Annangrove franchisee moves from managing to owning her own club with Plus Fitness health club franchises

After managing a large and successful health club for six years, Michelle Wallis was looking for a new challenge, with a view to purchasing her own club, when she made the decision to invest in Plus Fitness 24/7 health club franchises.

She says she looked at a few options before making her decision, including doing it on her own or buying into a franchise scenario.

After much consideration, Michelle recalls that she decided to invest in Plus Fitness 24/7 health club franchises because of the systems, support and resources that were available to their franchisees 24/7.

“While I had the ability to go it alone the time it would take to create all my own systems and stay on top of current trends especially in regards to marketing and sales in the fitness industry, would detract me from other key aspects of my business,” she explains.

Purchasing a small existing club at Annangrove that was struggling to break even month to month, Michelle quickly focused her attention on developing the business.

Within fifteen months she was able to report an impressive turnaround at her new fitness franchise, including a 100% increase in fortnightly direct debit income.

This would not have been possible, Michelle states, without the assistance of Plus Fitness 24/7.

“The growth I have experienced both personally, professionally and within every key aspect of my business is a direct result of the systems, support and guidance that I have received from the team at Plus Fitness 24/7,” she confirms.

“They are always available and the systems and resources are continually being updated to keep in touch with current trends, allowing me to focus on the growth of my business.”

With her business still growing, Michelle says her next aim is to open a second health club franchise, and is currently working with the team at Plus Fitness 24/7 to make that a reality.
