When I started Retro Fitness in 2005, my philosophy was simple: deliver more fi tness for less money, by providing an exciting and inviting environment for exercising, fi tting to any fi tness enthusiast s budget. Eric Casaburi Retro Fitness Founder & CEO
A BUSINESS MODEL THAT FITS YOU Only a third of Retro Fitness owners are owner/operators. The rest leave the day-to-day operation of the club to their trusted managers and staff, with the ongoing assistance of Retro Fitness corporate. Our current franchise owners come from diverse industries and backgrounds. But they have one thing in common: they were looking for an outstanding investment opportunity that would benefi t themselves and their families. And they were looking for that balance between lifestyle and business investment. And they found it. We look forward to showing you how Retro Fitness delivers the perfect fi t. Megan Sweitzer Now that I have a successful gym open and a second on the way, I tell people interested in opening a Retro Fitness that this model is strong. When I was in their shoes, my research proved to me that this model works so why try to reinvent the wheel? If you work with Retro corporate, you will be successful. They ve been successful at other locations, so that s exactly what I ve done to achieve success. Warren De Stefano I knew nothing about the gym business when analyzing the Retro Fitness business model. What was great for me was that Retro Fitness actually held my hand step-by-step throughout the entire process including real estate, construction, operations and everything in between. They teach you everything you need to know to open and operate the business and coming from the newspaper industry, I needed that support. Rob Kurz My return on investment as a Retro Fitness owner has been strong and profi table. One of the main reasons for that is the multiple profi t centers existing in our club above and beyond our membership base, like Retro Blends juice bar, personal training, supplements, tanning and child care. It s great to know that there s revenue coming in from other areas of the club that allows us to maximize returns. Joseph Zito The best part of being a Retro Fitness owner, I don t spend a lot of time in my business. I m an owner who has spent approximately 12 hours at my business over the past three years! Retro Fitness to me is also a beautiful thing because it s my retirement plan, it s my pension plan, it s my life insurance plan...it s something I don t stress over. It s something that I monitor from my cell phone. It s something that is very easy to run with the tools that they give us and it s an amazing part of my life.
