| Training | Your live training at our headquarters in Long Island, NY literally covers everything: hiring the perfect staff, creating an amazing atmosphere for your kickboxing members, how to make sales presentations feel more like natural conversations, customer retention, construction and layout challenges and how to overcome them, and a lot more. Hired a couple of new instructors and want to quickly get them up to speed? Or maybe you want your current instructors to "freshen" up on their skills? Twice a year we hold complimentary training for all of our franchisees' staff members. For new staff, we'll train them from the bottom up to be the most passionate, knowledgable instructors that they possibly can be. For "veteran" staff, we'll brush up on their kickboxing technique, their customer-relation skills, sales skills and more. Classroom Training: 42 hours | |
| Support | Our headquarters are open to you for questions and guidance Monday - Friday, 10am - 6pm EST. If you have an urgent situation and need attention ASAP, we've got you covered too. There's a special line you can reach. When you call, you'll be treated with courtesy, respect and consideration. The last thing you'll feel is "brushed aside." We'll spend however much time you need to get the question or challenge you're facing sorted out. And of course we're available via email too for those quick questions you have that can be answered in a few sentences.

| Marketing | 1)From top to bottom we've crafted a website that's proven to convert visitors into qualified leads. Your location will receive such a site, customized for your area. And because the site gets visitors to enroll on a paid trial membership - you know only extremely qualified leads are coming through your doors. Most fitness centers offer free trials. This produces leads that waste your time, without ever intending to buy from you. However, a lead that pays for a trial is very serious about fitness and weight loss, and willing to pay for it. 2) Your website offers prospects access to the web special in exchange for their name and email address. Sometimes, people don't purchase the trial membership right then and there. When this happens, they'll automatically roll over to our Done-for-You Email Marketing program that sends them a mixture of valuable fitness content, and sales messages, to convert them to your customer down the road. Of course you don't lift a finger through all of this. We take care of it for you. 3)In your in-person training, as well as in your operations manual, you'll see exactly how to use these Social Media outlets to build your business - without being salesy, pitchy, or a nuisance to the community (many businesses spam these outlets with their sales messages - which just pushes away prospects). In fact, when following our proven plan, it's actually a lot of fun and very rewarding to interact with the community through these channels. In addition, we run the nationwide Facebook Fan Page & blog which gets traffic from all over the country, and directs it to each location's website. 4) On top of all of this, we constantly use a blend of article marketing, blog marketing, search engine marketing, video marketing, social bookmark marketing and more to get your website ranked in the search engines - and deliver you high-quality traffic.
