FitWit News

Join our FitWit Affiliates and run your own fitness business!

Owning expensive gyms drain your savings, while franchises Squash your freedom. Only FitWit offers the independence, support, and programming that keep your camp rosters booked with clients and keep that revenue in your pocket.

FitWit has grown steadily EVERY year for the last 6 years in a market saturated with boot camps (at least 25 companies in Atlanta!). We've seen every type of camp come and go, and we continue to crush the competition by turning the "boot camp" concept on its head with our workout tracking, equipment variety and commitment to the community, AND we are increasing our lead everyday in the fight against the run-of-the-mill boot camp. We don't yell at campers, we don't chant cadences, we don't wear camouflage, and most importantly, we don't simply exercise without a goal in mind. Just like one-on-one training, we provide specific instruction (from certified personal trainers), we record your performances, and we vary the workouts continually utilizing many different pieces of equipment. We're a fitness community that produces tangible results. Our program is about living a fit lifestyle that is sustainable, not a temporary, 30-day quick-fix solution that so many of these boot camps preach. And now, we're spreading our mission nationwide by offering personal trainers the opportunity to own and operate their own FitWit camps.

Costs

  • FitWit Certification/Workshop Fee: $1000
  • Licensing Fee: $2000/year. This fee includes the entire FitWit program - programming, logo, manuals, web templates, sample forms, sample letters, sample ads and support via Online Resource Center and Affiliate Forum.

We know our fees are significantly lower than typical franchise or certification programs. Please do not consider this a cheap, get-rich scheme. We provide a fantastic program, but your personality, work ethic, professionalism and enthusiasm will determine your success. We encourage you to do your research and compare us. We're confident that no other program in the country can compete with our business model. Consider the following:

  • Our low affiliate fee vs. 5-10% franchise fees
  • No gym = no rent. We primarily run camps outdoors, and indoors when necessary through partnerships with local school, churches, and community centers. We teach you how to secure an indoor space for little to no cost.
  • Our 2-day training vs. an in-home course taught by a few DVDs and a manual.
  • Our on-going affiliate support.
  • Our unique training system vs. every other dime-a-dozen boot camp on the block — separate yourself!
