osh Grinstead was frustrated. It was 2012 and the job market was discouraging. Plus, he felt like he had plateaued in his career in higher education. He took a good look at himself and his future. “I asked myself, ‘Do I really want to continue being knocked around in this job market, or should I find something I really want to do and be my own boss?’” He decided to start his own business. At first, he wasn’t quite sure what that business looked like exactly. He spent two years researching his options before landing on GYMGUYZ,® a personal-training franchise. Recommended by Nick Neonakis, a consultant at The Franchise Consulting Company, GYMGUYZ® turned out to be a perfect fit for Grinstead. “I loved the GYMGUYZ® model right off the bat. It’s a really unique service with low overhead and tremendous potential.” It also helps improve people’s health, and thus, their overall wellbeing. “It has allowed me to make a difference in people’s lives,” says Grinstead. He’s not just talking about paying clients, either. Grinstead gives back to his community
