Athletic Nation Fitness Gym franchise is a no frills, hardcore training gym. We are all about getting you back into the game. For most of our members, it's been a life changing experience. It has transformed lives. From being an overweight, out of shape, zero energy, home hermit to an athletic, high energy person who is fully engaged in living life again.

Inside the Athletic Nation Fitness Franchise Gym franchise 

This is NOT one of the many machine-based fitness centers. Athletic Nation's unique fitness gym franchise system is the personal training gym specifically designed for results. From our hardcore gym atmosphere, the intense free-weight workout sessions, and the spirit of camaraderie among our members, we have created an environment conducive to results. 

At Athletic Nation- Personal Training Gyms, we are changing lives by improving the fitness and health of people across the country. We make our clients accountable. They are successful people with their personal and professional lives in check... but NOT their health and fitness. The "Big Box" and "Meathead" training gyms don't make sense for them.

Athletic Nation is not just another one of the many fitness businesses you see popping up on every other corner. We are very unique to the industry and our niche market is virtually untapped with little competition. Studies show that over the next ten years US baby boomers are projected to increase annual spending from $200 billion to $1 trillion on health & wellness. There are an estimated 75 million boomers in the US. This is our primary target market. Our member profile is age 30 to 65 and successful professionals in the mid-to-upper income range.
