Mobile personal training concept GYMGUYZ recently ranked in the second-place spot on Franchise Gator’s annual list of the Top 100 Fastest-Growing Franchises. This top-three ranking and first-page placement comes after a wildly successful year for the #1 in Home Personal Training® franchise.

“We are honored by this recognition and owe it to our franchise owners, personal trainers and everyone involved for building this business from the ground up in record time,” said Josh York, Founder and CEO of GYMGUYZ. “If you surround yourself with the right people and create a culture that people are energized to be a part of, success and growth will follow.”

Last year, the brand was recognized as No. 5 on Inc. Mag’s 10 Hottest Franchise Businesses in America which highlighted their growth of more than 801% over the last 3 years. In 2019, the brand continued to build on this momentum by bringing its creative in-home and onsite workouts to new domestic territories, including California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Florida, California, Illinois and Virginia. In 2020, the brand is focusing on expanding its onsite corporate wellness business and accelerating international growth in places like Europe and the Middle East.

“As a mobile-based concept that focuses on in-home and onsite convenience, combined with maximum client accountability that only the most skilled trainers can deliver, GYMGUYZ is the future of the industry and the ‘Amazon’ of fitness,” said Phil Brojan, Chief Marketing Officer. “Our disruptive model of delivering the workout to the client has gotten us a long way in a short period of time. Now, we are excited to continue changing people’s lives, serving our growing roster of franchise owners, and experiencing some of the fastest growth in the fitness space.”

This is the 7th annual Top 100 list that Franchise Gator has released. The list was developed to assist prospective franchisees in their search for a franchise opportunity to invest in and focuses on company growth, financial stability, experience and several other criteria in an effort to help the average franchise buyer identify minimal risk potential. The list is also meant to highlight more affordable options for the average franchise buyer.

“I’ve studied hundreds of franchise opportunities, and GYMGUYZ represents all of the traits we look for in a Top 100 franchise,” said Eric Bell, General Manager, Franchise Gator and Vice President, Franchise Ventures. “Congratulations to GYMGUYZ for being an exemplary opportunity among many to choose from.”

GYMGUYZ delivers convenient, customized and creative workouts to help every client meet their own personal goals. The company also focuses on small group training and fitness classes held onsite at corporations, school, and hospitals. Training programs begin with a complementary health and fitness assessment that uses body composition technology to measure everything from muscle mass to basal metabolic rate. Nutritional habits are also evaluated in order to structure a training plan designed to achieve the client’s fitness goals within an agreed upon period of time. Due to the uniquely personalized approach the company takes, GYMGUYZ prioritizes cultivating a high level of trust and respect between trainers and clients. This approach is so well received that GYMGUYZ holds an NPS score of 94—well above industry average and showcasing the positive response clients everywhere have toward the company.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 15, 2020

RR Aesthetics, a premier medical spa in Beverly Hills, has announced it will begin offering the exclusive Lamelabo product line by the Faith Group of Osaka, Japan.

Faith Group, a technology-focused skincare company headquartered in Osaka, Japan, has a 32-year history of creating breakthrough products that improve skin from the inside out. As a research-based company, they invented the world’s most powerful collagen delivery system that relies on nano-capsules to penetrate the surface of the skin.

Faith Group’s newest product line is Lamelabo, which they have developed exclusively for medical professionals.

The Lamelabo series integrates Faith’s patented nano-capsule fresh collagen delivery system with MC2X, its innovative double-capsule ingredient mechanism. Together, these two technologies work to create stronger, healthier, and more radiant skin.

Collagen, a structural protein that acts as the scaffolding of skin, is abundant in younger people, but weakens as we age. However, it is possible to add fresh collagen to repair and strengthen the stratum corneum layer of skin. The Lamelabo products provide new collagen as a strong foundation to optimize the MC2X delivery of ingredients that moisturize, tone, and firm the skin.

This two-capsule technology enables hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, glycoside, and disodium adenosine to improve the skin on a superficial level, as well as to penetrate below the surface to continue providing structural benefits. The larger capsule bursts on the surface of the skin, which allows the smaller capsule to deliver ingredients below the surface to better moisturize, tone, and firm the skin.

