Why own a Women’s Fitness Franchise?
 Owning a women’s fitness franchise is a great opportunity, as it taps into the two trends: Weight loss and fitness. The women’s fitness market has expanded over the years and shows no signs of slowing.
A majority of women who prefer a gender-specific workout center and are flocking to these franchises to improve their comfort levels during workouts.
Women are a growing majority of all health club members, accounting for 57 percent of the grand total in 2005. Within the commercial club category, Women constitute 60% of the national membership.

 May women who belong to women’s only workout centers say that their comfort level provides a higher level of motivation to continue on the road to fitness. In addition, these centers are smaller in scale, with less of an emphasis on perfect physiques. These traits, along with a relatively low cost of ownership, have made them some of the most desirable franchises for small towns, or communities undeserved by conventional gyms.
