Aug. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- With a growing number of people adopting healthy lifestyles, comes an increased demand for fitness facilities and athletic programs. Aspiring business owners can cater to this demand by owning a franchise in the health and fitness industry (http://www.franchise.com/health-fitness-franchises.cfm). Snap Fitness is a fast-growing, state-of-the-art, 24/7 fitness center franchise. Snap Fitness franchise owners benefit from owning a fitness center concept that appeals to a wide audience, and features a compact foot print, minimal overhead, requires limited staffing and offers semi-absentee ownership and multi-unit ownership opportunities.

The Hitting Academy is a low-overhead, indoor baseball and softball training facility franchise that offers aspiring business owners the opportunity to tap into America’s love of baseball. The Hitting Academy provides athletes of all ages with proven coaching services, clinics and private lessons. The locations also feature a retail component. With The Hitting Academy’s proven, turnkey business system, franchisees are able to enter a marketplace that has limited competition and own a business that helps athletes gain a competitive edge (http://www.franchise.com/sports-recreation/childrens-spor...).

SoccerTots® is a premier franchised physical development program that helps children ages 18 months to six years old develop fine motor skills and coordination. The SoccerTots® concept gives would-be franchisees the opportunity to own a business that combines the significant demand for child development programs with the tremendous popularity of soccer. A soccer background is not necessary to qualify, as franchisees focus on marketing and growing the business.

The coffee industry (http://www.franchise.com/coffee-smoothie-beverages/coffee...) is another market that continues to experience dynamic growth. Coffee represents 75% of all caffeine consumed in the U.S. and 54% of Americans over age 18 drink coffee every day. Inspired by Russian traditions and heritage, Dazbog Coffee has created a unique and intriguing coffee shop franchise concept that embraces the old world way while creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Whether would-be franchisees are looking to open one store, or have a vision of owning multiple stores, the brand offers flexible opportunities to help franchisees reach their goals.

Franchises that provide outsourced business services are also in-high demand. As companies make workforce reductions, they are outsourcing many essential functions to business service franchises. Payroll Matters is a franchise that provides clients with a variety of payroll services including electronic banking, direct deposit employee services, payroll tax filings and special reports. Previous industry experience is not required to take advantage of the Payroll Matters franchise opportunity. Franchisees receive a complete, proven business system and focus on marketing the services they provide.
