Zoo Health Club Franchise Gains Momentum in Troubled Economy.
The Zoo Health Club is becoming the fastest growing fitness franchise in the US. The original Zoo Health Club located on Fort Lauderdale beach is the model for the franchise and has been the best gym in Fort Lauderdale for nearly 30 years.
“Health and fitness is an industry that has continued to grow even during these troubling economic times.” says Andrew Barnett of Diversified Health and Fitness Now more than ever, Americans realize that staying in shape is the key to a long healthy life. Fitness for many has become a lifestyle and a gym membership is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The Zoo Health Club Franchise Corporation has seen a huge influx of inquiries throughout 2010. This has translated into many new Zoo Health club franchises opening all across the United States. Locations like Royal Palm Beach, FL, Allen, TX, Grant Pass, OR, and Lake Worth, FL are only a few of the Zoo Health Club locations capitalizing on the fitness phenomenon.
According to Diversified Health and Fitness there are currently a number of clubs under contract to open nationwide including Glastonbury, CT, Orlando, FL and Gonzales, LA just to name a few. The Zoo Health clubs are reporting record numbers of new members signing up every month. This is in part due to the cutting edge marketing efforts put forth by the Zoo Health Club Franchise Corporation. Franchisees benefit from over 30 years of experience in the health and fitness industry.
One of the key features that sets the Zoo Health Clubs apart from the competition is the 24 hour 7 day a week access to all of the clubs. Members can come and work out not only during staffed hours, but have access via security cards any time day or night. Accessibility and convenience are key factors for members looking for a health club.
The Zoo Health Club Fitness Franchises also offer personal one on one training as well as group training and group fitness classes. Many locations also offer day care. Some locations also offer tanning and other spa services.
Every Zoo Health Club Franchise location offers top of the line equipment. You will find everything from free motion machines to treadmills to free weights and pin select weight machines. This type of equipment is usually found only in more expensive health clubs, but the Zoo has made fitness affordable. The Zoo Health Club franchises offer monthly membership rates as low as $14.95 and also offer membership options with no contract required.
The Zoo Health Club franchise owners are realizing tremendous profit potential. Corporate franchise support from Diversified Health and Fitness teaches them how to manage a prosperous health club by offering low cost memberships while many members upgrade to include other services like personal training sessions, aerobics, spinning, zumba and other classes. The Zoo health club line of apparel has also been a big hit. Many people are looking for a solid investment while the economy slowly recovers. A Zoo Health Club franchise is a proven business that works.
The Zoo Health club has designed a fitness franchise that has low overhead, few employees, limited inventory and high profit potential. The Zoo University ensures people of all walks of life, whether they have fitness experience or not, get the proper training to be a successful gym franchise owner. The large volume of Zoo franchises that are opening has enabled them to secure national contract pricing on equipment as well as financing terms that many other competitors can’t offer. You will find that the investment required to open a Zoo health Club fitness franchise is much lower than others. This is due to the creative financing and bargaining power achieved through years of experience in the fitness franchise industry.
The Zoo Health Club fitness franchise system has been perfected over the past 30 years. Their corporate support from Diversified Health and Fitness is unparalleled in the industry. All of this combined with a winning concept and proven system is sure to make any franchisee successful.
10 Reasons You’re Not Losing That Weight
Why air conditioning, unreasonable goals, and ignoring potassium keep you from attaining your goals.
By Nancy Gottesman,Women’s Health Dieting is complicated and we often unwittingly sabotage our best intentions. For instance, who would ever think that working out in the a.m. or cranking the AC might be the reason you’re not slimming down? Luckily, once you’ve identified these flubs, fixing them is nowhere near as hard as pulling on a pair of control-top hose. Roadblock number 1: Always a go-getter, you skip sleep to work out at 6 a.m. What’s wrong with that? Morning workouts are great—if you go to bed at 10 p.m. In a recent study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, women who slept seven or more hours a night were less likely to put on weight than women who didn’t. Those who slept only 6 hours a night were 12 percent more likely to gain substantial weight—33 pounds on average over the course of 16 years! (Women who slept a measly five hours had a 32 percent chance of gaining 30 or more pounds.) Other studies have linked lack of sleep to a higher BMI and have found that it negatively affects levels of the appetite-regulating hormones ghrelin and leptin. Detour: Don’t sacrifice your snooze time—not even for an extra-long run. And quality matters more than quantity, so taking a siesta later won’t help. “In a 20-minute power nap you don’t get into the deep-sleep stage,” says Donna Taliaferro, Ph.D., associate professor of nursing at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, who conducts research on sleep and circadian rhythms. “You need to go through the cycles of sleep over a few hours to get the restorative rest that allows your body to work properly.” Bottom line: You’re better off sleeping through your workout every other day than stumbling to a sunrise Pilates class on too few zzz’s
