Las Vegas, Nevada (September  6, 2007) – Total Fitness Systems today announced that its health club consulting operations division, was awarded 2007 World Gym International’s Vendor of the Year at their annual convention, the second such award in the past four years. TFS was previously awarded VOY in 2006.

The VOY is voted on by all World Gym Franchisees, gathering their rankings in areas such as brand development, franchise support, customer satisfaction, likelihood of referral and overall operation quality. The annual World Gym convention brought together over 250 club owners, corporate executives, staff and vendors from 14 countries. The convention wrapped up with the annual World Gym Awards Ceremony where more than 40 awards were given in a wide range of categories. And Total Franchise Systems took home 17.

“TFS has been a true partner to World Gym International and our franchisees,” said Mike Uretz, Chief Executive Officer for World Gym International. “Over the past year, we have spent substantial time meeting with Manny Butera CEO and President of TFS and visiting their facilities in Nashville, TN to get a deeper understanding of his operation, their impressive employee development and their cutting edge sales and marketing systems. Butera has been working diligently on the acquisition of World Gym International and we feel strongly that he will move the brand to all new levels of success.

“We are proud of the TFS team for winning the Vendor of the Year Award at this year’s convention,” said Manny Butera “This award is voted on by the World Gym Franchisees based on great leadership, great customer service, brand development and everything we preach every day at our facilities. We take business very serious and we understand that if our customers are happy then our business is successfull, period” said Butera

“To win the World Gym VOY award twice in the past four years is truly an honor,” said Marvis Raymer VP of Sales. “The recognition is made even more significant with the knowledge that it is decided by our fellow franchise owners themselves. Anyone who knows or works with Manny understands he works 20 hours a day 7 days a week and he puts it all on the line very day making sure that what we put out every day is the very best. He demands excellence out of each employee and in return we are able to produce a fitness environment that I have never seen in the fitness industry.
