THE FITNESS FRANCHISE BUSINESS IN CANADA
December 20th 2019 at 12:20am Published by sharpshooteradmin
Canadians are an active bunch. According to Stats Canada, more than 16.2-million Canadians aged 12 and over reported participating in at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week. This bodes well for franchise systems that give Canadians of all ages a place to pump iron, boost their cardio, and get fit. Investment in a dues-based business with recurring revenue, such as a fitness centre, is not only a smart move, but also provides entrepreneurs with the sense of satisfaction of keeping Canadians healthy and help them meet their fitness goals.
Fitness is big business in Canada. As Canadians collectively take charge of their physical health, more and more people are seeking to lead more active lives.
