GYMGUYZ, the world’s largest personal training franchise for in-home and on-site workouts, has expanded its services to Southwest Atlanta. The company uses a fleet of bright red, branded vehicles to deliver certified personal trainers, equipment, and customized workouts directly to customers’ homes and workplaces. This convenient approach, combined with personalized fitness plans, helps clients achieve significant results. It is ideal for those who want to start a fitness routine or exercise more regularly.
The new GYMGUYZ location is owned by local couple Joel and Erin Castro. Joel’s passion for fitness began in college, where he worked as a personal trainer. After earning his certification, he planned to coach youth athletes. However, with a growing family, he switched to a career in healthcare for more stability. Despite the change, his love for fitness and coaching remained strong. When the chance to franchise with GYMGUYZ appeared, Joel saw it as the perfect way to return to his passion and set a positive example for their six children.
For Erin, GYMGUYZ offered the chance to work from home. This allowed her to balance daily responsibilities while staying fully involved in the business. Together, Erin and Joel viewed franchise ownership as an opportunity to build something meaningful. They wanted to help others improve their health and well-being. GYMGUYZ became a way for them to follow their passions, grow a business, and inspire their children to pursue their dreams.
“At GYMGUYZ, our mission is to help people live happy, healthy lives through fitness,” said Erin. “We are not just offering a service. We provide the support people need to become their best selves and reach their fitness goals, no matter how big or small. We are very excited to bring a positive impact to Southwest Atlanta and the people who live here.”
GYMGUYZ offers a wide range of customized fitness programs. These include strength training, cardio, sports conditioning, weight loss and toning, senior fitness, youth and teen fitness, assisted stretching, and nutrition counseling. Training sessions are available for individuals as well as groups such as couples and families. Their nationally accredited Certified Personal Trainers use various techniques and tools to deliver excellent results. Each workout is unique but always fun and challenging. Unlike traditional gyms, GYMGUYZ charges no monthly fees, and the first session is free.
Currently, GYMGUYZ serves over 1,300 cities across three countries and continues to grow quickly. As in-home and on-site workouts become more popular, the company has expanded beyond private homes. It now offers fitness programs at corporations, schools, hospitals, and residential communities, including apartment complexes and senior living centers.
