Scott’s Story
Scott began Fitness Enhancement as a 19 year old with just $400 and a passion for changing lives. After many years of the struggles many small businesses have, he decided to get serious about the business side of things and spend more time working ON it rather than IN it. Scott worked many long days and late nights figuring out the exact recipe for success to help take his company to the next level. This hard work and dedication paid off, with Fitness Enhancement becoming the largest Personal Training company in Queensland. The Queensland success served as great proof of concept for franchising across Australia. Just two short years from the first franchise being sold and Fitness Enhancement now has 11 franchises (10 franchisees plus Scott’s own franchise) across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
Award winner
As a finalist in the Young Entrepreneurs Awards for the past three years Scott has finally taken out the top award in the Health and Fitness category. The opening of three new franchises just before the awards pushing the company to 11 in total helped secure Scott the hotly contested win. Scott says:
“Breaking the milestone of 10 franchisees has been a huge goal of ours, so it’s even more exciting to have this acknowledged with the award. However the biggest honour is the fact that we have so many franchisees trusting us with their business success and so many clients trusting us with their health. I couldn’t be prouder of the success they are all having”
Amazing team
In addition to the enthusiastic team of franchisees growing the business, Scott attributes much of his success to his amazing, loyal, long-term clients, some of whom he has had Training since Fitness Enhancement first opened it’s doors back in 1999. Over those years the Gold Coast studio has seen many changes to become the first-class facility it is today, but always continued to provide the highest level of customer service and excellent Training sessions. Of course all those wonderful clients could not have achieved their goals and kept coming back week in and week out without the guidance, support, accountability and motivation of the fabulous Trainers we have working in our 100% private Studios and as Mobile Trainers visiting clients in their homes. It’s very rare to have such a knowledgeable, cohesive, successful group of people all working together towards a common goal – changing people’s lives for the better.
“I want to extend my thanks each and every person who has contributed to the success of Fitness Enhancement so far. Whether you are a client past or present, a Trainer, a franchisee, or anything in between, we couldn’t have done it without you. Behind every successful entrepreneur is a great team and i’m honoured to have such a great team of people with me.”
