SERVICES Contours Express Fitness Studios
CONTOURS EXPRESS franchisees operate from studio premises providing women with 29-
minute weight-loss and fitness programmes. Franchised in the US in 1998, Contours Express
has more than 400 North American franchisees and is looking to launch six in Great Britain in
the next year. Candidates do not need to be qualified personal trainers, but will need
enthusiasm for fitness, have an entrepreneurial spirit and a positive attitude. Successful
candidates receive four-days training at the US head office covering the general operating
procedures for the business, use of the equipment and basic fitness training. All franchises
must become Fitness Industry Association members, which takes a further two-weeks’ training
in Great Britain. Ongoing support from the Great Britain Master Franchisee, annual
conventions, and advanced training seminars will ensure franchisees are supported in their new
business venture and kept informed of developments in the industry and franchise network. In
addition, franchisees receive the exclusive 16-piece CardioFit circuit, cue tape, and wall charts,
FitBiz training, a monthly newsletter and a quarterly marketing package including promotions
and ready-made marketing materials.
