Scott Hunt - From $400 to one of Australia's largest Personal Training businesses
Scott Hunt started Fitness Enhancement Personal Training on the Gold Coast in 1999 on just $400 as a 19-year-old.
Today his award-winning company is one of the largest in its category and is across most of Australia.
Find out how a niche of 100% private Personal Training through Studios and Mobiles Personal Trainers has helped differentiate and grow the brand in a crowded market.
Learn how looking after Trainers who work directly for the brand or own their own franchise has helped give them the career they deserve, which in turn gives clients more success.
Hear why Trainers who struggle to build their own business or want to grow bigger than what Gym rent will allow them to are ideally suited to becoming a Fitness Enhancement franchisee.
