Illuminate Gym Franchise Development is always keeping up with the latest health related statistics because our business either in our gym or on the franchise development side are impacted directly. Over the past few months theories and statistics to support these theories have been making their way to health journals and into the national media. The newest theory is that the next generation of Americans will actually have a lower life expectancy than their parents. This is the first time this has ever happened in the history of America (where the life expectancy of American children are less than their parents regardless of war, plague, or any other natural disasters). This is extremely shocking as medicine and health care have advanced so much, however, when you really think about it is it really that shocking? Children aren’t as active as they once were with the development of television, computers and other electronic gaming systems and then our diet has also started to really decline over the past decades. Fast-food has become the norm rather than a treat. I also beleive that with the big decline in the economy we will start to see people consuming even more fast-food over the next several years as it is expensive to eat healthy, organic, fresh foods. Obesity is becoming an epidemic in this country and if we don’t make changes soon it will only get worse and worse.
Thanks so much for reading the blog here at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development please come back again and again to read about all the latest fitness franchise news. Thanks again and have a healthy day! And look out for your kids and what they are eating.

A lot has changed over the past 10 years since September 11th 2011. In fact, Illuminate Gym and Illuminate Gym Franchise Development was born during this time period. Over the weekend all the media coverage of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 brought about some very powerful memories for me. In many ways I would tell you that Illuminate Gym and our franchise model were born because of the events of September 11th. During that day I found myself living in a city I didn’t want to live in and working a job that I really didn’t want. In other words, September 11th made me re-think my entire life realizing that life is a fleeting thing that can be stripped from us at any time. I think after the anger of the attacks had left me the lasting feeling I had was one of longing for the life I always wanted. I wanted a life that was fulfilling and that’s when I decided I wanted to help people to a healthier future and to feel better about themselves. That’s when Illuminate Gym was conceived.
Today Illuminate Gym Franchise Development is offering fitness franchises across the United States and we are finding people just like I was after 9/11 who are ready to make a change in their life for the better. They are sometimes people like I was who are working in a job as far from the fitness industry as possible who are looking to get into a a wellness career they can be passionate about via Illuminate Gym Franchise Development. Some of them are already fitness professionals or personal trainers who are looking to get into a fitness franchise or a personal training franchise to help build a better future for both themselves and their families. Whatever the reason it’s important that we all live the lives we want to live as we only get one chance at this life. Maybe it’s time you look at a career change. Maybe you are a person that wants to take your destiny into your own hands with a fitness franchise like Illuminate Gym.
If you are interested in a fitness franchise, a gym franchise, or a personal training franchise then please give us a call or contact Illuminate Gym Franchise Development via this site. Thanks so much and have a healthy day and let’s never forget the events on September 11, 2011.

I see so many fitness franchises popping up around the country and they are missing the boat on what is really going on in the fitness franchise world and really the fitness industry as whole. You see the thing is that fitness is not the greatest issue facing Americans. Don’t get me wrong fitness should a major concern of all Americans because it is a severe issue. However, the biggest issue facing our nation’s health is what we are putting in our mouths. We have found at our Illuminate Gym franchise locations that a little focus to nutrition with our customers can make all the difference in the world. The truth of the matter is we only see most of our customers for a few hours a week and unfortunately, we can’t be the voice of reason when our clients see that fast-food franchise as they drive down the street or be the stop sign as they make their way down the doughnut isle at the grocery store. However, at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development we are committed to at least educating our clientele about the basics of nutrition and how to lose and keep the weight off.
This is one of the basic aspects of the Illuminate Gym Franchise model that separates us from our competitors. Today many fitness franchises believe that key to success is in larger group training settings. However, at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development we believe the real success of a fitness franchise concept lies in getting results for your customers. Fitness franchises shouldn’t just be about gathering money or else they will undoubtedly fail. Fitness franchises that will stand the test of time will be fitness franchise concepts that make a difference in changing their customers’ lives. Thanks so much for reading the blog here at www.illuminategym.com. You can also check out more fitness franchise and gym franchise news at www.gymfranchises.net. Thanks and have a healthy day!

