Personal Training Fitness Franchise

Personal Training Institute is a unique organization offering customized one-on-one fitness and nutrition programs to individuals looking to improve their health and help them lose weight.

The concept was established in 1987 when Evelyn Knapp and Carol Kur co-founded a personalized strength training and weight loss facility. They demonstrated that training which targets muscle strength and optimal nutrition achieves better results in less time than the competitor programs. Relying on a combination of custom-tailored workout session, nutrition counseling, motivation techniques and best in the business exercise equipment, their programs offered great success to participants from first time exercisers to advanced athletes. This became the foundation for what is now the most prestigious and effective chain of exercise and nutrition centers backed by a skilled staff of certified personal trainers, nutritionists and business professionals.

Why Should I Invest in a PTI Franchise?

• PTI gets results. The Company's one-on-one, personal training environment combined with an 80% success rate supports higher revenue per member.
