ISI® Elite Training Franchise
ISI® Elite Training focuses on athletic-based group training with community-driven programming. The model encourages consistent client results in a supportive, high-energy environment.
The Numbers
Business Overview
ISI® Elite Training offers coach-led, strength-focused, high-intensity 50-minute workouts that burn up to 1,000 calories through functional athletic training. The “Iron Sharpens Iron” philosophy promotes community, accountability, and life-impacting fitness. Since franchising in 2019, ISI has quickly grown to 42 units, supported by clean, modern facilities and expert coaches.
Franchise Opportunity
ISI’s model combines boutique-level retention with scalable operations. Franchisees receive full site support, build-out planning, coach certifications, marketing systems, and ongoing brand support, starting on day one. Both hands-on and semi-passive ownership pathways are possible. The model's efficiency (2,400–3,200 sq ft studios) helps optimize costs and drive profit.
Ideal Candidate
Best for entrepreneurial-minded fitness advocates, former athletes, coaches, or community leaders with strong communication and team-building skills. While a hands-on owner adds maximum value, semi-absentee options are available with proper management hires.
