Description

Zac Pennington has turned franchise ownership into a family affair. Find out why Anytime Fitness might be the perfect pairing, and why 8 gyms are just the start.
The fitness industry is highly competitive but that level of competition is exactly what fuels Zac’s passion for providing health and wellbeing. From working in jobs that ultimately left him unsatisfied, diving into franchise ownership has given him a business model that fits perfectly with his core values.
The Wolf and Zac discuss how growing up in a family of entrepreneurs was key to running his own business, why his creative freedom is so important to him, and why he knows exactly how to dominate the fitness market.
You’ll hear how Zac jumped on an opportunity to take over a struggling Anytime Fitness business and turned it around, how this kickstarted his chain of ownership, and why he’s always looking for more.

There’s more than one way to find financial freedom. Most startups are doomed to fail, but there’s an alternative route for hungry entrepreneurs. One that involves far less risk, far more work-life balance and just as much profit. Franchises. This is the podcast that gives aspiring franchise owners the playbook to build a multi-unit franchise empire of their own. Every episode we hear from guests who are building their franchise empire: Franchisees who started with one unit and aren’t stopping until they get to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands more locations. Hosted by The Wolf, you’ll hear exactly how to turn your ambition into tangible actions and take your first steps up the franchise ladder. You’ll get a breakdown on the steps you need to take open your first franchise, your second location, and beyond, along with the pitfalls to avoid.
