Franchise Canada Chats - Season 5 Episode 1 | LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic: Purpose Driven Franchising

In this episode, we talk to LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic CEO Sara Hodson and franchisee Michelle Dunbar who opened her Bowmanville, Ontario location in July 2020. LIVE WELL is a medical fitness clinic that specializes in providing supervised exercise and healthy lifestyle coaching for people who have chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, and provides fitness support for those wanting to prevent them. Here, Sara and Michelle share: • Why Michelle chose LIVE WELL over other franchise opportunities and instead of starting her own business from scratch • How LIVE WELL’s core values impacts Sara’s ability to find franchisees aligned with the same mission • The challenging surprises (and joys!) that emerged from COVID-19 for the LIVE WELL system and for Michelle’s brand new franchise that was opened in the midst of the pandemic
