Working with the blitz45 group has been a great experience.  We have supported the blitz45 team with studio layout, branded colors and suppling the latest functional training equipment and flooring.  As blitz45 grows, we look forward to a long and rewarding relationship.

The blitz45 team thinks out of the box when developing exercise programing for their functional training workouts.  As suppliers of the heart rate, monitors for blitz45, our programing platform and the blitz45 programing platform complement each other perfectly. It is a pleasure working with the experienced and talented team at blitz45.

Danny Miranda

Pithy Marketing

I have had the pleasure of working with the blitz45 team since its inception.  Pithy Marketing created the blitz45 website with the superb and professional input of the blitz45 team.  Pithy Marketing is coordinating efforts with the blitz45 team to help develop regional and individual franchisees through its marketing and advertising efforts.  With the first group of blitz45 franchises off the ground, we are looking forward to explosive growth and a long and lasting relationship.

Shary Thur

Thur Retail
President

Working with the bltz45 organization has been a team effort.  My years in the real-estate industry blend well with the years of fitness experience the team at blitz45 has.  They know what type of location is necessary for their franchisees to succeed which makes my job much easier.   We look for locations in A, B and C centers.  They all work but the decision is made, based on getting the best lease terms and conditions for the blitz45 franchisee. Now that the first ones are off and running we are looking at several more for new franchisees.  I am very pleased to be the real estate side of blitz45.

Larry Holmstrom

I have known the blitz45 team for many years as we have known each other through are workings and relationships in the fitness industry.  It was great news when I received a phone call from blitz45 corporate to do the marketing for the new blitz45 franchisees.  We are now at work developing the marketing program for the new showcase blitz45 in Davie, Fl. for Craig and Kamal two great franchisees and part of the team at blitz45.  Looking forward to a great and fun relationship with the blitz45 organization.

Lance Rice

Paramount Acceptence
VP of business Development

Paramount acceptance has been in the health and fitness Industry a long, long, time.  We have known some of the team at blitz45 as long as we have been processing funds for health clubs that is a long time.  Over the past 5 years, we have been processing funds for another brand that the blitz45 team own.  When the blitz45 brand was developed and launched, it was a natural step to start processing funds for the blitz45 brand.  We are excited to be part of the blitz45 team and see great potential for expansion.  The blitz45 functional training studio offers great workouts for members and is an affordable fun and profitable franchise to own.
