“Franchisee of the Year recipients represent the best in franchising,” said Matthew Haller, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association. “This is the highest honor IFA awards to individual franchisees, and local business owners like Helen exemplify the power of franchising and its positive contributions to communities around the world.”

After spending nearly a decade with the brand, Helen has secured her space as one of the strongest franchise owners within the Stretch Zone franchise system and fitness industry.