“At RR Aesthetics, we believe in offering our clients the most effective anti-aging solutions,” said Rand Rusher, RN, CANS, founder of RR Aesthetics. “The Lamelabo products have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their efficacy, and that’s why we feel they meet our high standards for products we recommend to people who want to look younger without resorting to surgery.”

The Lamelabo product line includes the following innovative products:

● Clay Wash

● Gel Cleanse

● Essence Serum

● Moisture Gel Enrich

● Moisture Lotion

● Moisture Gel Light

To purchase these products, visit RR Aesthetics in Beverly Hills at 9735 Wilshire Blvd. Penthouse.

About Faith Group

For 31 years, Faith Group has been committed to developing clean, safe, and effective skincare and cosmetics in Japan. Their products are always free of parabens, surfactants, mineral oils, dyes, ethanol, phenoxyethanol, and fragrances.

About RR Aesthetics

Rand Rusher, RN, CANS, is a registered nurse with more than two decades of experience in all specialties relating to surgical and dermatologic medicine. At RR Aesthetics, he leads a team of sought-after and highly experienced skincare professionals who are devoted to the art and science of cosmetic medicine. They use their skills and extensive training in skincare and injectable products to ensure all their clients look natural and feel self-confident.

TORONTO and SANTA MONICA, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 14, 2020

Too many studio owners miss signs that their clients are struggling, disengaged, and ready to leave.

As a result, client churn often comes as an unnecessary surprise. Fitness business owners end up with shrinking revenues, lower cash flow, and increasing stress. Clients don’t get the success with their program they hoped for when they first signed up.

To empower fitness business owners to better serve customers and create better customer journeys and experiences, wellness business-management software provider WellnessLiving and global fitness business-education provider NPE announced today a renewal of their partnership for 2020.

Together NPE and WellnessLiving will help more fitness business owners leverage the latest and most powerful technology available to support small business owners with automating operations and strengthening their profitability.

“We’re committed to accelerating success for small businesses in the fitness industry,” said NPE CEO Sean Greeley. “Through education, new tools, and insights, we empower fitness businesses to make better business decisions. We’re here to strengthen their operations, reduce client churn, and create better outcomes for consumers and business owners.”

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with NPE,” said Len Fridman, the co-founder and CEO of WellnessLiving. “NPE provides incredible coaching and business education to help fitness entrepreneurs thrive. We are thrilled to offer that level of education to our customers. Together WellnessLiving and NPE align in our passion for helping business owners scale and reach new heights.”

WellnessLiving streamlines processes for billing and scheduling, payroll, and other areas that are often challenging for fitness businesses. They plan to release in 2020 new technology in artificial intelligence (AI) that surfaces insights and predictions on customer churn and retention.

“This is an area NPE has also contributed to with WellnessLiving,” said Greeley. “We know for fitness business success, it’s not just about tools and systems to acquire more clients. It’s also about tools to streamline operations, reduce headaches, and ensure stability of key systems that support better serving existing clients and members.”

All WellnessLiving customers are eligible to receive free NPE fitness-business training and coaching, including NPE’s Best-Month-Ever Blueprint. The Best-Month-Ever Blueprint offers:

• 
  An assessment of your greatest areas of opportunity to grow your business–so in 90 days you’re moving toward your Best Month Ever in total clients and revenue (or are already there).
• Specific recommendations on the business strategy you can use to fast-track your success–so you don’t waste your time working on things that aren’t moving your business forward.
• Advice and recommendations on a personalized business plan for achieving your goals in 2020–so you can create momentum that will bring you closer to new goals in record time.

WellnessLiving members can register online to receive their complimentary Best-Month-Ever Blueprint now at: http://www.npecoachescorner.com/wellnessliving

The company was founded in Toronto, Canada, by two childhood friends who ran an outdoor boot camp and fitness internet marketing company from a small home office. As their business grew, they quickly realized that they needed software to help manage it. Their fitness studio clients complained that all the existing software on the market was extremely difficult to use and lacked the key features that they wanted in an all-in-one business management solution. So, the two friends set out to make a change and WellnessLiving was born.
