What ongoing support will I receive as a franchise owner?
ISI Elite Training provides continuous support to its franchisees well beyond the initial opening. Each franchise owner is assigned a Franchise Business Coach – an experienced advisor who will work with you one-on-one to help you interpret your numbers, refine operations, and achieve your business goals.
How does ISI Elite Training help franchisees with marketing and member acquisition?
Marketing and sales support are a big part of the ISI franchise package. The brand’s in-house marketing team provides ready-to-go campaigns and materials for digital ads, social media, print, and more – all tailored to promote your studio and the ISI Elite Training brand in your community.
Do I need fitness industry experience to own an ISI Elite Training franchise?
No specific fitness background is required. ISI Elite Training welcomes franchisees from all professional backgrounds – you do not need to be a personal trainer or have prior gym ownership experience.
How profitable is an ISI Elite Training franchise?
While individual results can vary, ISI Elite Training’s model is designed to maximize profit potential through recurring revenue and efficient operations. The primary revenue comes from membership dues – and because most ISI members are on unlimited monthly plans (over 90% opt for the top tier membership) – franchisees benefit from a steady, predictable income stream each month.
