YAS Fitness Centers Courting Fit Female Executives for Women-Owned Franchise Opportunity
Venice, Calif. (PRWEB) January 8, 2008 -- Los Angeles-based YAS Fitness Centers, known nationwide for creating the hottest Yoga hybrid in the fitness industry, is franchising.
"A job is just a job unless you are doing what you love, what you are passionate about," says Kimberly Fowler, YAS founder. "I'm looking for entrepreneurial spirits who want to make a difference in people's lives."
Fowler herself "just jumped" from the corporate world six years ago when she went from being COO and general counsel of a $200-million dollar vitamin company to create YAS. Now, she's also become a fitness icon, a spokeswoman for NIKE and a motivational speaker.
YAS Franchise Inc is the newest of Fowler's four YAS branded-fitness-related companies. The combined earnings put her in the top 3 percent of women-owned businesses nationwide. Women dominate at YAS. Of its 30 employees, 28 are women.
Based in Venice, California, the fitness capital of the world, what makes YAS unique is it's "New Spin on Yoga." The YAS class mixes indoor cycling with Fowler's signature Yoga for Athletes® class, which was called "Zen on Wheels" by Self magazine. YAS Fitness Centers have been featured in numerous fitness and women's magazines.
Yoga itself is a $4-billion dollar industry and yoga hybrids are the fastest growing aspect of the yoga industry. As a trend-setter, Fowler and YAS Fitness Centers are at the forefront. But it's not only about making money.
"YAS Fitness Centers (www.go2yas.com) care about more than just creating a hip space for people to workout," says Fowler. "We care about the community we go into and the world we live in." As a YAS Fitness Center Franchisee you will have an opportunity to truly make a positive difference in people's lives.
Fowler says she's only interested in executives who have their heart in fitness and who want to be actively involved in the franchise. "We are looking for people who are into fitness themselves and we will only sell to owner/operators," says Fowler. "We want people who want to not only run but also be involved in their own business."
About YAS Fitness Centers: YAS Fitness Centers are cutting edge, hip and welcoming fitness centers that together have a tremendous impact on global health and wellness. They are dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of their members and the communities in which they are located.
Interview Requests: Kimberly Fowler is available for television, radio or newspaper interviews.

You would be surprised with the number of different ways that individuals are trying to lose weight. Unfortunately, many of them do not meet with much success because they are simply not something that can be applied for the long-term. For example, depriving yourself of certain types of foods simply to lose weight can be very effective but it is not something that you would want to do for the rest of your life. Instead of going with a low carbohydrate or a low-fat diet, why not simply find a way to eat less of the foods that you should eat? The reason is many people find this to be almost impossible to maintain. That is, of course, unless you choose an appetite suppressant such as Hoodia Gordonii.
