Testimonials

I take the time to read the member “wins.” When you see those successes, that helps me know we’re doing what we should be doing. That’s a huge win.

Brian B.

Franchisee

I live for people taking on a challenge and working through it- taking a leap of faith and getting results. It’s seeing the change in people when they realize they’re starting to feel good and get results. The level of integrity and purpose of the leadership team really says something. If something’s not working, they will acknowledge it and change it.

Kent H.

Franchisee

What drew us in is the combination of exercise and lifestyle. We are owning a business doing exactly what we wanted to do! The most rewarding part is seeing the change in our members- reducing their medications and being able to do things they never thought they’d be able to do again.

Kira P.

Franchisee

My experience was always in a corporate structure, so I love the agility that we are able to have as business owners. The fact that we are a part of a company that is a solution to a global problem… it’s so exciting.

Tory B.

Franchisee

There’s a community here. That’s why we joined the franchise system. We could have done something similar on our own but we wanted to be a part of a community and really accelerate the growth. We can’t necessarily do that on our own. We knew that for this particular area, exercise and healthy habit formation, you need a community.
