If you'd rather be working out than, well, working…if your favourite channel is the health channel or your favourite website bodybuilding.com, then you may be a perfect candidate for owning and operating a sports franchise!

Like traditional franchises, sports franchises offer the benefits of proven systems of operation, brand recognition, marketing and advertising support, training, and the overarching appeal of working for yourself while minimizing risks and maximizing success potential.  One added benefit of sports franchises that may be missing from some other franchise opportunities, however, is that sports franchises make a tangible contribution to the health and wellness of your friends, neighbours, and society as a whole.  And with obesity rates and related diseases today at an all-time high and climbing higher still, what better way is there to combine your passion for health and fitness with a life's work that will both earn you an income and greatly enhance the quality of life and health for others?

In all probability, the words, “sports franchise” will conjure up different ideas in different people's minds.  For someone who is an avid runner, a sports franchise might bring to mind a fitness centre, complete with a sleek line of treadmills and large shining windows.  For a boxer, a sports franchise might indicate a gymnasium with a boxing ring spotlighted under a single light.  And the little league coach may imagine a place where kids can congregate after school and learn to swing a bat or pitch a ball.

The good news is that all of these scenarios can become reality in the sports franchise world!  From weight-loss centres and gender-specific sports clubs to personal trainers and sports training centres, sports franchises offer an array of opportunities to meet the needs and interests of sports enthusiasts of all kinds!

Below are a few of the many sports franchise opportunities that are available to sports-minded entrepreneurs.

•    Athletic Nation

This is NOT one of the many machine-based fitness centres. Athletic Nation's unique fitness gym franchise system is the personal training gym specifically designed for men. From our hardcore gym atmosphere, the intense free-weight workout sessions, and the spirit of camaraderie among our members, we have created an environment conducive to men.
