Company Profile
Fitness Together
Company Overview
Fitness Together's success is attributed to the strong appeal of its unique approach in helping clients achieve their personal fitness goals. 1 Client, 1 Trainer, 1 Goal, the Company's theme, captures the essence of the Fitness Together concept. Each client is assigned his/ her own personal training program that is customized to meet the client's needs. The client and personal trainer begin working together at the FT facility for the precribed frequency (e.g., one hour, three times per week). In a fully equipped, state-of -the-art private room, the personal trainer takes the client through each exercise, ensuring the proper technique, weight and necessary repetitions to achieve the desired results, while continuously motivating clients to work to their maximum potential. As improvement is made in both strength and endurance, the personal trainer modifies the client's program, adding a variety of progressively more challenging exercises. Fitness Together typically appeals to busy men and women with limited time to exercise but a strong desire to improve and maintain their health. By working with FT trainers, clients can quickly and efficiently reach their fitness goals. While FT clients range in age from 15 to 80, this personalized one-on -one approach appeals most strongly to moderately affluent men and women from ages 40 to 60.
Personal attention is the key to FT's success.
Company History
Rick Sikorski established Fitness For Life, Inc. in 1983 by opening a studio in Colorado. Due to National Trade marking Protection, Fitness For Life is now operating under the name Fitness Together (FT). FT offers unique personalized fitness-training programs for people ranging in age from fifteen to eighty years old. In the privacy of individual rooms, FT clients work with their own personal trainer to achieve mutually established fitness goals. Rick Sikorski now serves as President of the Company and its affiliate, Fitness For Life Franchise Corporation ("FFLFC" of "Affiliate").
Since its inception, the company has experienced a steady increase in its clientele base. To accommodate the growing demand for services, Fitness Together enlarged its facility, and then expanded its market coverage from one location in the center of Scottsdale, Arizona to four locations, valley-wide.
Fitness For Life Franchise Corporation was formed during 1996 to offer franchises to qualified prospects interested in owning and managing their own Fitness Together training facilities in Arizona and throughout the U.S. To test the appeal of the FT concept on other geographic markets, the first franchise was established in the wealthy suburban community of Overland Park, Kansas.
FT is now the largest personal training organization in the world and continues to grow throughout the U.S. and the world.
