December 27, 2012 // Franchising.com // Needham, Mass - Get In Shape For Women, a fitness franchise that offers small group personal training for women, was recently ranked in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Recognized by entrepreneurs and franchisors as a top competitive tool of measurement, the Franchise 500® places Get In Shape For Women as No. 213 for its exceptional performance in areas including financial strength and stability, growth rate, and system size.

“We are pleased and honored to be recognized in the Franchise 500 for the third year in a row,” said Lou DeFrancisco, president and COO of Get In Shape For Women. “This recognition reinforces our ongoing commitment to providing an outstanding business opportunity for potential franchisees and supporting our business owners nationwide.”

“The Franchise 500® is a valuable resource for anyone looking to pursue a business venture and wants to get a scope of which companies and industries are doing well in today’s economy.” says Amy Cosper, VP and editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “The ranked franchises are the ones whose business models are working best—and are a major force contributing to the franchise upswing. Their ability to successfully satisfy customers, continually add units, create jobs and grow overall keeps them ahead of the rest and worthy of distinction.”

The rankings for all 500 companies are determined using an exclusive formula that takes into account objective and quantifiable factors. An independent CPA analyzes all financial data.

All franchises are given a cumulative score, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.
