Club Industry
elements for women
I spend the end of last week in Chicago at the Club Industry Fitness Trade Show. I love attending the major industry events… there is a great energy which exist among the club owners, trainers, vendors, and industry veterans. Although I was not speaking or presenting at this event, I did have a full schedule of meeting with elements franchisees and some great prospective owners. The fitness industry is in a major growth upswing, and the recent economic changes have made lease negotiation and construction at their lowest levels in years… overall an excellent time to get started in business - and from the high turnout it seems as if many investors agree with me.
This fall has been a very busy development period for elements for women, as we are investing into infrastructure that will allow our popular fitness brand to quickly expand into major Latin American markets - considered the next forefront of the industry. (I have to admit that trips to Buenos Aries and Rio sound much more exciting to me than Alberquerque and Kansas… maybe its my italian upbringing!) Club Industry also gave our team the opportunity to meet with potential international development partners and vendors.
