Just ask any of our tens of thousands of club members. As soon as they laid eyes on a Fit Zone for Women health club, they knew it was exactly what they had been looking for. That is why most of our franchisees were originally members of a Fit Zone For Women club! Fit Zone For Women is the ONLY health club that was designed exclusively for women, by women. Gretchen Shannon, our President and CEO, along with a panel of female health experts, designed Fit Zone For Women to be the only full facility health club for women. From the exclusive Nautilus For Women strength training equipment to our cardio machines and group exercise classes, Fit Zone is a REAL HEALTH CLUB, just without men. This is why Fit Zone For Women is one of the fastest growing health club franchises in the United States today.
Athletic Republic is the new name of Frappier Acceleration Sports Training. We are 160 facilities (and growing!) nationwide and internationally. The pioneering programs and patented equipment used in Athletic Republic's training centers were developed over the preceding two decades by Athletic Republic President, John Frappier, M.S., Exercise Physiology, and our Chief Officer of Science and Technology, Steve Swanson, M.S., Biomechanics.
