Fitness 1440 is a unique fitness club franchise that values the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection and community involvement. In response to the widespread, growing interest in fitness and the demand for convenient, inviting fitness centers we're expanding and looking for enthusiastic individuals to join us. Previous fitness industry experience is not necessary to own your own Fitness 1440 franchise as we provide you with comprehensive training and a proven business system. If you're interested in owning a business that positively impacts people's lives, as well as the community it serves, then this may be the ideal business for you. The Fitness 1440 franchise opportunity features numerous competitive advantages, including:

• A recession-resistant, multi-billion dollar industry- The fitness industry withstands economic fluctuations. In fact, according to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA):
  • In 2010, U.S. fitness industry revenues totaled $20.3 billion.
  • There are 50.2 million U.S. health club members (as of January 2011).

• Flexible, customizable business plans- Whether utilizing a 24-hour access format, or a traditionally-run fitness center system, our business plans simplify the process of investing, planning, developing, implementing and managing your fitness center, and can be tailored to fit your goals and the needs of your community.
• Community involvement that strengthens consumer relationships- Our dedication to giving back is what sets Fitness 1440 apart from other fitness franchises. Our exclusive Commit Fit membership program provides members with the opportunity to help a cause, at no additional cost, simply by maintaining their membership and committing to a healthy lifestyle. We help encourage members and staff to get involved through incentive and discount programs.
• Consumer loyalty that helps you grow your business- We believe that no better way exists to feel more connected as a company and a community than by giving back. In fact, a recent report indicated eight out of 10 Americans, "have a more positive image of businesses that support a cause they care about." When price and quality are equal, 76% of consumers would switch brands or retailers when a company is associated with a good cause and two-thirds (130 million) said they're more likely to trust businesses that are aligned with social issues. Making a difference in the community bodes well for your business.
• Brand recognition- Members can join with Fitness 1440 for special community events to raise funds and awareness for worthy causes. Community involvement builds consumer brand recognition of the Fitness 1440 brand name and helps promote your business.
