Fitness Enhancement has sold two franchises in two months, both to existing staff members.

CEO and founder of the personal training business, Scott Hunt, said “Every new franchise is extremely exciting for us, but it is extra exciting to have our own staff, who know the business inside out, also see the amazing opportunity there for the taking. The fact that they have chosen to leave a good job to take up this opportunity is further evidence of the great direction we’re all heading in.”

New franchisee Eli King had worked for Fitness Enhancement for a year then purchased a franchise in North Lakes, North Brisbane; Troy Symons who has been with the company for five years as a personal trainer and then studio manager has purchased the Beenleigh territory.

Symons said “I had a great career working for Fitness Enhancement, but I always had the dream of owning my own business and the rewards that come with being your own boss.”

Franchisor Scott Hunt started the fitness enterprise with just $400 in 1999.

“I started the business when I was 19 and still at university, so I made plenty of mistakes in the first few years but the key thing was that I learnt from every single one of them. From there I had a decade of successful business ownership prior to taking the leap into franchising, so I had well and truly proven its success before making this transition.”
