From: Pat Rigsby President - Athletic Revolution International Date: Tuesday 2:50 pm RE: Starting Your Own Youth Fitness & Sports Performance Franchise Our Team is Growing Internationally... And I Want You On it If you have ever been interested in opening your own business and making a difference within your community.then all I ask is for you to give me a few moments of your time.

I think I have the exact opportunity you’ve been searching for – and in about 7 minutes, you’re going to find out if I’m right about that.

First, I want to introduce myself: My name is Pat Rigsby and I am the President of a franchise working to revolutionize the youth fitness and sports performance industry: Athletic Revolution.

Currently, I am the co-owner of several businesses in the fitness industry including the International Youth Conditioning Association and the personal training industry’s leading consulting company, The Fitness Consulting Group.

Through my consulting, coaching programs and products I have several coaching products I have helped thousands of fitness professionals and facility owners dramatically improve their businesses…. as well as their bottom lines.

I have been involved in virtually all aspects of the fitness industry, but there is one main area that I am focusing my attention and my efforts on... Youth Fitness and Sports Performance.

In fact, that’s what drove me into the fitness industry.

I was a coach, just like you.

I’ve worked with thousands of young athletes over the years and even was a very successful collegiate head baseball coach.

I really have seen and done it all in this industry.

And all that experience has led me to knowing with complete certainty that your dream career is not-at-all too far out of reach.

How Can What I Know to Be True Help You Live Your Dreams?

If you have ever dreamed of running your own, successful fitness business, then I can help.

As childhood obesity rates rise, parents are eagerly searching for a way to get their kids to stay active. Parents are desperate for fitness professionals to teach them the values of staying healthy.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine and numerous other sources both inside and outside the fitness industry, the youth fitness and sport training market is on an upward surge worldwide and is considered one of the fastest growing, most lucrative and most stable niches in this entire industry.

The Wall Street Journal also states that over $4 billion is spent every year on personalized training and coaching for children and adolescents in the United States alone.

More than 1 million youths and teens hired personal trainers in 2006 for reasons ranging from fitness and obesity prevention to sports performance and general wellness.

And with recent cutbacks to physical education in schools nationwide, there is no question that the youth fitness and sport training industry is the single greatest opportunity for personal trainers and fitness professionals to build sustainable and profitable careers. .

But if you think about your community, and most cities surrounding you, you will see that there is a massive void in the market.

Very few gyms are accommodating for children between the ages of 6 – 18.

Very few fitness professionals have the right information and training to help these children stay active, stay healthy and stay interested.

An incredibly open market with vast potential and limitless opportunity… yet NO ONE is really doing much with it.

I have noticed this void in the market... and after years of research, development and market testing I along with the other founders of Athletic Revolution have finally created the perfect business model that successfully fills this void.

Why is Athletic Revolution Your Golden Ticket to the Career and Business You’ve Always Wanted?

• This is your chance to have a career- and a business – instead of just a J-O-B • This is your chance to make a difference in your community and improve the health of kids in your town • This is your chance to experience financial fulfillment and freedom • This is your ONE opportunity to stop the exhausting insanity of your work

You have no financial security or freedom, you can’t take time off because if you do, you don’t get paid --- I know, I’ve been there --and the long hours on the field or gym floor are really taking their toll on the rest of your life.

The Athletic Revolution franchise is a complete blueprint to opening and successfully running your very own youth fitness and sport training business.

Founded in 2008, Athletic Revolution was started by myself, VP of Operations Nick Berry, VP of Technology Sara Nylander and international youth coaching icon, Brian Grasso.

Each member of our founding team has extensive backgrounds in sports performance and in effectively training young athletes.

• As I already mentioned, I’ve coached thousands of young athletes and was one of the most successful small college baseball coaches in the country for almost a decade.

Franchises Are Limited By Locations Before we begin talks about your Athletic Revolution franchise, we will have to check your community for other franchisees.

It would not be fair to you, or any of our other franchisees, if we allowed more than one Athletic Revolution to open in any given area. It would simply increase your competition, limit your profits and diminish our brand.

And if there is one thing that we pride ourselves on here at Athletic Revolution, it’s quality.

We want to ensure that every Athletic Revolution meets our standards and provides you with a thriving, successful business you can be proud to own.

And that is exactly why we must limit the number of Athletic Revolution franchises in each community to ONE – Our assurances of quality will lead to market domination for you.

As an Athletic Revolution franchisee, you will be given a protected territory. That territory ensures that no other franchise will be placed in that area. The territory is defined by the demographic makeup of your area, so we can ensure that you have a healthy market within your territory.

Once you pass the evaluation process, it will be first come, first serve... so if you are interested, I recommend you contact us today and see if your community is still an available market – or if your competition has already staked their claim.

This really is the first step. I do not want to get your hopes up if it is impossible for you to become a member of the Athletic Revolution family. So check now and discover if this is even an option for you!

Business has become too competitive to go alone.

Think of all the businesses you will be competing against – they are all established, they all have set practices and they have a solid base of athletes.

Even if you are offering something new, something different or a higher quality of service, you still have to start from the ground and try to work your way up. In this economic climate, that is almost impossible without the help of a larger, established organization.

Marketing a new business is expensive, challenging and complicated.

The #1 thing that most new business owner never stop to think about is marketing... and it always comes back to haunt them in the end.

Marketing can make or break your business, and making just one mistake with your marketing budget can simply cripple your business’s budget.

That is why we provide all new franchisees with the training, the marketing plans and the step-by-step information they need to get the most effective marketing for a minimal cost – we know this system works because we’ve used it ourselves!
