With 35 years of experience in the fitness industry, selling equipment, owning retail locations, and owning and managing fitness centers, Don Powers saw an opportunity to provide a necessary service, a business based solely on repairing and maintaining fitness equipment.
He founded Fitness Machine Technicians, based in the Philadelphia region, in 2002 to specialize in the maintenance and repair of exercise equipment for gyms, corporations, hotels, and private residences – basically everywhere fitness equipment is used. The model was so successful that he decided to franchise the company.

Today the award-winning Fitness Machine Technicians franchise has locations in more than 90 territories across the country, with franchise opportunities currently available to sales and marketing pros interested in fitness and looking to run a service-based business based on a proven operating model. The company was ranked as one of the fastest-growing franchisees in 2019 by Entrepreneur magazine and grew from two franchisees in October 2018 to over 90 territories sold by the end of February 2020.

Tom Berger created the content included in this site.  It is based on his, almost fifty years, of business experience that includes 22 years with large companies, 20 years running seven high tech startups, and eight years coaching private companies and entrepreneurs.  Tom was one of the founders of a joint venture between Motorola and IBM in 1990.  The differences between large companies and small companies became immediately obvious.  Those differences were captured in short bullet points and notes.  Over the next 25 years, the list grew to be 983 items!  Some points were rather trivial while others were quite significant.  Many were based on the mistakes that he made!
