CBI April 2018

Gale Landers, the co-founder and owner of Fitness Formula, Ltd., makes use of a finely tuned equation—involving a hub-and-spoke strategy, standardized facilities, and close attention to the right metrics—to develop and operate great clubs in Chicago, one of the most competitive markets in the country. He’s currently at 10 clubs, and, believe us, he’s still counting.

“FFC constantly strives to get closer to great, and farther away from good. Being big and being great are two different concepts. Our mission will always be to own and operate superior clubs and to deliver outstanding results.”
