Burn Boot Camp—the franchise disrupting the fitness industry by empowering communities of women to achieve their health and fitness goals—just had a banner first quarter of 2019, opening 14 new gyms, signing a new state and growing its presence across the nation.
“We are ecstatic to report that Q1 of 2019 was the second best quarter for franchise development in Burn Boot Camp's history, with 25 franchise agreements signed and over three-quarters of a million dollars in top-line revenue that will continue to foster and enhance the system,” said Jolene Purchia, Vice President of Franchise Development.
This excellent first-quarter growth includes signing a new state into the franchise system—Maryland—bringing the total number of states with a Burn Boot Camp presence to a whopping 36, a 72 percent coverage of the entire U.S. “Burn will open in Maryland to a passionate, personally invested franchise partner, Liz Grosch, and her business partners Masha and Marko,” said Purchia.
From its humble beginnings in a North Carolina parking lot to more than 200 locations across the nation in just four short years, Burn Boot Camp is now on track to open 300 gyms by the end of this year.
“We are elated as each and every location that opens their doors adds to our mission of igniting a global health transformation,” said Purchia. “In particular, we are overjoyed at our West Coast expansion, as growing our West Coast presence is a major focus of 2019. In January, our Temecula, California location opened, adding brand awareness to our sister locations on the West Coast."
Burn Boot Camp is building on the momentum it quickly generated through its revolutionary product and low investment for franchisees. Burn Boot Camp startup costs range from $148,830 to $353,150 with a $40,000 franchise fee for one license and $100,000 for a three-unit deal. As a growing company, prime territories throughout the U.S. and Canada are still available, with these untapped markets offering an opportunity for business owners to make a positive impact in their local communities.
“When an organization has a purpose, it comes alive. Everyone who is involved wants to make it better. We’ve grown fast because we stick together, and we are a family,” said Devan Kline, co-founder and CEO of Burn Boot Camp. “We built a concept around what clients wanted, and what they wanted happened to be minimalistic, which results in a low investment for owners.”
In the second quarter of 2019, the executive team of Burn Boot Camp is set to continue their national “Feel the Heat” tour to engage with potential and existing franchise partners as well as the communities of women empowered by Burn Boot Camp’s mission.
“There is nothing more powerful than seeing the passion pour out of the team members and clients at each location we visit,” said Purchia. “Watching and experiencing our exponential growth in only four short years of franchising is only part of the story. What excites us every single day at HQ is empowering and inspiring our clients’ lives all over the country, while simultaneously impacting our franchise partners, their employees and our HQ staff.”
