Healthy Inspirations franchise director shares 10 tips for managing a women’s health franchise

The Healthy Inspirations franchise managing director Jamie Hayes shares these 10 success principles and ‘tricks of the trade’ for managing a women’s health franchise:

1. Reduce the risk and expense of starting your own weight loss franchise. Don’t reinvent the wheel and spend your dollars on research and development when it already exists in the women’s health franchise industry.

2. Follow the Healthy Inspirations franchise business plan including complete operations and marketing systems, as well as staff recruitment and training, site selection and lease negotiation.

3. It is vital to have a passion and belief for your weight loss franchise.

4. Know what you don’t know about your women’s health franchise and do something about it.

5. Make decisions about your Healthy Inspirations franchise based on your principles.

6. Remember it is okay to be rigorous, rather than ruthless.

7. Always endeavour to find a win/win scenario for all parties involved in your weight loss franchise and be honest in your communication to all stakeholders within your women’s health franchise.

8. Continually study that which you seek and speak to people who have what you want in regards to your Healthy Inspirations franchise.

9. For your weight loss franchise to thrive, consider reading broadly and study books like ‘The E-Myth Revisited’, ‘Think and Grow Rich’, and the ‘One Minute Manager’ series.

10. Pay your women’s health franchise BAS monthly instead of quarterly.

Fitness club owners since 1981, franchisors Jamie Hayes and wife Ellen, realised the gym franchise industry does not offer any real weight management solutions and the result is false hope for women who want to lose weight for good. Equally, the women’s health franchise industry does not offer an effective exercise and fitness strategy for women.

The Healthy Inspirations franchise offers Australia’s first holistic weight loss franchise program based on a model in the USA that is a lasting diet, fitness and support plan for Australian women.

Healthy Inspirations franchisees share a passion for inspiring women to lose weight and improve their quality of life, at the same time creating a potentially successful and profitable weight loss franchise.

“The number one reason people join a fitness club is to lose weight, but because they don’t have a diet section, they don’t lose weight and they get disillusioned,” Jamie said. “We teach women to lose weight and still be shopping in the supermarket for their whole family.”
