Partners for life and now Partners in Business with Multiple Locations

Who made the investment?

Bill has had a successful career in several different fields over the past 30 years including more than 20 years in C-suite positions with both operational and financial leadership roles.  Partnering with his wife Charlene, they were ready to find an opportunity centered around their family which is spread out over parts of Ohio.

Why was he looking for a franchise?

Despite having had a terrific corporate career that provided several interesting and varied opportunities, Bill was ready to step back into the owner’s role.  After a career displacement last year, Bill realized that he wanted more control, more flexibility and the opportunity to build a bigger asset for himself and his family.  Franchising offered Bill the opportunity to achieve rapid scale in a business with a support structure around him.

What did he invest in?

After a deep investigation, Bill and Charlene invested in multiple locations for The Exercise Coach which is a boutique fitness business.  TEC offers a workout that is targeted to an older segment of the fitness industry and offers a concise workout utilizing proprietary equipment.

Why did he choose this brand?

Bill and Charlene reported that The Exercise Coach is a business that was affordable to build multiple locations, had strong return on investment, had space available close to their home in Ohio and had a very established system of doing business with more than 10 years of experience.
