About Fitness Machine Technicians

At Fitness Machine Technicians, we pride ourselves on offering aspiring business owners the opportunity to build their franchise quickly and efficiently so they can thrive in their new career path.
As a service based franchise, we don’t have many of the expenses that burden the brick and mortar franchise owners. The benefits are:
  • You can work from a home-based office or small leased space (500sf).
  • You can lease or buy your technicians’ field vehicles.
  • Inventory is on demand direct from suppliers as needed for repairs, so minimal storage space is needed.

#208 in Franchise 500 for 2021.  Not in Franchise 500 for 2020.
