- Flexibility
BodyTrac® Health & Fitness offers two common investment options. - Operator Model
You as a certified personal trainer would be responsible for the daily management of the operations as well as growing and maintaining a client base. You would also conduct some of the personal training sessions. This option allows you the opportunity to open and operate with less staff which will lower your overall operating costs. - Investor Model
In this scenario you are probably not a personal trainer but an investor looking to operate a BodyTrac franchise. With this option you would hire a manager to provide the day to day management and conduct some of the personal training. Your responsibilities would be to oversee the overall operation and focus on growing the revenue and leading the team. This option allows you to keep your current job while building the business.
Fitness – It’s a Growing Industry!

The percentage of people belonging to health clubs and gyms has doubled over the past 20 years. Within the health club industry popularity continues to explode with fitness providers that offer individualized, high-quality fitness training. Consumers are trending away from big box, general admission gyms in search of more dynamic, individualized, and transformative results delivered in a small group setting. BodyTrac® Health & Fitness is thriving in this niche market.
