In 2007, fitness industry revenues nationwide totaled $18.5 billion, and in January 2008, 41.5 million people in the United States belonged to a health club, according to the International Health Racquet & Sportsclub Association.

The franchise industry also is flourishing. In 2005, all types of franchised businesses provided 11 million jobs, met a $278.6 billion payroll and contributed $880.9 billion to the U.S. economy, an International Franchise Association study says. The association also lists health and sports as two of the fastest-growing franchise concepts from 2000 to 2006.

LA Boxing is no exception. In July 2008, the IHRSA ranked LA Boxing ninth among the top 25 fastest-growing fitness companies. From 2006 to 2007, LA Boxing expanded the number of its locations by 80%.

As a franchise owner, you will profit from LA Boxing’s fast-growing fitness concept based on the solid, centuries-long foundation of boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
