs for patients recovering from heart disease. These programs involve administering individualized exercise protocols and monitoring each patient's physiological and psychological progress. Once again, these club-based programs are increasingly common in all parts of the U.S., and are especially well-regarded by everyone involved- most of all, by the patients themselves.
