WHO BECOMES AN OWNER
You Do Not Need A Fitness Background
Most of our franchise owners came from healthcare, therapy, education, nonprofit, or ministry. What they had in common was a heart for this community and the discipline to follow a system.
Special Strong University gives you more than 100 hours of training. You graduate a Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified Adaptive Fitness Trainer, with a 200 page operations manual and a dedicated coach who has done this before.
What Ownership Actually Looks Like
You train athletes at partner gyms, in client homes, or virtually. You build relationships with pediatric therapists, schools, and churches who refer families for years. You lead a small team instead of managing a building.
Weekly recurring training creates predictable monthly revenue. Families pay privately, through HSA and FSA, through government and third party funding programs, or through Champions Foundation scholarships when they cannot afford care.
Our Core Values
At Special Strong, our culture runs on the STRONG values: the principles that guide how we serve every person who walks through our doors.
Stewardship
We steward our time, talent, and care faithfully, putting the safety and growth of our clients and team first.
Transparency
We are real people, real with people: honest, open, and willing to confront what needs to grow.
Relationship Focused
We put relationships first and profit second, leading every action with the "why" behind what we do.
Ownership
We own our roles and take full responsibility, taking initiative and welcoming honest feedback to grow.
No Judgment
We seek to understand each person's walk of life, accepting others where they are: physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Generosity
We are blessed to be a blessing, generous with our time, talent, and encouragement to our community.
