A Decade Strong: GYMGUYZ Celebrates 10 Years of Franchising with Massive Growth & Development in 2023

MELVILLE, New York (December 11, 2023) – GYMGUYZ,</a> the world’s largest in-home and on-site personal training franchise, is set to close out 2023 with record-setting growth numbers. This year, the brand is closing out 10 years of franchising, boasting the opening of new franchise territories – expanding into an additional 170 cities – with a projection of 75 more territories for 2024.

“As we celebrate a decade of franchising, I’m thrilled to say that our team continues to meet and surpass our annual goals,” said Josh York, Founder & CEO of GYMGUYZ. “Between our dedicated existing franchisees expanding into new territories and the addition of impressive new franchisees to our system, we have further solidified our position as an industry leader and are well set up to continue building a strong fitness brand. The journey ahead is exciting, and we look forward to inspiring even more individuals on their path to a healthier and happier life.”



As the wellness market grows from being a $53 billion market in 2022 to an industry with $74.9 billion in projected revenue in 2030, GYMGUYZ remains steadfast in its commitment to expanding its reach and empowering clients. Key to this commitment has been the rollout of several new services offerings.



This year, the brand diversified its offerings by launching Assisted Stretch services</a>. Similar to other services, GYMGUYZ provides all equipment necessary for Assisted Stretch sessions which are offered at client request and can be personalized to the individual. Additionally, the brand has rolled out all-new, online, one-on-one and small group fitness virtual training sessions</a>, streamed from a state-of-the-art fitness studio. The Online Personal Training studio is a 1,700-square-foot designated space at GYMGUYZ’s Headquarters in Melville, New York.



Continuously innovating, the brand has also expanded its reach in the marketplace by teaming up with corporations, schools, parks and recreation departments, senior living centers, and other local business partners. This has opened the door to vast growth potential, setting the stage for an ambitious 2024 ahead. 



“Our goal at GYMGUYZ is transform lives; not just the lives of our clients, but the lives of our franchise owners,” said York. “Our making a true difference in their communities.”



Serving over 1,000 cities internationally, including cities in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, GYMGUYZ uses a variety of customized fitness programs, including strength training, cardio fitness, sports conditioning, group fitness, weight loss and toning, senior fitness, youth and teen fitness, assisted stretch, and nutrition counseling to help people reach their health goals.
