According to Nick Robbins, COO and head of franchising for BASH, a day in the life of a franchisee can vary greatly. With a strong support team in place, BASH offers an absentee model, or as outlined below, an owner/operator model in which the franchisee is involved in day-to-day operations.

With strong but steady growth goals for 2022, BASH has plans to add another seven locations or more over the next year.

Here’s a glimpse into a day in the life at a BASH franchise:

Early-morning: BASH franchisees are free to design class schedules based on market demand, with the first class typically starting at 6 a.m. With their staff already on-site, owners have time to get their day in order – whether taking children to school, answering emails and inquiries, or organizing the day’s schedules.

Midmorning: Mornings at the studio are best spent working on business operations and development, marketing, and stakeholder management. According to Robbins: “We’re a huge community-focused brand, so a lot of time you’ll see our franchisees reaching out to other businesses in the community, setting up meetings, coffee chats, or just seeing if there are any opportunities for strategic partnerships or different events that benefit both parties.”

Noon: Every workout at BASH is designed to be an unforgettable experience; with lights, music and a performance delivered by a highly trained coach. Franchisees love to take a noon class. Robbins said: “It’s kind of the perfect midday boost.” The franchisee can not only get a workout but also experience and evaluate the product. They also conduct studio inspections, take inventory, and order retail items and amenities.

Midafternoon: This is the time to hold management meetings and spend time with the staff. Then franchisees are free to pick up children, attend events or practices and have dinner together with family.

Evening: Many franchisees return to the studio two to three times a week to help during the prime time of 6 to 8 p.m. This could mean working at the desk, coaching classes, or meeting members.
