Contours International Franchise

Contours Express: Transforming Women’s Fitness – A Franchise Opportunity

Welcome to Contours Express, a global leader in women’s fitness, where we present you with an exceptional franchise opportunity. Since 1998, Contours Express has been dedicated to helping women worldwide achieve their health and fitness goals through our innovative CardioFit© exercise system. With over 750 health and fitness studios spread across 30 countries, we proudly hold the #2 position in women’s fitness on an international scale. Launched in India in late 2006 and known here as Contours International, we offer women-only hygienic studios coupled with compassionate service, which has contributed to our rapid growth.

The CardioFit© Circuit: Your Path to Fitness

Our hallmark CardioFit© circuit comprises a unique 29-minute workout that seamlessly integrates weight-bearing equipment with aerobic stations. This groundbreaking approach accelerates metabolism and lean muscle tissue development, leading to body fat and weight loss. At Contours, our dedicated and friendly fitness trainers work closely with women to enhance their fitness levels, boost energy, and achieve their desired body shapes. Welcome to the new era of women’s fitness – it’s fast, it’s welcoming, and it’s enjoyable. And the best part? It only takes 29 minutes!

What Sets Us Apart?

Contours Express firmly believes that women have distinctive fitness needs that unisex gyms fail to address. While men often seek to build muscle mass, women typically aim to tone their bodies. Imagine a fitness environment where you can be completely comfortable, free from concerns about your weight or appearance. Women cherish the privacy of such workout spaces. Our motivated female fitness trainers create a supportive atmosphere, tailoring workouts to individual needs and fitness levels. Our small, intimate studios foster a friendly environment, with trainers always close by – it’s like working out with a friend. It’s important to note that women influence 80% of all purchase decisions.

Franchise Highlights:

Space Requirement: 1500 Sq Ft (1 Sq Meter = 10.76 Sq Ft.) Investment: Rs. 50 lac – Rs. 1 Cr. Franchise/Brand Fee: Rs. 7 lac Royalty/Commission: Rs. 25,000 The Fitness Franchise Opportunity:

Franchising is still emerging in India, representing only 4% of the total business landscape. However, with rising disposable incomes and growing awareness of the importance of good health, fitness, and well-being, franchising in the fitness industry is poised for substantial growth. The Indian fitness industry, currently estimated at 2000 crores, is expanding at a remarkable rate of 60% annually.
