Words of Advice for Launching your own Fitness Franchise
Starting your own business is a great way to get more control over your earnings AND your lifestyle, but what are the potential pitfalls to look out for when taking the big leap?
What to Go For?
First, if you are starting a business, it should be in something that you have a passion for, and that is where fitness is a big winner. Being in the business of helping people become healthier and happier is a great thing and it is one thing that our sector has above lots of other businesses. It will get you through the hard times and make the highs much higher. So that is first on the list:
Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.”
-Jon Bon Jovi
Support & Set up
Let’s move forward to the next potential pitfall that can drag you down. Do you have some support around you? It could be your parents, best friend or partner, it does not matter but it does matter that someone is interested in what you are doing and why you are doing it., it will help drive you onward.
If you know what kind of business you want and have some more support, you can now look at what sort of set up you want. In fitness there are lots of gyms, studios, personal training, wellness offerings that you can look at but consider your available funds, how much risk you want and how much time you have to put into it. Many people don’t pu enough though into these factors and really take time to examine them – please do.
One of the great things about a franchise is a lot of the preparation is done for you – product is ready, operational systems are ready and launch plan is ready. You also have additional back up from the franchise team itself, and they will be experts in their field. So, you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Costs & Risk
Another plus point for RISE is the amount of £ investment required at the start and the time to run the operation compared with lots of other franchises.
RISE Fitness franchising specialises in outdoor bootcamps but with a difference! Our outdoor setting means accommodation cost can either be zero or very low compared with paying high street rent. The equipment required for launch is in line with stat up numbers and then builds up as your numbers build. That means your cash can be spent on the important job of marketing your business in the local area and this will help reduce your risk.
Time
The program for RISE franchise is that you concentrate on 2 face to face sessions per week for your cohorts and then the rest of the support is provided online. This means that your time can be scheduled, and you can say goodbye to those super early starts and late finishes with dead time in between that plagues pure personal training businesses.
Local is another way that you save on time, it means your travel time is low and so is your members, this is good for everybody and is time efficient. This means you have more control over your work/life balance.
Tech Partners Help Create Success
Our key partners, Myzone and Virtuagym, means we bring the best tech together to provide a highly personalised members journey that gets them results and keeps them engaged. Your outdoor bootcamps come with heart rate monitoring, activity targets, online nutrition plans and a full digital workout library.
Let’s summarise how RISE can help put you on the right path:
- A positive and on trend industry
