Our company began with one woman with a powerful sweet tooth and a weight problem to match. She tried every program and every product but nothing gave her the results she was seeking.
Her name is Maureen Sullivan, the founder of Lite for Life. Her frustration with the available methods of losing weight lead her to the work of a pioneering physician named Seale Harris. Dr. Harris performed studies on blood sugar and he concluded that the key to long-term weight loss was learning to eat in a way that stabilized blood sugar. Dr. Harris found that if blood sugar levels were kept in a stable range, that cravings disappeared and that it was actually easy to reach and maintain an optimal weight.
After studying the work of Dr. Harris, all the pieces came together and Maureen Sullivan knew what she had to do. She created a weight loss company based on the work of Seale Harris. That company is Lite for Life.
The company currently distributes its programs and products from 14 locations; we are expanding nationwide from our Northern California base. The Lite for Life program recognizes that nothing builds motivation for success better than personal support and counseling. Our centers are conveniently located so you can visit your counselor as much as you need to get the results you want.
NO LONGER FRANCHISING
Franchising allows you to be in control of your own destiny with a proven successful system developed by experts. You will continuously receive operational support and on-going training support. You have a "Partner" in your business to help you every step of the way.
The fitness franchise industry continues to flourish. Between the years 2000 and 2005 IHRSA (International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association) shows a 144% positive growth in the franchise fitness industry. There has also been an explosive unit growth of small format clubs in the franchising industry. Club Industry's Fitness Business Magazine stated that "Smaller format clubs tend to have more convenient locations and focus on a particular customer niche-women only, one on one training, and fitness only".
