Vanguard Key Clubs Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Vanguard Key Clubs offers the most unique opportunity to operate one or multiple fully equipped gym locations without the burden of managing people.

No staff required means less time putting out fires caused by employees and focusing on the most important aspects of your business, the customers and the facilities.

Contractors can handle the heavy work while the owner/operator can handle the administrative functions, which estimated, could mean one person operating up to 15 locations alone...and still have time to enjoy all life has to offer, as most of the job can be done remotely if desired.

Once the facilities are built, the rest is easy. Take the business on vacation, do the work by the pool or wherever life's journey takes you. Contact us for more details, you won't regret it.

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
