Company Overviews

About The Camp Transformation Center

The Camp Transformation Center was started in 2010 by Saman Bakhtiar, Luis Font and Alejandra Font in Southern California. After finding inspiration in Sam’s personal training gym, Luis and Alejandra approached Sam about a partnership to build a new fitness concept aimed at fostering communities and changing attitudes.
The Camp Transformation Center was then officially established, and as a group, Sam, Luis and Alejandra grew the brand. The original plan was for them to continue to grow the business as company-owned locations. However, soon after opening a number of locations, clients began approaching them about opening their own facility, leading the brand to franchise in February 2017. Since franchising, the brand has more than 100 locations open or in development and just announced a growth initiative to expand into new territories.

The Camp Transformation Center has more than 100 locations open or in development across 13 states and Mexico. Each gym employs the company’s signature Challenge, a six-week initial entry point for members, which aims to be a transformative moment in the lives of those who join and a launching pad for long-term membership. The Camp Transformation Center is known for its enthusiastic staff members, a clean environment, an open, spacious, and colorful design, nutrition and supplement plans, and fitness training that is motivating and affordable.
