You’ll Benefit from an Extensive Business Package

As an American Bodyworks franchise owner you’ll receive a complete business package that includes:

• Comprehensive training - No experience in the fitness industry is necessary. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to run your own club including how to sell memberships, process contracts, reconcile accounts receivable, and recruit employees and trainers and all other club operations.
• Guidance with financing – Both leasing and SBA loan options are available. We will discuss both options with you, so you can decide which option is best for you.
• Site selection assistance - Our guidelines for determining whether a particular site is a good location evaluate a variety of factors, including traffic patterns, area members and lease terms.
• Exclusive, protected territory - Once you pick an area, it’s yours. You will be the only American Bodyworks franchise owner operating within a specific geographic territory.
• Preferred pricing on equipment from leading manufacturers - We have great equipment packages with StarTrac and Life Fitness. We are able to purchase their lines of equipment at greatly discounted prices. We have direct contact with our equipment vendors and your equipment will be ready to go from day one.
• Layout and construction assistance - We will assist you with the layout of your facility, install your computers and security system, give you signage designs, and suggestions on any area you may need help with.
• Presales and marketing support - We will assist you in selling memberships before your gym is even open. We have many promotional items that will allow people to visualize what your facility will look like once the build out is finished. By selling memberships before you open, you get a head start on running a successful club.
• Onsite opening support and access to qualified employees - When you open your doors, American Bodyworks offers temporary and full time workers that have been in the industry and know how we operate the business. This ranges from sales people to back end workers. These workers can work temporarily to boost productivity and further your training; or provide a needed service for an extended period of time.
• Advertising assistance - Through a small monthly fee you are a part of a national ad campaign. You’ll benefit from our website and you’ll have access to our professional in-house designers who can help you create graphics and promotional items.
• Billing services - We handle accounts receivable for you. We run your credit card and checking drafts. We can also provide a service for a small fee that will handle all your backend work for a monthly fee. This is perfect for non-owner operators.
• 24 hour tech support - Your computer system is vital to the operation of your club. With our 24 hour tech support service, someone is always available to fix any technical problems that may arise at anytime.
