The fitness segment is one of the most diverse categories in franchising. Beyond gyms, the fitness segment offers opportunities in boxing, mobile workouts, pilates, yoga, MMA, Jazzercise and a host of other specialized workouts that appeal to a range of consumers. 

That diversity not only provides a bevy of options for fitness-minded franchise entrepreneurs, but it has also created a wide range of operational models, meaning prospective franchisees should have little trouble finding a business that aligns with their liquidity, lifestyle goals, operational experience and personal interests.
