"The major brands within the weight loss industry DENY its clients on-site exercise and women's gyms ALLOW clients who are expecting to lose weight to come and go as they please. Our unique 3-Phase method focuses on our clients weight loss results and a lasting lifestyle change they deserve.

A SOLID INVESTMENT - INCHES-A-WEIGH!
Owners enjoy the features inherent to a very lucrative industry. 60% of Americans are considered overweight! A low start-up cost combined with a low weekly break even point with only one (1) Key Center Director generating the revenue on your behalf.
It doesn't get better than this in self employment!
Simply put...Weight Loss Clients invest more to achieve their Personal Goal Weight since NO two clients have the same amount of weight to lose. 90% of Weight Watchers and Jenny Craigs revenue is a female dollar and yet the owners will either supplement, transition, replace or completely breakaway from their career.

The Perfect Business
Out of 10 owners, generally, 4 are husband and wife management teams, 3 are manage-the-manager and 3 are owner-operated by individuals who have a daily passion for health, fitness, nutrition, or wellness. We all truly enjoy people and the social atmosphere of Inches-A-Weigh centers.
Owner-Operated
This individual has unique and personal interests that create a real passion to work with our clients on a one-on-one basis! This individual is often a former customer, health-care professional or a testimonial spokesperson for the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This individual will usually have the desire to work closely with our clients and staff through-
out the life of the business. A salary, commission and bonus position can be enjoyed by this owner in addition to the profit beyond the monthly break-even point. He or she may also employ and work alongside a staff to manage the business. This provides the flexibility to come and go from the business as desired, working from an office in the center.
Manage-the-Manager
This individual prefers to manage the business, NOT operate the business. This managing process is defined as having an office positioned in the rear of the center or a home-based office, both of which give the owner the flexibility to managerially come and go and create his/her own schedule. In addition, this individual can utilize his/her respective sales/market-
ing, operations or administrative experience. This individual will often recruit a spouse, partner, family member, or in many cases prefer the traditional methods of assembling a staff to grow the business. This form of ownership yields a strategic opportunity to manage multiple units and supplement or even replace your annual income.
Husband/Wife Management Team
The husband/wife teams use complementary skills and share in a division of labor. Generally, one spouse will enjoy the sales and marketing components, working with advertising representatives and the center director in the duties of sales management. The other spouse will enjoy the operations and service components of the exercise classes, weight loss, set-ups, weigh-ins, and paperwork while having the flexibility to enjoy the social aspects of the clientele. Usually, both partners will collectively represent a unified management culture to the staff. Either the husband or the wife will have special interests in the accounting aspect of the business.
