Bodystreet makes gains in the fitness industry

The fitness franchise’s strong training and support for its franchisees is shaking up the fitness world for the better.

Bodystreet is marketed as a unique way of getting fit quick for those who have little time for the gym. Its German operations won the title of Franchisor of the year in Germany, so interested investors can feel secure in the knowledge that their money will secure a good return.

Franchisees who are interested in this opportunity can expect to be as hands-on or as hands-off as they like - by either training clients directly or managing a team of trainers to do so.

Investing in the fitness franchise is also more affordable than you may think. At £80,000, this is a lot more affordable than many other businesses in the fitness franchise industry. Each territory’s small premises of 1,000 square feet eliminates many of the challenges that come with finding the perfect location for your business.

Franchisees need not have a personal training qualification, but it’s important that they’re passionate about health and fitness, as well as priding themselves on offering quality customer service.

Bodystreet is consistently there to support its franchisees, not only with sourcing estate for their business, but also in training them for the role. Anyone who starts their own franchise with Bodystreet will receive classroom training for the theory behind running their own franchise. They’ll then apply this during the hands-on training stage, working in a studio and delivering sessions to clients to fully ensure you understand the objectives of the business and what it takes for them to be delivered.

“Bodystreet’s Training Academy provides a host of courses, seminars and conferences for you to develop and hone skills throughout your career,” confirms Managing Director Mark Holland.

As well as comprehensive training and support, once you start your own business an area manager will visit your location regularly to coach you and ensure you’re on track to reach your business goals.

Holland also encourages franchisees to think about why they want to invest in the brand and if Bodystreet will allow them to reach the business goals they have in mind – there’s no point in doing something you don’t truly enjoy when it comes to a lifelong investment.

He also explains how he hopes the franchise will help tackle the steadily increasing rates of obesity with its 20-minute fat-blasting classes, perfect for those with a packed working or family-life schedule. Another goal for the franchise is to help recruit more young people starting off in the industry as trainers and provide them with appropriate training and supervision to really help them thrive in their career.

With over 300 franchises in Germany, Holland sees huge opportunity for the UK’s business to reach the same level of franchise success. There is plenty of opportunity for franchise expansion for all interested investors looking to apply.
