Here are some frequently asked questions that are put in place to help you learn about the Acheive Fitness USA Licensing Program and answer your questions.  If you have any additional questions feel free to contact us.

Why should I open my own licensing program rather than a franchise?

For some business owners, franchising is a suitable option.  Unfortunately, franchises generally involve significant start up and royalty fees.  They also require a substantial amount of capital to cover several months of expenses.  A major advantage of our program is the fact that you can recoup our nominal start up fee in only a few months.  We don’t collect additional fees until you have actually created your business.

Another advantage is that a licensing program provides much more flexibility and is well suited for entrepreneurial types.  The rules, regulations and guidelines for licensing are much more flexible than for franchises.

Why should I open my own Achieve Fitness USA licensing program rather then just open for business on my own? 

This is a question many new business owners must ask themselves.  At Achieve Fitness USA we have spent millions of dollars to create this business model, implement the business solutions department and training programs not to mention starting Fundamental Fitness Products which was started to provide our licensing owners with additional revenue streams and opportunities.  Due to the low cost and high success rate of this program it is much more beneficial to not try to re-invent the wheel and jump aboard a successful team. Why spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to grow your business and create different business systems when it’s right here waiting for you.

Do I actually own the business?

Yes, you are in licensing partnership with us and we provide you numerous key assets including one of the most successful business plans in the industry.  You 100% own the business and with our partnership it has been determined by a valuation company that you could sell your business after you are accepted into the licensing program at a profit due to the assets provided.  How many companies are worth money before even obtaining business?  You will be if you are awarded a licensing program.

I keep hearing about multiple revenue streams all over this industry. Can you explain what multiple revenue streams mean?

In recent years a lot of personal trainers have really began to understand that they are exchanging hours for income and that just was not good enough for many trainers so they turned to what we call multiple revenue streams. Achieve Fitness USA is the leader in the industry in providing revenue streams.

Achieve Fitness USA along with most successful companies have what is called multiple revenue streams coming in.  A revenue stream is a revenue source within your business. As fitness professional we sometimes are just trading hours for dollars and that’s what a top notch business tries to avoid.  By incorporating different revenue streams in your business you can turn profits when you are not at work to increase your revenue totals.  One way to be able to measure the success of your business is to take a look at your business and see if you earn income when you are on vacation or when you take a day off.  If they answer is no that is because you are working in your business and not on it which is a key business function we teach.  

Achieve Fitness USA wants our owners working on the business and not 100% in it.  Lets be business owners and not just personal trainers.  Multiple revenue streams allow you to bring aboard quality trainers to your team and grow the system earning company revenue and income for yourself from many sources.

If I have all of these revenue streams in my business how am I going to do it all?

That's one of the common and most often mistakes business owners make.  Working in the business and not on it.  It is your job as the business owner to provide the business model, structure, revenue streams and system then you bring aboard quality individuals to help you properly use the assests you have and grow the business.

What if I’m nervous about starting my own business?

This is very common for most new business owners.  Beginning a new venture requires courage and determination.  We will teach you how to overcome your initial self doubt and apprehension.  You will continue to increase your self confidence and learn to appreciate each triumph on your path to success.

Although working for someone else certainly has some advantages, we will teach you how to become your own boss. Becoming a licensee owner will enable you to maintain full control over your business; you will be responsible for all your decisions.  Although this concept may seem daunting, it allows you much greater flexibility.  You will also experience greater satisfaction every time you reach one of your professional and career goals.

Do you guarantee that I will make a profit?

Let’s face it.  Making a profit is one of the reasons why you have chosen to start your own business.  We will work very closely with you throughout the process to help you establish a profitable fitness business. 

Yes!  We will teach you how to create multiple revenue streams.  You will learn how to secure the financial aspect of your business and generate additional income with minimal effort.

How much will I learn about business?

You may have many years of previous business experience or you may be very new to this exciting opportunity. Regardless of your current level of knowledge, there is always more information to learn.  We will share our years of valuable business expertise and knowledge with you and provide guidance throughout the program.  This will enable you to enhance your business knowledge and become an expert in your business.

How will you help me reduce my apprehension?

As we mentioned, the majority of new business owners experience initial apprehension.  This is why every member of our program complete AF-USA Prep.  This is the first step toward increasing your business knowledge.  We will provide you with education, advice and support which will help you replace your apprehension with confidence.

Will I be able to share my own ideas or suggestions?

Absolutely!  As they say “two heads are better than one” and we strongly believe in the power of brainstorming.  We encourage you to share your ideas or suggestions.  In turn, we will share our own valuable ideas and years of experience with you.  By teaching you which methods and techniques work well, we can greatly increase your chance of success.

How can you assist me with my own unique business needs?

Every business owner has different requirements, and we help you identify your particular strengths and weaknesses.  We use this information to prepare a custom plan to suit your individual business and style.  Our personalized service distinguishes us from other companies.  We can help you reach your professional goals much faster and easier than on your own.

We are available to provide you with continuous support while you are increasing your business on a infinite basis. We are not successful unless you are.  Regardless of any situation that may arise throughout the process, we are here to help.  Remember, if you ever have a question or concern, we are only a phone call away.

I own my own business right now which includes some mobile training and a studio.  Am I a good candidate for a licensing program?

Absolutely, alot of perspective owners who currently are business owners in the fitness industry lack one or many of the important features that are necessary to make a business successful: Industry partnerships, Vendors, business plan, revenue streams, or even direction in many situations.  Our licensing partnership and program can help make you even more successful.  We can help take a non successful, a marginally successful or even a very successful business to the next level.

I own my own fitness business and I am having a difficult time growing it to where I want it?

This is a question we recieve on a daily basis. Our answer although simple is very important. We answer this question with a question which is "If you have been in business for yourself and you are not happy with the growth rate you need to ask yourself what you need to do?"  In most cases the answers fall within business structure, growth patterns and most importantly partnerships which equal stronger marketing power and clients.  AF-USA provides all of this with no large investment amounts.

How come AF-USA has such a small initial investment when franchises charge much more?

Achieve Fitness USA prides ourselves on the fact that we do not become successful until you do.  We do not turn a profit until you do which makes what we do a true partnership experience.  We have done all the research and most franchise systems leave out a huge percentage of the population and market to investors rather then the fitness professional.  Our goal is to take the fitness professional, give them the tools and assets they need to become successful and grow within their success.

Does Achieve Fitness USA take as much as gyms do of my training sessions?  I have such a hard time training clients in my gym and I only make $30 when they charge $65?

This is one of the keys of our program.  We only take between $4-$6 for each session you perform. "I have told anyone interested in our system to just charge an extra $4-$6 per session and this system and partnership is FREE."

How is my region determined?

Achieve Fitness USA awards successful applicants based upon zip code and demographics.  A typical region would be about 200,000 people which in some cases are too big for one licensing system.  We do an area analysis before we award a program which helps us determine the opportunity to be successful in the region.
