<div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Fitness has always been an important part of Brooks Rankin and his family&#8217;s life. Rankin grew up as an athlete and always maintained an active lifestyle and even worked at a fitness club in college. After college, he did an internship at a private club in California. He wanted to take his passion for fitness and translate that into a business. He looked at franchise opportunities and he and his family opened a gym in 2010 in Pennsylvania. He has consulted for many gyms and has worked at eight different gyms over the last nine years, all of different sizes and types. Working in these different environments has given him an idealistic approach to operating his own club; creating a culture that has the best interest in mind for guests, members, staff, and owners.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Rankin&#8217;s family also has a strong medicine background in and he is very passionate about working out as a means of means of preventative medicine.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><strong><a href="http://1851franchise.com/" target="_blank">1851 Franchise</a></strong>: Why did you choose an opportunity with <a href="http://workoutanytime.com/franchising/own-a-club?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=young-franchisees-to-know-brooks-rankin-3204" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="brand-highlight">WORKOUT ANYTIME*</span></a>?</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><strong>Brooks Rankin</strong>: I was speaking with a colleague who is a fitness industry consultant, and he gave me the inside scoop on an up and coming concept, WORKOUT ANYTIME.
