Welcyon, Fitness After 50, is an up-and-coming franchisor of health clubs designed specially for adults over 50 – filling a unique niche in the $22-billion U.S. health club industry.
Today, 100 million Americans – about 1 in 3 – are over 50, and this market grows by 4.5 million Baby Boomers annually. Welcyon is taking the lead in promoting healthy aging to this exploding market. If you’re looking to own your own business, we offer an opportunity to be part of a thriving industry, yet stand out with a differentiated brand capitalizing on a significant market gap.
Here’s our concept: Offer the best health club for adults over 50 by delivering a better experience and healthier results than traditional gyms. Include more of what boomers want and need, like hands-on supervision, interactive user-friendly equipment, effective workouts and a warm, welcoming environment. And back it with turnkey support to ensure our franchisees' success.
The formula works. Welcyon members on average are 50% stronger within three months of joining and double their strength in a year. Customer satisfaction is nearly twice the health club industry average. More than half our members either have never belonged to a health club or haven't belonged to one in at least seven years - evidence that we are creating a new market rather than fighting established brands on their turf.
That's why Entrepreneur magazine included us in its lineup of "innovative franchise opportunities."
Our vision is to redefine how America ages by improving the health and vitality of at least one million boomers. You can be a part of this movement by owning a business that speaks to your interest in healthy aging and helping others measurably improve their lives. It's an opportunity that sparks passion and brings purpose beyond profit.
If you're a forward thinker who relishes the role of game-changer in a proven industry, we invite you to contact us and take part in our Discovery Process.
