YAS Fitness Centers Courting Fit Female Executives for Women-Owned Franchise Opportunity
March 03, 2008

Based in Venice California, the fitness capital of the world, what makes YAS unique is its “New Spin on Yoga.” The YAS class mixes indoor cycling with Fowler’s signature Yoga for Athletes® class, which was called “Zen on Wheels” by Self magazine. YAS has been featured in numerous yoga, fitness and women’s magazines.

“I think that YAS franchising is a great avenue for business women because it’s both safe and rewarding. As women it’s in our nature to be nurturing and with YAS they’re working and changing people’s lives.”

Fowler herself “just jumped” from the corporate world in 2001 when she went from being COO and general counsel of a $200-million dollar vitamin company to create YAS. Now, she’s has gone from being a powerhouse in the corporate world to a powerhouse in the fitness industry.

YAS Franchise Inc. is the newest of Fowler’s four YAS branded-fitness-related companies. The combined earnings of YAS Fitness Centers, YAS Yoga & Sportswear and YAS Production (Which produced her very popular Yoga for Athletes® & her upcoming Overcoming Obstacles DVD) put her in the top 3% of women-owned businesses nationwide.

Yoga itself is a $4-billion dollar industry and Yoga Hybrids are the fastest growing aspect of the Yoga industry. As a trend-setter, Fowler and YAS Fitness Centers are at the forefront. But it’s not only about making money.

“YAS Fitness Centers care about more than just creating a hip space for people to workout,” says Fowler. “We care about the community we go into and the world we live in.” As a YAS Fitness Center Franchisee you will have an opportunity to truly make a positive difference in people’s lives.

Fowler says she’s only interested in executives who have their heart in fitness and who want to be actively involved in the franchise. “I am looking for people who are into fitness themselves and we will only sell to owner/operators,” says Fowler. “We want people who want to not only run but also be involved in their own business.”
