Zoo Health Club vs The Camp Transformation Center Franchise Comparison

The appeal of a Zoo Health Club is far-reaching. Demographic studies indicate that members will routinely travel up to ten miles to attend a given location. This level of customer interest and loyalty speaks volumes of our success. Each year, Zoo Health Clubs contribute to their communities by hosting and supporting cancer walks, marathons, and a variety of other events and activities. Such involvement makes Zoo locations popular gathering places for local and regional events. Such is the appeal of the Zoo Health Clubs. Members love to return time and again in order to enjoy the familiarity of their Zoo, with its clean facilities, helpful staff, immaculate equipment, and friendly environment. Since the early 1970s, Zoo Health Clubs have promoted a carefully balanced atmosphere that is both family-friendly and appealing to serious athletes. Everyone-from those seeking a general fitness program to hard-core body builders-find what they need at their Zoo. The Zoo's unique business model benefits both the franchisee and its members:

* Location, location, location! Convenient, easily accessible locations in secondary shopping centers make frequent visits routine for the entire family.

* Small- to medium-size locations limit lease costs and ensure a friendly, community-like environment.

* Low monthly fees attract and retain members.

* Top-of-the-line equipment offers a competitive edge and keeps members challenged.

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.
