- Technology and Sales Systems: Full setup and training on Mindbody, InfuseFT, My Studio, and iCIMS platforms to streamline scheduling, payments, lead generation, client relationship management, and hiring while driving revenue from day one.
This foundation ensures you open with confidence, systems in place, and a clear roadmap for success. We're invested in getting every detail right so you can focus on building relationships and establishing your presence.

“I fell in love with Fitness Together’s personalized training model and the opportunity to have my own training suite. After years of coaching and managing, I acquired the Melrose location, deeply rooted in the community. By listening closely to clients and refining our approach, we’ve strengthened loyalty and enhanced the overall client experience. Being part of the Fitness Together family and WellBiz’s support has made all the difference in growing the business and giving back locally through sports and community events.”- Melanie Flynn
