Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs will serve as the managing partner for this collaboration, offering corporate support and training for all facets of brand development.&nbsp;Beast Training Academy currently has about 100 clients and partnerships with associations and local sports organizations. Through its new partnership with Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs, its goal is to double its current number of clients in the coming months.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-kolarik-9367432b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=former-pro-hockey-player-partners-with-fitness-premier-247-clubs-to-expand-illinois-youth-sports-training-academy-2716678" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Chad Kolarik</a> is a performance coach and the owner of Beast Training Academy and is equipped with a rich hockey background. He played in the National Hockey League in two seasons, one as a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets and one with the New York Rangers, and was a member of the 2018 United States Olympic team.He says that a facility and program like Beast Training Academy didn’t exist when he was younger. “When I was a kid, we never lifted weights or did anything like off-ice training. Player development is approached differently now with new technology, new studies, and new methods. If that was available to me when I was growing up, it would have made a huge impact on my training and performance. It would have helped me develop at a quicker rate.”&nbsp;Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs CEO <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-markowicz-cfc-9a87592a/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=former-pro-hockey-player-partners-with-fitness-premier-247-clubs-to-expand-illinois-youth-sports-training-academy-2716678" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jason Markowicz</a> says the partnership with Beast Training Academy is an example of how the fitness brand can support other entrepreneurs through a successful system and proven operation. “It’s a mission of this company to help people achieve their goals, and our partnership with this facility will align perfectly with the missions our brand has already developed a foundation for,” he said.Kolarik and his team will be working alongside <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-regan-887b23b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=former-pro-hockey-player-partners-with-fitness-premier-247-clubs-to-expand-illinois-youth-sports-training-academy-2716678" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joe Regan</a>, a managing partner at Fitness Premier’s location in nearby Manhattan, Illinois. He specializes in creating programs for athletes and is eager to assist in programming strength and conditioning training for Beast Training Academy athletes. Regan owned a group training facility before joining the Fitness Premier 24/7 Club team in 2017, so he is well aware of the business landscape ahead of Kolarik in a similar transition.&nbsp;“I’m excited to help guide another person in business similar to how I was guided when first partnering with Fitness Premier,” Regan said. “I love to teach any realm of athleticism. The more we can get kids moving at a younger age, the more success they will have later in life. The same can be said of adults. Teaching them how to lift and work out properly gives them the tools to make it a lifestyle.”Manhattan, Illinois is one of the more booming towns in Illinois in terms of a growing population and features a consumer audience with a bigger pool of athletic talent. “In the current market, there aren’t any facilities geared toward youth in the area,” Regan said.Beast Training Academy’s facility currently occupies a 8,000-square-foot facility in New Lenox. Kolarik says the brand’s partnership with Fitness Premier is in an effort to maximize its existing availability and to help provide clients with greater accessibility to their training routines. “My motto has always been to pay it forward,” Kolarik said. “I was afforded a lot of things from hockey and athletics, and I want to give our clients the resources that I didn’t have growing up.”The business partnership is not limited to just youth training, as it is also meant to accommodate adult fitness and other sport-specific training.About Fit For You FranchisingFit For You Franchising is a franchisee-first franchisor and franchisee consultancy.
