Fitness Leaders form Exclusive Partnership Phil Kaplan Endorses Fitness Together
Highlands Ranch, CO and Wellington, Florida (PRWeb) November 28, 2006 -- Rick Sikorski and Phil Kaplan, two of the fitness industry's most influential figures, recently announced an exclusive partnership.
Sikorski, founder/CEO of Fitness Together, the world's largest personal training organization, has grown one private, personal training studio to more than 280 Fitness Together franchise locations internationally. Kaplan, personal fitness guru and consumer advocate, has spoken before 100,000 fitness professionals throughout the world sharing success skills and strategies.
Sikorski, who responded to the public's need for an alternative to the large public gym model, when he first started his career, combined his love for fitness and his background in psychology. He turned a humble 400-square-foot private, personal training studio into the world's largest personal training organization. Fitness Together is a proven franchise system with international locations and two to three studios selling each week.
Kaplan is a published author whose works include The Best You've Ever Been, Personal Training Profits and a Secure Fitness Future and The Power of Champions, among others. He addresses 12,000 personal trainers each year in his seminars and more than 45,000 consumers in Breakthroughs, his transformation program for those seeking physical change. He also hosts Mind & Muscle Fitness Hour, a radio program in South Florida.
The duo will pool their expertise to groom personal trainers for 21st century business leadership. "Phil will help the trainers be the best they can, and I will help them launch their business to the next level," Sikorski said.
Kaplan is endorsing Fitness Together and recommending to his vast network that trainers should consider investing in a franchise. He is also offering a $2,500 credit toward the purchase of a Fitness Together franchise.
"Personal trainers must educate and empower their clients in order for them to find success. Thousands of men and women around the globe have benefited from Fitness Together's proven systems. If a trainer has any hint of entrepreneurial spirit, he or she absolutely must consider a FT franchise. The timing has never been better," Kaplan said.
