The franchise fitness space has so many options, which makes standing out from the pack a challenge.
But Rick built the successful Alloy Personal Training fitness franchise by taking a unique approach, focusing on a niche market with a scalable model and a selective franchisee selection process.
Alloy’s story began with a proven fitness concept that thrived corporately for years. He saw a gap in the market for personalized, small-group training specifically targeting active adults aged 45-65.
This demographic is often underserved by traditional gyms or large group fitness classes.
This focus on quality personalized training over mass classes makes it perfectly scalable and allows us to replicate the success across franchised locations.
Tune in to this episode as Rick is interviewed by Michael Benso of the Sweat Success Podcast on the strategic decisions behind Alloy's franchise success.
