Franchisee Spotlight: Nick Washmuth

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.
