Personal training centre transformed into E-Fit studio

A few years ago, Virgil and Annelies decided to make a change and start managing their personal training centre their way. What started as a personal training centre quickly grew into a thriving business with many options to expand in the future. Not long after, they decided to transform their training centre into an E-Fit studio. They are currently the proud owners of two successful E-Fit studios and there are two more being built

How it all began

To be inspired about expanding their personal training centre, Virgil and Annelies went to a fitness trade fair. During this trade fair, they came into contact with Andy, E-Fit’s CEO. Andy challenged them to try the E-Fit concept for themselves and get back in touch if they were convinced.

As an athlete, Virgil was very sceptical about the concept of EMS and E-Fit as these methods would reduce his workout sessions from 2 hours to just 20 minutes. However, the results were there and after just one session, Virgil and Annelies were convinced. They soon decided to include E-Fit in their business.

Transition support

Before the transition, Virgil and Annelies were professionally coached by E-Fit. They could count on:

  • An account manager that provides support in incorporating ideas;
  • A business coach that helps with growth and optimisation;
  • Masters courses organised by E-Fit;
  • Inspiration sessions with E-Fit’s case managers.

Higher returns thanks to E-Fit

The original target for using E-fit was 1-2 clients per day, but this target soon proved to be way too low. In a short amount of time, interest in E-Fit increased significantly after which Virgil and Annelies decided to transform their personal training centre into an E-Fit studio. 90% of their workouts now include E-Fit.

Virgil and Annelies were able to take the plunge so quickly because the return on investment using E-Fit is much higher than personal training. During personal training, one coach can only help one client per hour. With E-Fit, this is upped to three to four clients per hour.
With E-Fit, this is upped to three to four clients per hour. In only 20 minutes, they have completed an 18x more efficient workout than they would have using traditional personal training methods.

“We were originally a personal training centre but it soon became clear that the return on investment with E-Fit was much higher. We also see much faster results which is extra motivating.”

Success formula

The success of the E-Fit formula soon allowed Virgil and Annelies to open a second studio. They now rely on staff to manage their studios. For each studio, they employ one manager and a motivated coach. By handing over general operations, Virgil and Annelies have more time to focus on building their business and bringing in clients. They look forward to opening a third and fourth studio soon.
