...Anytime Fitness continues to “maintain robust growth rates as the world’s largest and fastest growing 24-hour co-ed fitness franchise since their founding in 2002” (Anytime Fitness, 2012). Whenever looking to enter a franchise agreement, startup costs become a vital point. Anytime Fitness’s website provides numerical figures for average startup costs for both a complete fitness center and a fitness express center which doesn’t have as much square feet or perks as a regular center; fitness center is between “$59,999 and $321,899 and an express center is between $46,299 to $210,999” (2012). Not only does Anytime Fitness offer affordable startup costs but an “online operations manual” is available once the agreement is entered. Having access to an online manual allows for a franchisee to take the lead and put in the effort necessary to create a successful franchise. In addition to online manual, Anytime Fitness also holds conference calls and webinars throughout the month to make sure everyone is up to par for their region and all franchises are operating properly. Perhaps the most intense feature and reason Anytime Fitness flourishes is the security and surveillance system in place. Because the security is so extensive it allows for members to come and go at their leisure. Having access 24 hours a day allows members to work with their schedule instead of plan the gym workout around their schedule. Another plus to having cameras and exclusive access by card only is the low...

...Eating healthy produce anytime Everybody likes to eat but not everyone likes the time it takes to cook. It is much easier to buy fast food or “open a can”, thus compromising our health and nutrition. With all the preparation time even eating becomes a chore. Chopping vegetables and fruit can be a discouraging tedious first step in the cooking process. The time it takes to cook them just as discouraging. While it is true fresh produce contains more nutrition than canned produce; frozen produce is very similar in nutritional value and is a convenient alternative. There are daily amounts of nutrients recommended for intake to help maintain our bodies. Produce provides us with some of these and fresh produce provides it in higher amounts than that provided when eating it from a can. Unfortunately, not all fresh produce is available year round and eating the same varieties that are available (these are called seasonal items) can become boring. The produce that you discover not in season is usually much higher in price and often lacks the proper nutrients because of early picking and shipping from miles away, including overseas. When buying fresh produce it is best to buy locally. Again this is because of the time it takes to transport most produce plays a significant role in how many nutrients are lost. According to Preston Andrews, PhD, a plant researcher and associate professor of horticulture at Washington State University, "The nutrients in most fruits and vegetables start to...

...organization will eliminate any room for error. In this day and age, most companies and organizations do not have any room to make any unnecessary mistakes. By making these unnecessary mistakes, the company and their business could be damaged for the long term. For example, Workout Anytime is a fitness facility who allows their business to dictate what is necessary to continue and expand business. The clients and members are the business of Workout Anytime and they are the ones whose feedback matters most for the business. The health and fitness industry is ever changing and would need constant feedback from their existing members, the general public and the targeted markets to continue being relevant to the consumers. This is exactly what Workout Anytime wants to accomplish with their targeted markets and will continue to do so to reach higher revenue for years to come. If Workout Anytime did not have a marketing research department, the business would not be working as efficiently as it possibly could. Workout Anytime would constantly be guessing what exactly would make their business stand out aside from all the other competition and appeal towards their targeted markets. The way Workout Anytime allows their customers to give feedback to better the fitness facility is through various surveys and suggestion boxes. This gives the clients and members of the gym facility a way to feel important to the business and allow them to...

...of outlets, a “clean and fresh bed” guarantee and a no-questions-asked money-back policy. The real coup for Hampton has been learning that its culture can translate internationally. In the past year, the brand has opened properties in London, Poland and Russia, raising its unit count to almost 2,000 hotels in 16 countries. On the horizon: China, where Hampton plans to open 400 hotels in the next several years. 2. Anytime Fitness Image credit: Anytime Fitness | Video Screenshot Just because Anytime Fitness slipped from first to second place in this year’s Franchise 500® doesn’t mean the 24-hour club chain has lost any of its mojo. In fact, 2014 was one of its most stellar years yet: Anytime signed up its 2 millionth member in January, before going on to open nearly 350 new gyms—the seventh year in a row it has topped the 300-unit mark. The expansion brings the company to almost 3,000 locations in all 50 states and in 20 countries, including, for the first time, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines. The boom will continue this year: Anytime estimates it will open another 350 units, pushing the fitness franchise—which had record revenue in 2014 of $900 million—into the billion-dollar club. 3....

...CVP And Break-Even Analysis Paper CVP And Break-Even Analysis Paper Looking into opening a small business can be a daunting task but, with various opportunities for buying into a franchise, becoming a small business owner seems to be a reality for some. Each franchise provides various information pieces about their franchise to attract new owners. When someone is looking to invest in a franchise, doing your own analysis to validate the information provided by the franchise is critical in understanding whether or not the franchise is going to be as profitable as you would like. One such franchise is Snap fitness out of Minnesota and knowing the fixed cost of operating the franchise we can determine how many members are needed to break even. Also included is an analysis of achieving a $10,000 net income for a month of operations. To be a valid analysis we have included five examples of variable cost associated with a fitness center. Variable Cost As the owners of a new business, our ultimate goal is to make a profit. Profit can be measured in many ways and there are many complex techniques that can be used to calculate how much of a product or service must be sold to produce a profit. Cost Volume Profit analysis or CVP is one of the most useful ways for managers to understand the relationship between cost, volume, and profits and make competent management decisions. CVP analysis focuses on five areas: • Unit selling prices • Variable cost per unit ...

But the system rating is unavailable. The computer is already running windows 7 Enterprise and having a 64-bit Operating system it is able for a clean installation to upgrade. And this is the reasons why. Being there is only one level above the enterprise it could only go to Ultimate. It also has the provided RAM for Ultimate and should have no problems upgrading through a clean installation. It can do this through a Anytime-upgrade this would be more simple because there is no disc required. Reason is because doing a Anytime upgrade is just activating the features that are already there. The way to do this would be to go thru the Start menu. Then you would proceed to all programs then select Windows Anytime Upgrade. You will also need to go to the Internet and purchase a higher edition and or go to the store and purchase it because you will need the upgrade to proceed. After getting the upgrade key continue with selecting Enter Upgrade Key then Follow the step by step instructions for doing the upgrade. With this PC I expect the upgrade to take about 10-15mins because it meets or exceeds all requirements for doing a clean...
