Highlands Ranch, CO (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 — Fitness Together Holdings, Inc. (FTHI) announced today a record number of new franchise sales. March 2008 represented their biggest month of the year in terms of franchise units sold, up 53% over February, 2008. February realized a 30% increase of units sold over January, the month prior.

FTHI offers two business models to people in search of a franchise opportunity in the wellness industry. Founded in Scottsdale, AZ in 1983, FTHI’s first business model is Fitness Together, which provides one-on-one personal training services in private suites. Fitness Together began franchising in 1996, and today they have over 400 studios in operation in 38 states and five countries. Fitness Together employs approximately 3000 personal trainers responsible for helping an average of 20,000 clients per week. Fitness Together has an additional 98 locations scheduled to open in the coming months.

FTHI’s second business model is elements therapeutic massage, which specializes in high-end massage services provided at a convenient, affordable price point. Founded by certified massage therapist Michele Merhib (CMT) in 2000, elements began franchising in 2006 and quickly sold 85 units.

FTHI had one of their strongest months in company history, selling 20 franchises in March of 2008. "Entrepreneurs looking to serve the wellness industry, either in fitness or therapeutic massage are the ideal fit for our business models," reports Sam Hirschberg, Vice President of Marketing for both Fitness Together Franchise Corporation and elements therapeutic massage, inc.

"We teach entrepreneurs at Franchise University how to put administration, operations and marketing systems to work for their business, rather than spending countless hours micro-managing," reports Hirschberg, who joined FTHI in 2007 after handling online and print marketing for ISSA, a school located in southern California with students in 84 countries. "Empowering franchisees to implement a systems-driven approach to daily operations combined with an aggressive marketing plan in their community are main reasons why our organization is experiencing such rapid growth," Hirschberg said.
