FAQ's
The System
The BODiZONE system differs greatly from the other “weight loss” centers. Firstly, we do not offer the “one size fits all” approach to losing fat, developing a healthy lifestyle or to building lean muscle. All of our exercise, nutrition, supplementation and inspiration programs are fully personalized for each individual man or woman. This customization of a clients program ensures that he or she is receiving the correct amount and type of exercise, food and supplements that their body requires at each stage of their progress towards their goal. In addition, each client works out in privacy with the support and guidance of their own one-on-one Certified Personal Trainer
Exercise program:
Each client will undergo a thorough fitness evaluation to determine their starting fitness level as well as to pin point any muscle/joint problems, imbalances or other issues that they may have. The results of this testing will allow their trainer to provide the appropriate strength, cardio and flexibility program for their body and desired result. In addition, at BODiZONE we emphasize the use of free weights, stability balls and medicine balls in conjunction with some resistance and cardio machines. This combination ensures proper development of critical “core” muscles as well as progressive, continual results.
Nutrition program:
Utilizing their own pass word, each client will have on- line access to the BODiZONE .com personalized nutrition programs. Designed by our Registered Nutritional Consultants, we offer meal plans that are fully personalized for each individual and their goal(s). The meal plans are healthy and delicious and can be custom designed to address any pre-existing health condition the user may have. From this site, the client can also download personalized shopping lists and fast food recommendations for their convenience.
Supplement program:
Depending on their goal, each BODiZONE client will be able to create their own on- line personalized supplement program designed to support them in the achievement of their goal.
Inspiration/Support program:
In addition to the on- line nutrition and supplement programs, each BODiZONE client can access our inspiration/motivation programs as well as have access to a Registered Nutritional Consultant and Certified Personal Trainer to answer any questions and provide needed support and guidance.

Why the BODiZONE system is better than the rest
Most people who try other popular “one size fits all” exercise and diet plans fail in their quest to achieve their goals. While they may enjoy some results initially from one of these other programs, the results usually stop occurring within 2 to 3 months of starting, never to return again. The reason for this is simple- the human body is highly adaptive. If you apply the same program day after day, month after month results simply stop. What’s needed is a personalized program that changes as your body changes while always prescribing the right amount of food, supplements and exercise and the right time. This is the primary reason why circuit training using pneumatic or hydraulic resistance (as found in all of the women only weight loss centers) has a high incidence of hitting a plateau (cessation of results). The BODiZONE system is different. At BODiZONE the emphasis is on free weight training using dumbbells, barbells, stability balls, medicine balls along with some cardiovascular and resistance training machines. A Certified Personal Trainer instructs and guides each client through their workout ensuring safe, effective and continual results. The BODiZONE nutritional programs are also fully personalized, adjusting in calories, micro and macro nutrients as your body changes. Our supplement plans are customized to suit each client’s individual goal(s) and our support system motivates and inspires clients to success. This emphasis on results for the client ensures customer satisfaction, which equals renewals and referrals.

All other expenses pertaining to the opening and operation are the responsibility of the licensee. Additional expenses will include (but not limited to) lease hold improvements, signage, first and last months rent, telephone/fax, computer (usually 2) and uniforms. The total capital cost of a typical BODiZONE ranges from $40,000 to $ 75,000.

Starting a new business does require a significant investment but the rewards are more than worth it. Because opening a BODiZONE typically costs in the range of $40,000 to $75,000 (including initial license fee of $15,000) some options to consider are;
