About Extreme Gym

There are a number of reasons why the Extreme Gym franchise is a far smarter choice than other fitness franchising programs or trying to obtain a club on your own. Primarily the lower initial cost and lower ongoing monthly fee. However, there are also virtually no controls or restrictions, no reporting requirements, no non-competition agreements, and no performance criteria with us as compared to other gym franchises. In regards to some of the world's most expensive fitness franchises, franchisees often find themselves sinking their entire life savings into the business or taking out huge loans only to wait many years for profitability. The Extreme Gym program is 1/6 to 1/4 the cost so you start profiting in months.
