Fitness Together Franchise Named to Entrepreneur Magazine's 2010 "Franchise 500"

Jan. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. – January 15, 2010 – According to the pros, the personal training fitness experts at Fitness Together Franchise Corporation run one "fit" business.

Named to Entrepreneur magazine's 31st annual "Franchise 500," Fitness Together has once again been honored among the top franchise opportunities based on financial strength, stability, growth rate and size of system. Fitness Together, which offers one-on-one personal training across more than 360 fitness franchise studios, was ranked #118 in the list published in January.

"Our focus on 1 Client, 1 Trainer, 1 Goal continues to be the tailored approach that delivers huge results across hundreds of locations," said Jeff Jervik, president and CEO of Fitness Together Holdings, Inc., regarding the brand's success. Founded in 1983, the company began franchising in 1996 and continues to add locations across the U.S. and abroad.

And unlike hot trends and here-today-gone-tomorrow ideas, Fitness Together's longevity counts, according to the magazine. "We also consider the number of years a company has been in business and the length of time it's been franchising, startup costs, litigation, [and] percentage of terminations," Entrepreneur reported.

Jervik credits Fitness Together's track record to a great franchise support team and smart franchisees who follow the system.

"A business that's been around 26 years is not a fad or a victim to temporary economic swings. That's a business with staying power, and our goal is to spread that opportunity to more franchisees who share our passion," Jervik said.