So according to MSN yesterday Americans are consuming more hamburgers then they ever have before! A new poll is not stating that over 48% of Americans polled eat a hamburger at least once a week. In 2009 only 38% of people polled ate one hamburger a week. This number is really staggering to us here at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development because I never would have guessed the number was that high. According to the article there are two major factors that are causing this increase in hamburger consumption across the nation. The first is that there has been an increase in the new ‘better-burger’ restaurants that have started to make their mark on the restaurant industry in America, and by the way fast-food burger joints are not losing any business. The second variable is the price point of the burger is still good in a failing economy. Let’s face it hamburgers are filling and they are very inexpensive.
Here at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development these are the exact sort of numbers that stand in the way of America becoming more fit. The hamburger is a food item we have spoken about multiple times here at www.illuminategym.com and wwwgymfranchises.net because it can become one of the worst foods for you because of the mixture of simple carbohydrates (in the bun) and saturated fats (in the burger itself). At Illuminate Gym our franchise owners and personal trainers strive to keep our clients away from this type of food. There are healthier foods out there that are also inexpensive. Make healthy decisions and please if you are interested in a gym franchise, a fitness franchise or a personal training franchise then please contact us here at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development.

Fads always find a way into our lives through music, fashion and yes even through fitness. This is a topic we have taken on before here at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development, but it’s a topic that people really need to consider if they are planning on getting into the fitness franchise industry. The reason is because if you are looking to open your own fitness franchise or gym franchise you have to make sure that you are opening a business that is viable for years to come and is not just a fleeting fitness fad or gimmick that will be out of style in a few years. Keep in mind as a fitness franchise owner that you will be signing a 10 year commitment and more importantly you will be signing a 5-10 year lease with a landlord. In other words, a fad fitness franchise is probably not the best option for you as a perspective franchisee because it could leave you with a failed business in a few years.
At Illuminate Gym Franchise Development we are committed to using tactics and principles that have been proven over decades inside of the fitness industry. The way we separate ourselves from other fitness franchises or fitness philosophies is how we deliver this education and service to our customers. If you are interested in hearing more about our exciting fitness franchise opportunities here at Illuminate Gym Franchise Development then please contact us through this site or give us a call directly. Thanks so much.

Many experts say that the newest generation of Americans has a lower life expectancy than the generation before. This is the first time this hypothesis has been made and it’s not because of war or even over population. It’s because we’re getting fat and out of shape. People in the United States and around the world have watched as their activity level has continued to decline while their eating habits have become worse. It is my theory that people have no idea how much activity they need in a day and they certainly have no idea how to eat correctly. Now according to most health experts and doctors each person needs to be active at least 20 minutes of every day to be considered healthy. I think we all know that 20 minutes does not sound like that great of a investment in time however, many people are having issues keeping up with even this time commitment to their personal fitness. Outside of activity level the biggest issue facing our newer generations is their eating habits. As a fitness franchise our personal trainers at all of our Illuminate Gym franchise locations struggle with their customers’ diets because the success of our fitness franchise model largely rests on the success of our personal trainers getting their customers results. However, no matter how hard a client works out at an Illuminate Gym franchise location it’s impossible to provide results if our customers continue to eat poorly. The two major issues we see with our customers at Illuminate Gym are listed below:
1. People really have no idea what they are putting into their mouths. How much sugar? How much fat? How much saturated fat? How much sodium? and How many Calories? People really have no idea what they are eating. Shocking!!!
2. Portion Control. It’s really hard to know how to control your portions if you have no idea what a portion of the food you are eating is. ’Too much of a bad thing is in fact not good’
Thanks so much for reading the blog here at www.illuminategym.com. Please keep coming back and checking us out here or at www.gymfranchises.net to read more about the fitness franchise industry and specifically Illuminate Gym Franchise Development.

Denver, Colorado is of course where the Illuminate Gym Franchise Concept began and we think it’s important we remember our original locations at www.sunshinegym.com and www.illuminategym.com. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the people of the Hilltop, Denver, Cherry Creek and Crestmour neighborhoods for supporting Illuminate Gym for so many years. As Illuminate Gym Franchise Development begins to develop across the country we think it’s important that we don’t forget we are from which is Denver, Colorado. Thanks so much for your time and again please check out www.sunshinegym.com to see where it all began for Illuminate Gym.
Have a healthy day!
