"Owning my own business has been a
life-changing experience.”
-Scott Michel,
Franchise Owner, Former Trainer (BS, CSCS)
Two years ago I was an elementary teacher and part-time trainer. After two years of ownership, my own Orange Shoe franchise is at capacity. Believe me, I was never the business owner type. But luckily for me, Orange Shoe knows both the franchise and fitness businesses. And I know how to work hard.
Today, I have the best of both worlds. I'm my own boss. I'm in the driver's seat. But I'm not alone.
My goal is to have a million dollar business so that I can spend more time with my family. And even though I am no longer a trainer, I still enjoy seeing the difference that Orange Shoe makes in the lives of our clients. It transforms them like it transformed me.
“I was looking for an organization I could grow in, but not get lost in. I was looking for a high-quality company that could attract the best people to work for me. And I found it.”

Franchise Owner, Former Trainer (MSW, CSCS)
You know what's great? My business is up and running and I don't have to be there at all times. I have a great staff in place that love what they do and know how to motivate clients. That's what this brand is about. Being your best so everyone can do better.
“If you want to become part of an industry-leading team with a unique business model, Orange Shoe Personal Fitness is the right fit.”

I was a trainer at Orange Shoe Personal Fitness for nearly five years before I decided to open my own Orange Shoe franchise. Once I started the process of opening an Orange Shoe franchise, I knew it was a good fit for me. Orange Shoe has a unique franchise model that allows an entrepreneur the flexibility to use their creativity to personalize their business while still providing help in areas that each franchisee needs.
The best part of owning an Orange Shoe franchise is being able to help my team achieve their goals and prosper in life while giving our clients the tools they need to lead healthier, more fit lifestyles. Everyday brings a new and exciting challenge that keeps me engaged and motivated to keep my business successful.
In the future, I would like to own multiple Orange Shoe franchises and continue the success that I have had thus far. I am very fortunate to be part of the Orange Shoe franchise system and look forward to an exciting, long-term future with Orange Shoe Personal Fitness.
“We all work as a team at Orange Shoe, so I’ve never had to worry about not having enough support. An Orange Shoe Personal Fitness franchise has allowed me to take my career to the next level.”

Franchise Owner, Former Trainer (MS, CSCS)
I had been a personal trainer long before I owned an Orange Shoe Personal Fitness franchise. In fact, I was a self-employed personal trainer who spent my days traveling to homes and private studios for appointments. When I started hearing more about the potential opportunities available in owning an Orange Shoe franchise, the transition seemed like an obvious one for me.
The leap from fitness trainer to owner can be a scary one, but I am grateful I made the transition with Orange Shoe. You will not find a better fitness business model in the industry. Now, I have the freedom of owning my own business in an industry I am passionate about, but I am still able to be part of a team. I am even looking to expand my business by opening another Orange Shoe franchise.
