World’s Largest In-Home Fitness Franchise Strengthens Presence in Central Ohio, Sets Stage for Expansion in Additional Target DMAs.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — GYMGUYZ, the world’s largest in-home and on-site personal training franchise, has announced a newly signed agreement set to bring its services to the North Columbus area. The rapidly-growing brand also plans to expand deeper into Cleveland and Cincinnati, and just announced the addition of stretching services to its locations across the country.

The new North Columbus location, owned and operated by local entrepreneur, Dave Dulin, will be hosting a grand opening event on Wednesday, September 27^th at 5:00 pm at Rose Run Park in New Albany, Ohio. Co-sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association, there will be a ribbon cutting facilitated by New Albany Chamber of Commerce and an opportunity to make a voluntary charitable donation to the Alzheimer’s Association for participation in a group activity.

Dulin was born and raised in central Ohio. He earned a degree in Finance from Ohio State University before earning a Master’s Degree in Criminology from Xavier University, and has always been physically active. His daily routine consists of weight training, cardiovascular exercise, and healthy eating. It is this passion for a healthy lifestyle that fueled his desire to help others via his new GYMGUYZ franchise.

“The central Ohio area has grown tremendously over the past few decades, and the need for in-home and onsite fitness trainers has definitely grown alongside it,” said Dulin. “With a family history of dementia, I’ve always prioritized being physically active as part of my preventative plan. Sometimes, people just need the right personal trainer to truly hold them accountable, and I look forward to bringing GYMGUYZ to my community. Not to mention, our in-home and onsite fitness instruction can be an important part of corporate wellness programs throughout the area, so we are looking forward to serving the Columbus business community as well.”

Founded by Josh York, who created the concept in his parent’s dining room before scaling it to the world’s largest in-home fitness franchise, GYMGUYZ prides itself on its ability to help customers stay accountable to their fitness goals.

With a 15-year strong business model, GYMGUYZ is transforming lives every day by offering convenient, customized, and creative workouts. Clients and companies in over 1,100 cities are being delivered a Certified Personal Trainer, state-of-the art equipment, and tailored workouts right to their homes, offices, corporate campuses, or other settings.

“The GYMGUYZ franchise model offers hands-on training, assistance with business planning, and comprehensive marketing support. We use an analytical approach to help our franchise owners proactively manage their business, and deliver the high level of service we expect from all of our locations,” said Josh York, Founder & CEO of GYMGUYZ. “As we continue to attract fitness-minded owners like Dave to our franchise system, we plan to have a strong presence of red GYMGUYZ vans across central Ohio and surrounding areas by the end of the year.”

As demand for in-home services increases across Ohio, GYMGUYZ, is actively seeking qualified single and multi-territory franchisees who are looking to help change lives through convenient, customized and creative workouts. Due to its success in the consumer market, GYMGUYZ also began offering fitness services to major corporations, schools, hospitals, government agencies, and residential communities several years ago. Prospective franchisees do not need to have a fitness background to be considered.

Chhotoo joined forces with two young entrepreneurs, Zain Attawala and Sagar Panjwani, to build the first Store of the Future center, proudly displaying the sign “Done Fast. Done Right.™” on the top right of the building. This is a visible reminder of the dedication to excellence, and resonates deeply with the commitment to providing efficient and high-quality services.

“Opening the first Store of the Future location is an honor,” said Salim Chhotoo. “We are very happy to open our first Grease Monkey store in Warner Robins, Georgia, which is the ‘Home of Planes, Trains, and Heroes.’ The new features will attract and retain loyal customers because of the advanced streamlined operations and quality lounge areas created with the customer in mind. Our quality and quick service is now paired with a design and ease that will benefit everyone.”

The community is invited to celebrate the new store on Thursday, August 3, for the Ribbon Cutting ceremony at 4:00 pm. The three-day Grand Opening event will be filled with fun activities including food, drinks, giveaways, and a chance to win many great prizes with ‘spin the wheel with every oil change’ on the event days.

The appearance of facilities in the auto aftermarket repair industry has been largely untouched for years, making FullSpeed’s all new models for both Grease Monkey and SpeeDee a revolutionary move in an effort to modernize the industry. The Store of the Future models were designed by renowned design firm Studio|H2G from Detroit, Michigan. These instantly identifiable façades help both brands stand out from the competition: Done Fast. Done Right.™ (Grease Monkey) and Total Trust Guarantee® (SpeeDee).

Key features of the new store include new express lanes with a 15-minute stay-in-the-car model; clear and directional signage on the parking lot to bring ease to the consumer; all new comfortable lounge areas and patio seating with refreshments and entertainment for units that already provide additional services; plus, state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence that will educate, inform, and streamline the customer experience.

“The first Store of the Future location built out extremely well,” said Ron Stilwell, President, FullSpeed Automotive. “Although the location is new, we have received many compliments from customers about the design and ease of service. We anticipate even more positive feedback, and are excited to continue rolling out the new store prototypes across the country.”

FullSpeed Automotive is looking to bring on qualified and engaged individuals seeking single, multi-unit, and conversion opportunities. When franchisees invest with FullSpeed Automotive brands, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and proven business models backed with 70+ years of experience in providing quality car care in the industry.
