STOCKBRIDGE — Nekisha Dickerson gave her personal trainer, Don Wisby, an exasperated look Friday when he jokingly asked her to do another set of leg raises at the end of their first training session at Workout Anytime Fitness.

#He’d already had the Stockbridge resident doing several exercises, including standing cable wood chops and cable pulls before the leg raises. When she gave him the look, he let out a laugh.

By Tony Adams for The Ledger-Enquirer

That's the task before Randy Trotter as well, finding entrepreneurs willing and able financially to buy into Atlanta-based fitness company Workout Anytime, which could have three to four locations at full build-out.

"We like the Columbus market. We call it an underserved market," said Trotter, vice president of franchise development for Workout Anytime, which now has about 50 stores open or in development, with a short-term goal of reaching 100 units. Supermarket-anchored shopping centers are the preferred locations, he said.

"Most people that are looking for franchises kind of fall into the restaurant market," Trotter said. "When they see our model and our concept, they're pretty much blown away because there's so few working pieces compared to a restaurant."
