About Look Good Naked

A Look Good Naked Franchise offers: A great brand name - who doesn't want to look good naked? The brand has been creative from its outset; it's not about looking good naked to "other people", looking good naked is about what we say to "ourselves". So, even though the name has a risque edge to it, the brand that is conveyed is empowering people to change from the inside-out. It also portrays our philosophy on nutrition; eating non-processed foods that are free of hormones, pesticides, and other toxins that can affect how our metabolism works - it's Looking Good - the Naked way. Great margins - Why spend thousands in overhead and take out large loans just to make 5-10% on your money? Look Good Naked boasts margins that are 4-10 times better than other businesses, making your time worth more. A scalable model - Look Good Naked attracts mostly those that want to own and operate their business. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that the business is limited in size. Look Good Naked can be run as small as 1 session per day taught solely by the owner, to several sessions run in several areas by subcontracted or hired trainers. The system is built to pay trainers very well. Nutrition Guidance - Look Good Naked has assembled a team of nutrition experts that provide nutritional education both in the initial classroom training and to the trainers through a weekly newsletter. Clients also receive access to nutrition information through our CRM and website, along with weekly newsletters with nutritional concepts, ideas and recipes. Flexible locations - All franchisees get protected territories, however, since the business goes where ever the trainer goes; the location of the workouts are limitless. Local parks, your back yard, churches, community centers, roof tops of buildings, fields, side roads, cul-de-sacs, basements, barns, corporate offices - the list goes on and on. Bring your boot camp anywhere to change the scenery. And, because businesses are not part of the protected territories, you can solicit boot camps to businesses anywhere you want!
