About Orange Shoe Personal Fitness

Orange Shoe Personal Fitness is a niche franchise opportunity in a $20 billion market. The Orange Shoe Personal Fitness mission is to help people do everything better while building long-term relationships and having fun. We are looking for individuals who have similar aspirations in their next big step or business venture to join our team. The personal fitness industry is rapidly growing in popularity across the country, and we position our brand by creating a clear, competitive difference in a market filled with "one-size-fits-all" health clubs. As a result, Orange Shoe franchise owners are reaping the rewards.
What's the Orange Shoe difference? We do personal fitness better than anyone in the industry. As life changes for each of our clients, we adjust their program to fit their needs accordingly. This makes Orange Shoe unlike any other personal fitness franchise in the country. We have a proven model of success. Just ask our existing owners. Our systems are easy to understand, and operate, and we merge curriculum with career to advance your life. We bring systems in-house to advance staff and keep our product delivery consistent. We believe you should never go through big life changes alone. That is why we offer you continued franchise support beyond your studio opening. Unlike franchises that only offer resources up to opening day, Orange Shoe is here for you as a resource throughout your franchise ownership. Orange Shoe has an established and respected brand equity. There is less risk in an Orange Shoe franchise ownership compared to independent business ownership. Ninety-eight percent of franchisees are still in business 10 years after opening day while only two-thirds of small business make it past the first two years of ownership. At your studio, clients won't feel that static, uninspired feeling they know so well at health clubs... and neither will you. And because our approach is designed to deliver the specific health needs of our clients, we can charge a premium price for our expert training services. The opportunity is clear.

About 1 on 1 Yoga

1 on 1 Yoga is a unique yet traditional innovated spin on the teaching of Yoga. 1 on 1 Yoga has returned to the traditional teaching methods by centering on a membership of Private and Semi-private Yoga lessons. Members can also attend classes with a maximum student / teacher ratio of 8 to 1. Goals are established and each member is monitored closely as to their progress and rewarded for their successes. It's this close personal relationship with positive reinforcement between student and teacher that makes 1 on 1 Yoga a success. Non-member class lessons are available for "come & go" students that buy class cards or Groupon Daily Deals for a predetermined number of classes. As ancient as Yoga is, there is nothing ancient about 1 on 1 Yoga's sales, marketing and business procedures. 1 on 1 Yoga employs a Relationship Selling program starting from the first phone inquiry, to a private lesson introductory course, to the annual membership and onward to the course renewal process. There is never any pressure selling. Properly handled, the financially secure customer experiencing the best will buy the best. Other membership programs exist for those who may be financially hampered. All aspects of private and class scheduling, student automatic payment collection and teacher payroll are handled via a proprietary student / business management software. All marketing and social media communications are centralized, co-opted and nonprofit. Incoming phone inquiries are handled from a central location for all franchised studios. Our Yoga Call Center sells, schedules and collects payment from the prospective student inquiry. 1 on 1 Yoga maintains a training facility in Miami Beach. All managers / franchisees and sales staff participate in a 70-hour, eight day sales and management training course covering the A to Z aspects of a successful private lesson centric Yoga studio. Location, location, location are the three most important elements of a successful business. 1 on 1 Yoga takes demographic studies very seriously. We have a formula of population density, per capita income and other factors that puts our franchisee in a location that services a population that can well afford the expense of a private lesson Yoga curriculum. We use professionals to assist in lease negotiations and contractor build-outs. Third party lease companies are available to finance flooring, furnishing, computer systems and signage to further reduce your initial investment.
