Contours Express Fitness Franchise

- Fast Fun Fitness Franchise for Women! Contours Express is a new franchising opportunity to hit Ireland. Originating in Kentucky, USA, Contours Express established in 1998 now boasts over 700 outlets in over 30 countries worldwide and is growing at a phenomenal rate. In February 2007 Business Partners bought the Master Franchise licence for Contours Express for the island of Ireland and together with operations manager Michelle Prinsloo are now establishing the brand countrywide. With 10 fitness studios now open and further premises being fitted out, the rollout is moving quickly.

It is expected that there will be at least 15 Contours Express Women's Fitness Studios operational in Ireland by year-end. The company is currently recruiting franchisees to open and run these new women's fitness studios. The new franchisee is provided with a tried and tested turnkey solution to starting their own business and on-going business advice on how to run it successfully. The primary on-going focus of support is on how to achieve and sustain strong membership levels by offering a superior product at affordable prices. Contour Express started out by developing a unique fitness centre where women could feel comfortable.

They used weight-bearing equipment to derive maximum fitness benefits and commissioned equipment manufacturers to design the Contours Express Weight Bearing equipment that is still used today. With hydraulic equipment your fitness levels tend to plateau after a number of months as you reach the limits offered by the equipment. With weight bearing equipment your fitness levels will never plateau as you just increase the weight base in tandem with your bodys increase in fitness. Your body also benefits from lifting and lowering resistance which helps develop lean muscle, increases metabolism and burns more calories, said Michelle Prinsloo. Contours Express is designed to fit into the busy lifestyle of todays women.

It takes 30 minutes three times a week and within those 30 minutes all the major muscle groups are given a workout. While there are other competitors in the field most use hydraulic rather than weight bearing equipment. Understanding the difference between the two is crucial to understanding what makes one workout more beneficial than the other, said Prinsloo.
