Some might opt for using one of the estimated 100 franchise services instead of companies such as GymCrafters. While choosing a franchise might appear more of a one-stop-shopping operation with larger name recognition, it comes at a cost. To name one, franchise fees are generally much higher than the fee a new business would pay a firm such as GymCrafters. In this economy, that alone should mean a lot.

Opening and operating a health and fitness center in the United States is still one of the secure business models. When much of the economy was suffering from the downturn in 2008-2009, the health and fitness industry showed a continuous growth rate. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that the sector will continue to show an average growth rate of 2-3 percent a year for the next coming decade. The US health club sector showed revenues of more than $23 billion in 2013. Compared to the global revenues of about $78 billion, the United States counted for slightly less than one-third of that figure, whereas the US has only 4.5 percent of the world population!
