The CDC, calls obesity in America, “common, serious and costly” and estimates that 35% of adults and 17 % of children suffer from its effects. The American Journal of Preventive Medicine predicts that this number will rise to 42% of U.S. adults, and cause about $550 billion in health care costs for the treatment of obesity and related conditions.

Recognizing the need for better health, Americans are joining gyms in greater numbers every day, and this trend has only increased in decades, losing a label of a fad a long time ago. Health insurers and employers encourage these healthy decisions by subsidizing or reimbursing membership fees, in hopes of curtailing medical costs down the road. Customers have incentives and even subsidies to  come to your business. How many businesses get such a benefit?

Proven successful in an ever-growing market, Sports/Fitness franchises are recession proof and easily produce net incomes of mid to high-mid six-figures for their owners. From in-home coach-trained workouts to stand-alone storefronts, these business models start as little as $75,000.

According to Euromonitor International, the global market for health and wellness offerings reached $686 billion in 2016 and it is expected to grow to $815 billion, by 2021.

Why aren’t you getting a piece of that pie?
