INDUSTRY CHARACTERISTICS
Popularity in the fitness industry has expanded over all age groups. Fitness is in the Top 3 franchise industries! The industry will remain resilient as a result of the increase in demand from health conscious consumers. Media attention on the health benefits of fitness and the need to reduce obesity is opening up new avenues for marketing. No matter the age, people will always want to feel good and look good!

BUSINESS MODEL
GYMGUYZ offers a turn-key model with no need for brick and mortar. Owners do not need to have the knowledge or fitness experience, however they must have interest and participate in the fitness industry.

This is not a passive business, but if you are buying into the semi-abstenee model, you must drive the business or bring on a partner with skin in the game. As you grow, within 3-4 years of opening it may be possible to passively own the business.

The Owners’ responsibilities include will vary depending on their skill set but may include marketing, networking, selling, hiring, managing their team. It is not required for owners to train their clients.

This is a project management business. The ability to be a good networker is a key component to our business model.

OUR HISTORY

LEARN HOW IT ALL STARTED FOR GYMGUYZ

Josh York started the GYMGUYZ business in 2008. However, it was many years prior that he began creating the path that would lead to a successful mobile personal training business. It was during his high school days of playing hockey that he developed a passion for fitness. He made the connection that being physically fit helped him perform better on the ice and feel great at the same time. Josh fulfilled his passion for health and fitness by working as a personal trainer in gyms on Long Island while earning his bachelor’s degree.

In 2007, after graduating from college, Josh began working for a marketing firm and continued working as a personal trainer in the evenings. It was on one of these evenings at the gym that something clicked. He noticed that gym members were inconsistent. They had too many excuses not to show up at the gym and work out. Whether his clients were working late, unable to leave the house after a busy day, or just needed to get dinner on the table, Josh realized that there are dozens of rational reasons why many people aren’t consistent gym-goers. This is when he started developing a solution.

BRINGING IDEAS TO LIFE

Tapping into his creativity, his professional background in marketing, and his solid knowledge of health and fitness, Josh decided to launch his own company. He would offer an experience that was completely different by bringing customers a unique service: a mobile fitness company that comes to the setting of your choice. GYMGUYZ was invented, with a fully equipped van containing weights, resistance equipment, body bars, and so much more. The personal trainers would develop personalized exercise and nutrition programs designed to ensure clients achieve their fitness goals.

Josh created GYMGUYZ from an idea and, like many great entrepreneurs, he started the GYMGUYZ business in his parents’ house in 2008. The dining room became a mini GYMGUYZ office. He started with a vision, a laptop, and one van. He conducted business at the dining room table with a cordless phone and one folder with a few client names.

Josh was not only running the business, but he was training the clients as well. When not training his clients, Josh drove the GYMGUYZ van every day, up and down the Long Island Expressway, in an effort to market the GYMGUYZ brand and attract new clients. Soon that one folder became multiple files, and the dining room became crowded with file cabinets, a printer, a fax machine, and marketing materials.
