2. How Does Rockbox Differ From Other Fitness Franchise Concepts?

Our concept takes fitness to a whole new level. Our studios were built to avoid the number one problem with any fitness program…boredom! It’s bad for your mind and it‘s bad for your body.

We’ve intentionally implemented the perfect variety of equipment to allow us to create a full-body, goal-smashing, life-changing workout. We have also developed an entire library of exercises to ensure you will never get the same workout twice.

Our studios feature all of the boxing equipment and heavy bags you would expect for a boxing workout, plus a wide variety of functional training tools like kettlebells, battle ropes, and sleds. We also install high-end sound systems that keep you pumped and pushing hard, as well as adaptive lighting to cue another level of psychological motivation. When the lights change, so does your intensity! These variables, along with our lifetime of experience, set RockBox apart from other fitness franchises.

5. Why Boutique Fitness Vs. Big Box Gyms?

Boutique fitness builds COMMUNITY. This type of business offers a more specialized service to create a unique, intimate experience for its members. Boutique fitness businesses offer customized programs, semi-private classes, and group classes for their members. These offerings build personal relationships between the staff and members. Members receive focused guidance and more individualized training in a small group setting to help ensure a successful, positive fitness experience.
