There is truly nothing like The Exercise Coach in the marketplace.
The Exercise Coach has pioneered a better approach to fitness and health for a large and under-served sector of the adult population. The Exercise Coach has built, from the ground up, an entire fitness experience and solution catered to this specific type of client.
The advantage over traditional training is in the proven process of service delivery. One of the great benefits to their industry-leading fitness technology is a standardized service delivery that is consistent no matter the coach or location, yet can adapt precisely to meet the needs of each individual client. All client workouts are stored and data is produced which allows your coaches to provide smart recommendations for and for clients to see proof of results as they continue to progress.
Backed by muscle fiber physiology, Our Smart 20™ workouts deliver better results than other workouts in less time. The deep effects of a Smart 20™ workout are unrivaled and come from the unique ability to scientifically personalize strength and interval training for any individual. Coaches use industry leading training technology to guide individuals and groups through data-driven sessions energized by real-time digital feedback.
The technology used exclusively at The Exercise Coach and connected resistance training sets The Exercise Coach apart from other fitness franchises.

Ideal Candidates
The Exercise Coach is not just looking for fitness people to be franchise owners. The ideal franchisee is someone who would make a good Exercise Coach client. They’re most interested in finding quality people who understand the need for effective exercise in their own lives and would feel good about delivering it to others.
Additionally, this business is one where the owner can work on the business rather than in the business. You’ll be hiring and managing others to deliver The Exercise Coach System to your clients, and they will receive in-depth training and certifications. This allows you to own more than one Exercise Coach Studio, if you so desire.
