I’ve been working ever since in different types of industries. I’m currently working at Whirlpool. I used to go to a Workout Anytime, and I always dreamed of owning my own one day. The gym was always so clean, and the staff was so friendly. Workout Anytime also offers so many things besides just a gym. They offer tanning, massages and more. My wife and I have been saving ever since. Recently, I thought it was time to begin my business ownership dream.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Berkolli:&nbsp;I didn’t really have a perception of franchising. When I started looking at other gyms, Workout Anytime seemed the best fit. I love it because it’s not too big, and the franchise fees are low.&nbsp;1851: What makes you stand out as business owners in your local community?Berkolli:&nbsp;I’m going to try the absolute hardest that I can. I want the gym to be the best it can be. That means it needs to be a clean, friendly and welcoming environment.1851:&nbsp;What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Berkolli:&nbsp;I loved the sizes of the gyms, and the initial price was more affordable. I also was a member of a Workout Anytime before the pandemic for 12 years, so I know how it feels to be a member there.&nbsp;1851:&nbsp;What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?&nbsp;Berkolli:&nbsp;I want to grow as much as I can. I just want to be successful in any way possible and give the gym members a great experience. Once I get the first location running smoothly, I will look into expanding.1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming a franchise owner?Berkolli:&nbsp;Work hard and never give up. In order to achieve your goals, you have to be willing to put in the work.
