2. Franchise Overview
Overview
GYMGUYZ is the largest in-home and on-site personal training franchise in the world. Founded in 2008, they provide clients with certified personal trainers who bring state-of-the-art fitness equipment directly to the client's home, office, backyard, local park, or any location of their choice, including virtual sessions. GYMGUYZ has developed a strong competitive advantage by eliminating the traditional barriers to fitness, offering a mobile model with no brick-and-mortar location required, which translates to low overhead and the ability to open and operate in as little as 8 weeks. In addition, they provide a proprietary initial assessment process, customized fitness programs, a fleet of branded vans stocked with professional equipment, comprehensive training through GYMGUYZ University, and ongoing corporate support. With over 280 franchise locations across 30+ states and 3 countries, and a Net Promoter Score over 90, GYMGUYZ has been recognized by Entrepreneur Franchise 500, Inc. 5000, Forbes, and major media outlets.
Management team / founders
In 2008, at the age of 25, Mr. Josh York launched GYMGUYZ from his parents' dining room table in Plainview, New York, with just $15,000 in savings. Josh had earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from Long Island University Post and held personal trainer certifications from ISSA and IFA. While in college, he worked at several fitness clubs and developed a deep passion for exercise and fitness. After graduating, he gained practical business experience at a local marketing company before making the leap to start his own venture. Recognizing that many clients would rather have workouts brought to them than go to a gym, he created the in-home personal training model that would become GYMGUYZ. Despite a rocky start, it took years of relentless effort before the concept gained traction, Josh grew the company from a single operation on Long Island to an international franchise brand spanning over 280 locations across three countries. Named a Top 35 CEO Under 35, Josh continues to serve as Founder and CEO, leading the brand's mission to be in every country and every continent. GYMGUYZ began franchising in 2014, and franchise owners receive comprehensive training at GYMGUYZ University, ongoing operational support, marketing assistance, and a proven system designed to get locations up and running in as little as 8 weeks. No fitness background is required.
