How does the Muscleworks Gym franchise model work?
Once you’ve been approved as a viable candidate and have committed to your franchise territory by completing the franchise fee process, Muscleworks will engage its property agents. These agents will work closely with you to identify the ideal location and size for your Muscleworks Gym, submitting the brand’s specific requirements to landlords to initiate the search process.
During this time, you will undergo an induction into the gym business. This induction requires a commitment to completing a minimum of 100 hours in both live and classroom environments, where you’ll learn the ins and outs of running a successful Muscleworks business. The training is designed to cover every aspect of the business, from day-to-day operations to advanced strategies in fitness management.
Upon successful completion of the Muscleworks Business Training Program, the franchise aims for you to be fully equipped to run your own business. This training ensures that you are not only prepared to operate the gym but also to uphold the standards and reputation that Muscleworks has established over the years. By the time your location is ready to open, you’ll be confident and ready to lead a thriving business.
