Real voices from our network — personal insights into founding, collaboration, and growing with fitbox.
As a long-time EMS user, I wanted to be more than just a member — and today, alongside my job as a purser, I run three fitbox studios. Especially during the challenging Corona start-up phase, the franchise system proved to be invaluable: from the business plan to financing, the support was outstanding. For the opening in Wolfsburg, members even came from Braunschweig.
I looked into almost every EMS system out there — and with fitbox I instantly had the best gut feeling: a clear concept and enough freedom for my own ideas. A lot of the work around the website, layouts, and back office is taken care of, which allowed me to focus fully on our members and my team. Today, I’m growing with a studio I’m truly proud of.
Sports have always been a big part of our lives, so we wanted to build something of our own together. We discovered fitbox on Instagram — and the concept and EMS approach won us over immediately. From finding the right location to solving day-to-day challenges, we had professionals by our side every step of the way. We live and breathe our personal-training philosophy — once fitbox, always fitbox.
I come from the IT sector and at 24 I’m opening my first fitbox in Oldenburg. For me, it was clear: I no longer wanted to work for someone else’s goals. In the franchise system, I found a strong brand and a team that supported me closely from location search to opening — there was always someone there to help with any question.
I originally come from the automotive industry, but my passion has always been sports. After my first EMS training session, it became clear: this is what I want to build my own business with. As a fitbox franchise partner, I can rely on proven processes, avoid mistakes, and fully focus on my members.
I originally come from office communication and social sciences — and in my fitbox in Krefeld, I found my true calling. Thanks to the franchise system, I’m not alone as an entrepreneur, trainer, marketing manager, and accountant; instead, I can rely on a strong team and a wealth of experience. Despite a turbulent start-up phase and the challenges of Covid, I would choose fitbox again any time.
