WHY CHOOSE URGE?
HOW IS URGE FITNESS DIFFERENT?
URGE is a family-owned company that delivers an opportunity to change people’s lives, creating healthier and happier communities. Unlike URGE, most of the franchises in this industry have the same concept – Cheap to join, rack ’em in and move on. Not URGE. We follow the concept of quality over quantity. We are NOT a “dollar club” and we’re certainly not the most expensive. We fall right in the sweet spot.
WE PROVIDE AN UPSCALE FITNESS EXPERIENCE AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE.
Our success comes from our quality members who see the value of our product – people who are tired of the overcrowded clubs, dirty environment, and broken equipment. People who want to be part of a family environment and a better fitness experience.
WE GIVE YOU THE TOOLS TO LEAD YOU TO SUCCESS.
Strategically placed locations, Solid marketing plan, Professional Sales presentation, 5-star cleaning protocols, best floor plan layouts, most variety of equipment, untouchable group class program, and bring the kids philosophy is why! Plus, we don’t have all those bubble gum colors all the other gym franchises have. YUCK! When you join URGE FITNESS as a franchisee, you become part of a team. You’ll connect and learn and work directly with senior leaders and industry experts in their respective fields, all of whom are focused on your results.
WHY THE FITNESS INDUSTRY?
