3 Phase Figure Correction




Out of 10 owners, generally, 4 are husband and wife management teams, 3 are manage-the-manager and 3 are owner-operated by individuals who have a daily passion for health, fitness, nutrition, or wellness. We all truly enjoy people and the social atmosphere of Inches-A-Weigh centers.
Owner-Operated This individual has unique and personal interests that create a real passion to work with our clients on a one-on-one basis! This individual is often a former customer, health-care professional or a testimonial spokesperson for the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This individual will usually have the desire to work closely with our clients and staff through-out the life of the business. A salary, commission and bonus position can be enjoyed by this owner in addition to the profit beyond the monthly break-even point. He or she may also employ and work alongside a staff to manage the business. This provides the flexibility to come and go from the business as desired, working from an office in the center.
Manage-the-Manager This individual prefers to manage the business, NOT operate the business. This managing process is defined as having an office positioned in the rear of the center or a home-based office, both of which give the owner the flexibility to managerially come and go and create his/her own schedule. In addition, this individual can utilize his/her respective sales/marketing, operations or administrative experience. This individual will often recruit a spouse, partner, family member, or in many cases prefer the traditional methods of assembling a staff to grow the business. This form of ownership yields a strategic opportunity to manage multiple units and supplement or even replace your annual income.
Husband/Wife Management Team The husband/wife teams use complementary skills and share in a division of labor. Generally, one spouse will enjoy the sales and marketing components, working with advertising representatives and the center director in the duties of sales management. The other spouse will enjoy the operations and service components of the exercise classes, weight loss, set-ups, weigh-ins, and paperwork while having the flexibility to enjoy the social aspects of the clientele. Usually, both partners will collectively represent a unified management culture to the staff. Either the husband or the wife will have special interests in the accounting aspect of the business
