Franchisee Spotlight: Nick Washmuth
Nick Washmuth has
always had a passion for fitness and health. After graduating from the University
of Florida with a bachelor’s of science, Nick went on to receive his Clinical
Doctorate in Physical Therapy and then Clinical Doctorate in Manual Physical
Therapy. He practiced physical therapy around St Louis for seven years before
relocating to Birmingham in August this year for his wife’s career.
Nick is currently a
core faculty member in the physical therapy department at Samford University,
and is working on developing the university’s first physical therapy program.
Upon receiving their accreditation, the faculty will have their first cohort of
students in 2015, and Nick hopes to eventually use his future gym for field
trips.
How did you learn
about Workout Anytime?
I was looking to open my own physical therapy practice or
a start-up gym, but with my inexperience in running a business, a franchise
seemed like the best fit. I got in touch with Steven Elliott who happens to be
a good friend of mine from college as well as
WORKOUT ANYTIME’s Area Developer for
Alabama, and I saw the success and fun he was having with his business.
What are your
future development plans?
I want to saturate the market. There’s room for 10-15
gyms in the area.
