With any major franchise, there are rules you have to abide and training that is necessary.
- You think any person can own a subway and run it? The owners have to undergo training and offer the specific subway products or lose their franchise.
My buddy Mark decided that he wanted to own a gym and bought a core progression. The idiot did not look up what exactly a core progression is. It is a gym, but a personal training one. My friend wanted to own a building with a bunch of machines where people swipe their gym membership and leave him alone. A core progression is the opposite mentality to this. What makes the health club different is that they don’t leave their customers alone. They take charge of every person’s fitness and help them achieve their goals. A core progression only hires certified fitness experts with a portfolio proving their training does in fact work. Also, a core progression has standard classes that have to be offered. Bridal fitness, couples training, and bodybuilding are just some of the classes that have to be offered at every core progression. I also know my buddy has to constantly go to classes to keep up to date with the standards of fitness the gym offers. No way will Mark keep the franchise name. He is going to mess up by either hiring his friends to work there or just not offering the classes. I can also see him bailing on the training courses too. The core progression name won’t want to be associated with him.
