Fitness Premier

Most franchisors and consultants can’t say they’ve walked a mile in the shoes of a franchisee, but <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-markowicz-cfc-9a87592a?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-fit-for-you-franchising-story-and-process-2716039" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jason Markowicz</a> isn't like most franchisors and consultants. Prior to becoming the CEO of franchisee advisory consultancy <a href="https://franchisefitforyou.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-fit-for-you-franchising-story-and-process-2716039" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fit For You Franchising</a>, Markowicz was a hustling entrepreneur navigating the ups and downs of franchise ownership.&nbsp;Markowicz’s journey in franchising started when he was just 22 years old, when he got a job washing gym equipment at a regional fitness chain. At 32, after successfully overcoming the early 2000s and 2008 economies, Markowicz had built up enough wealth to become a franchisee with Massage Envy and a partner with the fitness brand.&nbsp;As a part owner of Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs, Markowicz drew from his experiences as a franchisee — both the good and bad — to franchise the brand. Then, at 39, he successfully exited Massage Envy and transitioned his focus to growing the group-workout gym concept <a href="https://fitnesspremierclubs.com/own-a-fitness-premier/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-fit-for-you-franchising-story-and-process-2716039" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs</a>. At 40, Markowicz bought into another franchise, Prose Nails, a membership-based nail salon. In 2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic, Markowicz partnered with fitness industry veteran <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs85Z5gtVti0OAcbRcmVXgg?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-fit-for-you-franchising-story-and-process-2716039" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Josh Chrestman</a> to create low-cost fitness brand <a href="https://jchealthfitness.com/home?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-fit-for-you-franchising-story-and-process-2716039" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">fitWAVE</a>, designed specifically to position franchisees for success in a post-pandemic world.Today, these decades of experience have helped Markowicz create Fit For You Franchising with a dedicated mission of helping fellow entrepreneurs find the right franchise path to follow.&nbsp;“I know through the experiences I’ve had in franchising over the past 20 years as a franchisor, multi-unit franchisee and area developer, I can really help shorten the learning curve for anyone looking at investing in their future through franchising,” said Markowicz. “My process is simple and very straightforward and I’m an open book when it comes to sharing the experiences I’ve had with franchising. It’s a passion of mine helping corporate executives find their way to freedom through franchising or helping an entrepreneur find the concept that fits their skill set, lifestyle and long-term objectives.”<h4>Our Process</h4>When looking for the right franchise fit for a candidate, Fit For You follows an eight-step process:<ul><li>Learn About the Client</li></ul>The individual prospect will fill out qualifying forms to help Fit For You understand their specific needs.
