Orthopedic Surgeon to open 25 Athletic Nation personal training gyms
San Jose, Calif. - July 10, 2007- Dr. Kurt Ehlert executed an Area Development Agreement (ADA) to develop the entire Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina market with Athletic Nation Men's Personal Training Gyms.
As a medical doctor and president of his practice, Dr. Ehlert had been searching for a franchise opportunity that would compliment his medical practice and allow him to use his health background to assist men in changing their lives.
After discovering Athletic Nation and its focus on improving the health & fitness of men in the 30 year old to 60 year old age group (who have made up a large portion of his Orthopedic practice), Dr. Ehlert knew that the program developed by Athletic Nation was the answer both personally and professionally. |
